in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Carriers may move property or people for the U.S. Government for free or at a reduced rate. A separate law about competitive government contracting doesn't apply if a carrier already working in that area can do the job.

A carrier providing service for the U.S. Government may transport property or people for the government without charging anything, or at a rate lower than its normal commercial rate. Section 6101(b) through (d) of title 41 — a law about how the government buys transportation — doesn't apply here, as long as the government can get the transportation from a carrier that's already lawfully operating in the area where the transportation would happen.
