This is just a reminder that the standard mileage rates for 2016 have dropped to $0.54 per mile from last year's $0.575 per mile. The 2016 is the same whether contractors are following the GSA (General Services Administration) benchmark or the IRS benchmark. Both are set at $0.54 per mile. That has not always been the case however. There have been situations where the rates are slightly different.
FAR does not specify that contractors follow a particular guideline - only that costs (reimbursements) be reasonable. For convenience and because no auditor will question the rate, contractors usually choose one or the other.
