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

FAR 52.247-50 No Evaluation of Transportation Costs.

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 tells bidders that the cost of transporting supplies will not be considered when the government evaluates offers for award. It is used when exact delivery destinations are unknown and it is impractical to set tentative or general delivery places for comparing transportation costs. For contractors, this means transportation costs should not affect how their offer is scored.

Applies to: Solicitations where exact destinations are not known and it is impractical to establish tentative or general delivery places for evaluating transportation costs
