47.206 - Preparation of solicitations and contracts | FAR Navigator

47.206

Preparation of solicitations and contracts

Contracting officers must prepare transportation service contracts using standard fixed-price service procedures and include all transportation-specific clauses required by FAR 47.207.

Overview

FAR 47.206 outlines the requirements for contracting officers when preparing solicitations and contracts specifically for transportation or transportation-related services. It directs contracting officers to follow the general FAR procedures for fixed-price service contracts, provided these are not inconsistent with the unique requirements of Subpart 47.2. Additionally, it mandates the inclusion of specific provisions, clauses, and instructions as detailed in FAR 47.207. This ensures that transportation contracts are both compliant with general service contract rules and tailored to the specificities of transportation services.

Key Rules

Use of Fixed-Price Service Contract Procedures
- Contracting officers must use the standard FAR procedures for fixed-price service contracts unless they conflict with Subpart 47.2 requirements.

Agencies: Should oversee compliance with both general and transportation-specific contracting requirements.

Practical Implications
