For the purpose of evaluating bids and for no other purpose, the delivered price per unit will be determined by adding the nationwide average transportation charge to the f.o.b. origin bid prices.

Total the resulting weighted transportation charges for all destinations and divide the total by 20 to give the nationwide average transportation charge.
