FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.247-35 F.o.b. Destination, Within Consignee's Premises.

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 defines what 'f.o.b. destination, within consignee's premises' means: the contractor delivers the goods free of expense to the Government, laid down inside the consignee's premises, including specific rooms if specified. It matters because the contractor bears responsibility for loss or damage until the consignee receives the shipment at the delivery point, and must pay all charges to that point.

Applies to: Contractors under solicitations and contracts where the delivery term is f.o.b. destination, within consignee's premises

What it requires

  • Pack and mark the shipment to comply with contract specifications, or if none, prepare it per carrier requirements
  • Prepare and distribute commercial bills of lading
  • Deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the contract's specified delivery point
  • Be responsible for loss or damage to the goods before the consignee receives them at the delivery point
