47.105 - Transportation assistance | FAR Navigator

47.105

Transportation assistance

FAR 47.105 ensures that government agencies and contractors know exactly where to obtain transportation assistance, streamlining logistics and compliance.

Overview

FAR 47.105 outlines the procedures for obtaining transportation assistance for government contracting activities. It specifies where civilian and military agencies should seek help when they lack in-house transportation expertise or resources. The regulation ensures that both civilian and military contracting activities have clear channels for obtaining guidance, support, and data related to transportation matters, which is essential for the effective movement of goods and services under government contracts.

Key Rules

Civilian Agency Assistance
- Civilian agencies without transportation officers must seek help from either the GSA Regional Federal Supply Service Bureau or the transportation element of the designated contract administration office.
Military Agency Assistance
- Military installations should use their own contracting activity's transportation office unless another military activity is designated. If further assistance is needed, military transportation offices should contact the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC).

Responsibilities

Contracting Officers: Ensure appropriate transportation assistance is obtained and referenced in contracts.
Contractors: Coordinate with designated transportation offices as directed by the contract or agency guidance.
Agencies: Provide or facilitate access to transportation expertise, either internally or through designated support offices.

Practical Implications

This section ensures government activities have access to transportation expertise, reducing delays and errors in shipping and logistics.
It clarifies the chain of responsibility, helping agencies and contractors know where to turn for support.
Common pitfalls include failing to seek assistance early or contacting the wrong office, which can lead to shipment delays or compliance issues.

Civilian Agencies

General Contracts

Military Installations

Document all transportation assistance requests and responses as part of contract administration.

For civilian agencies, contact the GSA Regional Federal Supply Service Bureau or the contract administration office's transportation element.

For military installations, use the contracting activity's transportation office or the designated military activity.

Identify if your agency has a transportation officer or requires assistance.

Military transportation offices should request additional aid from SDDC if needed.
