Question: Are imported items allowed?

Answer: Far Part 25 and DFARS Part 225 provide the bases for evaluating domestic, foreign and/or prohibited items. The regulations are very explicit as to how offers are to be evaluated regarding foreign acquisition. Determining whether imported items are "allowed" is dependent upon many conditions which are all defined in the solicitation. Unfortunately, there is not one answer to this question since the variations in scenarios are numerous. The FAR provides a number of examples to help clarify how the procedures shall be used.

Question: Is freight prepaid by DeCA or charged back to DeCA? Both of which are the common use of FOB Destination.

Answer: Neither is correct. The cost of freight/shipping is to be included in the price of the individual items. Shipping and/or freight is not to be charged as a separate item on any order placed after contract award.

Question: What does Transshipment Point mean?

Answer: The Transshipment point is a location within the Continental United States (CONUS), to which overseas shipments are shipped. The shipment is then sent through the DeCA Transportation System to the final overseas location at DeCA’s expense.
