CONUS-OCONUS
Continental/Outside Continental U.S.
Definition
CONUS-OCONUS distinguishes between locations within the Continental United States and those outside it. This geographic distinction affects contract pricing, logistics, personnel requirements, and regulatory compliance for contracts with work in multiple locations.
OCONUS locations often involve additional costs for travel, shipping, personnel support, and compliance with host nation requirements. Understanding CONUS-OCONUS distinctions helps contractors develop accurate pricing and appropriate performance approaches for geographically dispersed contracts. OCONUS work may require specific security considerations and Status of Forces Agreement compliance.
