in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A pipeline company can move property for the U.S. government for free or at a lower rate. A separate contracting law does not apply if a legal carrier already serves that area.

A pipeline carrier that serves the United States Government may carry government property for free, or at a rate lower than what it normally charges. A different law, section 6101(b) through (d) of title 41, normally requires competitive bidding for government transportation contracts. That law does not apply here if a carrier already operates lawfully in the area where the transportation would happen.
