SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    If it is in the best interest of the Government, the contracting 
officer may authorize cost-reimbursement contractors to obtain, for 
official purposes only, interagency motor pool vehicles and related 
services. Contractors' requests for vehicles must obtain two copies of 
the agency authorization, the number of vehicles and related services 
required and period of use, a list of employees who are authorized to 
request the vehicles, a listing of equipment authorized to be serviced, 
and billing instructions and address. A written statement that the 
contractor will assume, without the right of reimbursement from the 
Government, the cost or expense of any use of the motor pool vehicles 
and services not related to the performance of the contract is 
necessary before the contracting officer may authorize cost-
reimbursement contractors to obtain interagency motor pool vehicles and 
related services.
    The information is used by the Government to determine that it is 
in the Government's best interest to authorize a cost-reimbursement 
contractor to obtain, for official purposes only, interagency motor 
pool vehicles and related services, and to provide those vehicles.
