FAR 52.247-45 F.o.b. Origin and/or F.o.b. Destination Evaluation.

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 provision is used when a solicitation allows offers on either an f.o.b. origin or f.o.b. destination basis. The Government will award on whichever basis the Contracting Officer determines is most advantageous to the Government. An offer submitted on only one basis is acceptable but will be evaluated only on that basis.

Applies to: Solicitations where offers are invited on both f.o.b. origin and f.o.b. destination bases

Key terms: f.o.b. origin · f.o.b. destination · Contracting Officer · most advantageous to the Government
