B. Needs and Uses

    The Government is required to provide, in solicitations, a complete 
description of the supplies to be acquired and the packing requirements 
to determine transportation (freight rate) charges for the evaluation 
of offers. Generally, the freight rate for supplies is based on the 
ratings applicable to the freight classification description published 
in the National Motor Freight Classification (for carriers) and the 
Uniform Freight Classification (for rail) filed with Federal and State 
regulatory bodies.
    When the Government purchases supplies that are new to the supply 
system, nonstandard, or modifications of previously shipped supplies, 
and different freight classifications may apply, per FAR clause 52.247-
53, offerors are requested to indicate the full Uniform Freight 
Classification or National Motor Freight Classification description 
applicable to the supplies. The Government will use these descriptions 
as well as other information available to determine the classification 
description most appropriate and advantageous to the government.
