Under my sub contract, I was required to be approved by the awarding General Contractor of my SBE status. Our contract provided a schedule which required me to order material that was job specific and a specialty to meet the project schedule. To ensure I met this requirement, I purchase the material and the schedule for my installation has been extended. The GC has informed me under FARR 52.232-5(b) “The first and hardest to overcome is that the contract must specifically authorize the consideration of the materials in question to be delivered off-site. This authorized consideration does not exist in this contract”.
We have completed all required paper work for Bill of sale, but we are getting grief from the Awarding party. It was my understanding that under the prompt pay agreement, if you provided all necessary required documents, an SBE would paid for Stored material.
Can some one elaborate on this subject?
