BOP Program Statement 8536.01 § 7

related transportation services (e.g., packing, storage) may be

ordered with a bill of lading, or if needed for international

shipments, a GBL.

a. For domestic shipments, locations may use the TSP’s

commercial bill of lading or a locally designed bill of lading.

The Standard GBL is to be used for other than domestic

shipments. In addition to the standard information, the

following must be included on any bill of lading FPI uses:

PS 8536.01

7/31/2003

Page 5

— A statement referencing the appropriate governing

regulations, i.e.:

“This government shipment is subject to the terms and

conditions of 41 CFR 102-117 and 41 CFR 102-118.”

— The appropriate GSA tender number and corresponding

estimated price. If the GSA STOS is not being used,

then the appropriate contract number must be included

on the bill of lading.

— FPI’s reference (control) number.

Each location is to use a unique sequential number, in the

following format:

' Characters 1 through 3 denote the letters FPI,

' Characters 4 through 5 denote the fiscal year,

' Characters 6 through 11 denote the numerical

sequence,

' Characters 12 through 15 denote the location and

factory symbol (i.e., FPI02000001ASFT).

At the beginning of a fiscal year, the numerical sequence

starts over at 000001.

Locations are to phase out use of the block of numbers

obtained from GSA Ft Worth.

b. Unless waived by the GSA, commercial carriers are required

to submit bills for freight and express transportation using the

Public Voucher for Transportation Charges (SF-1113). (Shipments

for express, courier, or small package shipments moving on a

commercial bill of lading are not billed on SF-1113s.)

— This form is to be accompanied by a copy of the

commercial bill of lading or, in the case of non-domestic shipments, the original GBL.
