F-104  Application.

(a)  DD Form 250.

(1)  Use the DD Form 250 for delivery of contract line, subline, exhibit line, or exhibit subline items. Do not use the DD Form 250 for those exhibit line or exhibit subline items on a DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List, that indicate no DD Form 250 is required.

(2)  If the shipped to, marked for, shipped from, mode of shipment, contract quality assurance and acceptance data are the same for more than one shipment made on the same day under the same contract, contractors may prepare one MIRR to cover all such shipments.

(3)  If the volume of the shipment precludes the use of a single car, truck, or other vehicle, prepare a separate MIRR for the contents of each vehicle.

(4)  When a shipment is consigned to an Air Force activity and the shipment includes items of more than one federal supply class (FSC) or material management code (MMC), prepare a separate DD Form 250 for items of each of the FSCs or MMCs in the shipment. However, the cognizant Government representative may authorize a single DD Form 250, listing each of the FSCs or MMCs included in the shipment on a separate continuation sheet. The MMC appears as a suffix to the national stock number applicable to the item.

(5)  Consolidation of Petroleum Shipments on a Single MIRR.

(i)  Contiguous United States. Contractors may consolidate multiple car or truck load shipments of petroleum made on the same day, to the same destination, against the same contract line item, on one MIRR. To permit verification of motor deliveries, assign each load a load number which can be identified to the shipment number in Block 2 of the DD Form 250. Include a shipping document (commercial or government) with each individual load showing as a minimum-

(A)  The shipper;

(B)  Shipping point;

(C)  Consignee;

(D)  Contract and line item number;

(E)  Product identification;

(F)  Gross gallons (bulk only);

(G)  Loading temperature (bulk only);

(H)  American Petroleum Institute gravity (bulk only);

(I)  Identification of carrier's equipment;

(J)  Serial number of all seals applied; and

(K)  Signature of supplier's representative.

When acceptance is at destination, the receiving activity retains the shipping document(s) to verify the entries on the consignee copy of the DD Form 250 forwarded by the contractor (reference F-401, Table 1) before signing Block 21b.

(ii)  Overseas. The same criteria as for contiguous United States applies, except the consolidation period may be extended, if acceptable to the receiving activity, shipping activity, Government finance office, and the authorized Government representative having cognizance at the contractor's facility. In addition, the contractor may include more than one contract line item in each DD Form 250 if the shipped to, marked for, shipped from, mode of shipment, contract quality assurance, and acceptance data are the same for all line items.

(6)  Consolidation of Coal Shipments on a Single MIRR. Contractors may consolidate multiple railcar or truck shipments of coal made on the same day, to the same destination, against the same contract line items, on one MIRR. To permit verification of truck deliveries, assign each load a load number which can be identified to the shipment number in Block 2 of the DD Form 250 and the analytical test report. Include a commercial shipping document with each individual truck load showing as a minimum-

(i)  The shipper;

(ii)  The name or names;

(iii)  Location and shipping point of the mine or mines from which the coal originates;

(iv)  The contract number;

(v)  The exact size of the coal shipped; and

(vi)  A certified weighmaster's certification of weight for the truckload.

Include a waybill with each rail shipment showing the identical information. To permit verification of rail deliveries, identify each railcar number comprising the shipment to the shipment number in Block 2 of the DD Form 250 and the analytical test report. When acceptance is at destination, the receiving activity must retain the shipping document(s) to verify the entries on the consignee copy of the DD Form 250.

(b)  DD Form 250-1.

(1)  Use a separate form for each tanker or barge cargo loaded.

(2)  The contractor may report more than one barge in the same tow on a single form if on the same contract and consigned to the same destination.

(3)  When liftings involve more than one contract, prepare separate forms to cover the portion of cargo loaded on each contract.

(4)  Prepare a separate form for each product or grade of product loaded.

(5)  Use a separate document for each tanker or barge cargo and each grade of product discharged.

(6)  For discharge, the contractor may report more than one barge in the same tow on a single form if from the same loading source.
