Your agency orders:

(a) Transportation of freight and household goods and related transportation services (e.g., packaging, storage) with a Government contractor issued charge card, purchase order (or electronic equivalent), or a bill of lading including a Government bill of lading. In extremely limited cases, cash can be used where government payment mechanisms are not available or acceptable.

(b) Transportation of people through the purchase of transportation tickets with a Government contractor issued charge card, centrally billed travel account, personal charge/credit card, cash (in accordance with Department of the Treasury regulations), or in limited prescribed situations, a Government Transportation Request (GTR).
