GSA Standard Tender of Service (STOS), GSA National Rules Tender No. 100-D, Item 1300 Fuel Related General Rate Adjustment (FRGRA)

Zusammenfassung

The General Services Administration (GSA), in compliance with 41 U.S.C. 418b, is publishing for comment in the attachment to this notice an amendment to Item 1300, Fuel Related General Rate Adjustment (FRGRA), of the GSA National Rules Tender No. 100-D, a part of the GSA STOS. Item 1300 offers transportation service providers (TSP's) that participate in GSA's STOS, a means to recover operating cost increases as a result of sudden and unforeseen increases in the price of diesel fuel. Correspondingly, the item provides for a downward adjustment when the price of diesel fuel suddenly or unexpectedly decreases. Without this provision, TSP's could compensate for operating expenses changes due to sudden and unforeseen fuel cost increases or decreases only twice yearly when GSA implements new transportation rates solicited under its semiannual Request for Rates Offers.
