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 fleet management system (IFMS) 
vehicles and related services. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
51.205 and the clause at FAR 52.251-2, Interagency Fleet Management 
System (IFMS) Vehicles and Related Services, are to be used in 
solicitations and contracts when a cost reimbursement contract is 
contemplated and the contracting officer may authorize the contractor 
to use IFMS vehicles and related services.

[[Page 52692]]

    Before a contracting officer may authorize cost-reimbursement 
contractors to obtain IFMS vehicles and related services, the 
contracting officer must have, among other requirements:
     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 IFMS vehicles and services not related to the 
performance of the contract;
     Evidence that the contractor has obtained motor vehicle 
liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage, with 
limits of liability as required or approved by the agency, protecting 
the contractor and the Government against third-party claims arising 
from the ownership, maintenance, or use of an IFMS vehicle; and
     Considered any recommendations of the contractor. The 
information is used by the Government to determine whether it is in the 
Government's best interest to authorize a cost-reimbursement 
contractor, for official purposes only, to use IFMS vehicles and 
related services.
    Authorized contractors shall submit requests for IFMS vehicles and 
related services in writing to the appropriate GSA point of contact in 
accordance with the FAR. Contractors' requests for vehicles or related 
services must include:
     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 or related services;
     A listing of equipment authorized to be serviced; and
     Billing instructions and address.
