47.301-1 - Responsibilities of contracting officers | FAR Navigator

47.301-1

Responsibilities of contracting officers

Contracting officers must coordinate with traffic management offices to ensure all transportation factors and costs are considered throughout the contracting process, especially for complex or sensitive shipments.

Overview

FAR 47.301-1 outlines the responsibilities of contracting officers regarding transportation considerations in government contracts. Contracting officers must coordinate with traffic management offices to obtain necessary transportation factors for solicitations, awards, contract administration, modifications, and terminations. This includes ensuring the efficient and safe movement of government property to and from contractor facilities. Special attention is required for acquisitions involving supplies that are unusually large, heavy, sensitive, dangerous, or suitable for containerized movement. Contracting officers must also account for additional transportation costs, such as special equipment, extra materials, or indirect routing, when determining total transportation charges.

Key Rules

Coordination with Traffic Management Offices
- Contracting officers must obtain transportation factors from traffic management offices for all relevant contract phases.
Special Transportation Considerations
- For unusual or sensitive shipments, contracting officers must involve transportation offices early and consider all potential additional costs.

Responsibilities

Contracting Officers: Must coordinate with traffic management offices, request their participation for special shipments, and consider all transportation-related costs.
Contractors: Must comply with transportation requirements as specified in the contract.
Agencies: Should provide traffic management support and guidance to contracting officers.

Practical Implications

This section ensures that transportation logistics are properly considered in government contracts, reducing risks and unexpected costs.
Failure to coordinate with traffic management offices or to consider all transportation factors can lead to delays, increased costs, or safety issues.
Early involvement of transportation experts is critical for complex or sensitive shipments.

General Contracts

Consider all additional transportation costs, such as special equipment, excess materials, or circuitous routing, when determining total charges.

Coordinate movement of government property to and from contractor facilities as required by the contract.

Obtain transportation factors from traffic management offices for solicitations, awards, and contract administration.
