DSCR M20: FOB ORIGIN CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES ORIGINATING OUTSIDE THE U.S.

M20   52.225-9G10   F.O.B. ORIGIN CONTRACTS FOR    DSCR (JAN 1996)
AND                 SUPPLIES ORIGINATING OUTSIDE  
M25F30              THE UNITED STATES

IF THE OFFEROR OFFERS SUPPLIES ORIGINATING OUTSIDE THE UNITED 
STATES WHICH REQUIRE TRANSPORTATION BY OCEAN VESSEL, THE FOLLOWING 
PROVISIONS APPLY:

    (a)  Inspection and acceptance will be at point of 
origin.  The offeror will designate one or more ports of loading 
which have regular sailings of U.S. flag vessels which will meet 
the required delivery dates at the overseas destinations.  Supplies 
shall be delivered to the port of loading at the expense of the 
contractor.The Government will not be liable for any transportation, 
delivery, storage, demurrage, accessorial, or other charges involved 
prior to actual delivery of the supplies to the port of loading.
The Contractor will assume all responsibility and risk of loss for 
supplies (1) not received at the point to which the contractor has 
prepaid the transportation costs or (2) damaged in transit to such 
point and will replace repair or correct such supplies promptly at
his expense, including any additional transportation charges, 
provided notice of loss or damage is furnished by the Contracting 
Officer within 90 days from the date of acceptance.

    (b)  In addition to the f.o.b. origin price of the supplies, 
the price(s) will include inland transportation costs from the point of 
origin to the port or ports of loading designated by the offeror, for 
delivery to and placement on the carrier's wharf (free along shipside 
within reach of ships loading tackle).  Offers offering supplies of 
foreign origin will be evaluated on the basis of the laid-down cost 
to the Government at the destination(s) shown in the schedule, via a 
port of loading designated by the offeror which is compatible with 
required delivery dates and other military considerations.  Failure 
to designate a port of loading having regular sailings of U.S. flag 
vessels which will meet the required delivery dates at the overseas 
destination may make the bid non-responsive.

    (c)  When delivery to the port of loading is made by common 
carrier, the contractor will state on its invoice the name of the 
carrier and bill of lading number of the shipment and will furnish 
therewith a receipted freight bill or, if the contractor does 
not have a receipted freight bill, a copy of the unreceipted freight
bill and a copy of the carrier's invoice to him.  When shipment is 
made by other than common carrier, the contractor will attach to its 
invoice a receipted copy of the delivery document showing receipt at 
the port of loading.

    (d)  Provisions of FAR Clause 52.247-52, Clearance and 
Documentation Requirements-Shipments to DoD Air or Water Terminal 
Transshipment Points (APR 1984), incorporated herein by reference, 
apply if shipment will be consigned to a DoD water terminal 
transshipment point.

    (e)  Where the schedule provides for the designation of 
The offeror's shipping point, offeror shall indicate the port 
of loading used in submission of his offer.
