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

FAR 52.247-7 Freight Excluded.

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 lists types of shipments that are excluded from a transportation or transportation-related services contract. It matters because it tells the contractor which freight is not covered by the contract, so the contractor should not plan or price for moving those excluded shipments.

Applies to: Solicitations and contracts for transportation or transportation-related services where commodities or shipment types are identified for exclusion

Key terms: Freight Excluded · parcel post · small package carrier · household goods · commodities in bulk
