TITLE 41 PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

CHAPTER 51

COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM PEOPLE
 WHO ARE BLIND OR SEVERELY DISABLED

Sec. 51 5.6  Shipping.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section for commodities other than military resale commodities, delivery is accomplished when a shipment is placed aboard the vehicle of the initial carrier. Time of delivery is when the shipment is released to and accepted by the initial carrier.

    (b) Method of transportation to destination shall normally be by Government bills of lading although the contracting activity may designate another method of transportation on its order, in accordance with Committee procedures. Government bills of lading may accompany orders or be otherwise furnished, but shall be supplied promptly. If the contracting activity fails to designate a method of transportation or furnish a Government bill of lading promptly, it shall constitute an excusable cause for delay in delivery.

    (c) The Committee may determine that for certain commodity orders, delivery is accomplished when the shipment is delivered to the purchaser's facility (plant, warehouse, store, lot, or other location to which shipment can be made). Time of delivery for these orders is when the shipment is released by the carrier and accepted by the purchaser. Under this method of transportation, the nonprofit agency will normally ship by commercial bills of lading and will be responsible for any loss or damage to the goods occurring before receipt of the shipment at the delivery point specified. The nonprofit agency will prepare and distribute commercial bills of lading, furnish a delivery schedule and designate the mode of delivering carrier, and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.
