FAR 52.247-24 Advance Notification by the Government.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This clause requires the Government to give the contractor advance notice about shipments when the Government is responsible for notifying the contractor of service times or unusual shipments. It matters because the contractor can use that notice to plan equipment and manpower for pickup.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for transportation or transportation-related services where the Government must notify the contractor of specific service times or unusual shipments

Key terms: Advance Notification · normal shipments · other-than-normal shipments · oversized pieces
