handle is hein.gao/gaobadnlq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Consolidated Freightways, Inc. - Minimum Charge Matter of: Applicability File: B-230345 Date: June 2, 1989 DIGEST A carrier disputes the General Services Administration's deduction action with respect to four shipments of class C explosives. The carrier's Freight All Kinds tender refers specifically to a minimum charqe as a percentage of a charge stated in one tariff and also states that the tender is governed by a rules tariff which contains a higher minimum- charge basis applicable to class C explosives. The minimum charge specifically referred to by the tender is applicable to shipments thereunder, rather than the minimum charge arrived at indirectly through the rules tariff reference. Thus, GSA's action is sustained. DECISION Consolidated Freightways, Inc. (Consolidated) requested the Comptroller General to review deduction action taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) to recover transportation overcharges. We sustain GSA's actions. BACKGROUND Consolidated's Tender 1075-F, offering reduced rates to the United States for the transportation of Freight All Kinds, is an example of the rate tenders that applied to four relatively small government shipments of class C explosives.l/ GSA's deduction action was based on the minimum-charge provision referred to specifically in Appendix A of the tender, which states that: 1/ Three tenders are involved. The covering Government Bills of Lading are S-6053143, S-6175653, S-6431208, and S-8015680.
