napolik Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 FYI, this extract comes from the GSA solicitation for SIN 874 of the MOBIS program: Quote ( Travel: The Contractor may be required to travel in performance of orders issued under this contract. Allowable travel and per diem charges are governed by Pub .L. 99-234 and FAR Part 31, and are reimbursable by the ordering agency or can be priced as a fixed price item on orders placed under the Multiple Award Schedule. Travel in performance of a task order will only be reimbursable to the extent authorized by the ordering agency. The Industrial Funding Fee does NOT apply to travel and per diem charges. Unquote I believe this reflects a commerical approach to dealing with travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerfed Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 See the Nike slogan. I believe this reflects a commerical approach to dealing with travel. Actually I would have just done it as a firm fixed price contract for a commercial item without further thought. As part of the agreement, I would say the vendor gets their travel costs reimbursed. That's the commercial practice. I wouldn't consider that anymore of a cost type contract than transportation charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
