§ 101-40.204 - Carrier selection and distribution of shipments.

A cost comparison, furnished to the requesting agency, will contain the names and point of contact for at least 10 eligible carriers on interstate traffic and up to 5 eligible carriers on intrastate traffic. Eligible carriers are those carriers which meet minimum service criteria established by GSA. Additionally, eligible carriers will be evaluated and ranked on the cost comparison (see § 101-40.203-4) based on completed GSA Forms 3080, Household Goods Carrier Evaluation Report (see § 101-40.205), submitted to GSA by Federal employees. Agencies authorizing the GBL method shall select the eligible carrier that meets the agency's service requirements and offers the lowest cost consistent therewith. Deviations from this methodology shall be documented in the requesting agency's records.
