About this file

This is a GSA Travel Rates reference document published by the U.S. General Services Administration that provides federal per diem reimbursement information and travel-related resources. The document serves as a navigation portal to GSA's comprehensive travel management policies and tools, including per diem rate lookups, mileage reimbursement rates, lodging information, and travel charge card services. The GSA per diem lookup tool allows federal travelers to search reimbursement rates by location and fiscal year, with rates available for the period between October 1, 2023, and September 30, 2026. The document establishes that traveler reimbursement is based on the location of work activities rather than accommodations, unless lodging is unavailable at the work site, in which case agencies may authorize rates where lodging is obtained. Per diem localities are defined as all locations within or entirely surrounded by corporate city limits, with county definitions extending to listed county boundaries. When military installations or government-related facilities span multiple jurisdictional boundaries, the higher applicable rate applies to the entire installation or facility.

The document provides no specific pricing terms, contract set-asides, incumbent information, or funding requirements, as it functions as a reference resource and policy guidance tool rather than a procurement solicitation. The GSA travel rates system applies uniformly across federal agencies, with specialized rates for Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, and foreign countries established by the Department of Defense and Department of State respectively. The resource is maintained as a searchable online tool integrated into the broader GSA.gov platform, which also provides access to federal contracting opportunities, procurement guidance, and government acquisition resources. No project-specific details, response deadlines, or award timelines are applicable to this reference document.

The above video begins with a drone shot shows a large American flag waving in the foreground, with a city skyline, green parkland, and an elevated highway stretching into the distance under an overcast sky. It transitions to an over-the-shoulder view of a person in camouflage at a workstation, facing computer towers with blinking lights and a monitor above in a bright equipment room. Next, inside an industrial facility, two workers in hard hats and safety vests stand near large pipes. One gestures while the other holds a tablet, then both focus on it as they review plans. The scene shifts to a meeting room, where a woman with glasses reviews documents and takes notes at her desk, with a small American flag behind her. Finally, at sunset, a silhouetted worker walks beneath an irrigation rig, carrying a tablet or clipboard as warm light filters through the structure.

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."

When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
