As prescribed in 47.305-6(i) insert the following provision:
F.O.B. ORIGIN CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES ORIGINATING OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES (APR 2008) - DLAD
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 final 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 contractor 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 without limitation. Failure to designate a port of loading having regular sailings of U.S. flag vessels which will meet the required delivery dates at the final destination may render the offer unacceptable and subject to rejection.
(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) 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.
