Casey Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 DPAS rate contracts require signature acceptance/acknowledgement on PO's. For low dollar commercial items from larger manufactures/distributors, how do you get this signature? Say we needed to purchase a box of screws from Home Depot. How do we get the necessary signature?

ji20874 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Are you talking about 15 CFR 700.13(d)(1)? Here is that text-- (d) Customer notification requirements. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (d)(2) of this section, a person must accept or reject a rated order in writing (hard copy), or in electronic format, within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of a DO rated order and within ten (10) working days after receipt of a DX rated order. If the order is rejected, the person must give reasons in writing or electronically for the rejection. If Home Depot already delivered the box of screws before the 15 or 10 working day deadline, then you do not need a paper acceptance. If you are requiring a paper acceptance in such a case, you are reading the regulation without common sense. Regardless, you (if you are a contracting officer) don't need to enforce the rules -- the Department of Commerce enforces the rules. You may report Home Depot's failure to the Commerce Department and let them handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
