TippHill Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Scenario: You are going to issue a contract for the overnight, world-wide delivery of toys by a sleigh pulled by reindeer. How do you formulate the contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsofacto Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The Contractor shall deliver diversionary contraptions and whirlygigs to locations specified in the Deliver Schedule. Specific items shall be definitized by end user in crayon. Consideration shall be provided in the form of milk and cookies at specified delivery locations.

Jamaal Valentine Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Just got off the line with Mr. Grinch 'who' agreed with Scrooge. The terms aren't performance based and won't receive clearance approval this year. Perhaps if we approach it as a supply versus a service and include FOB destination terms we can obscure the worldwide shipping cost and they'll approve.

ji20874 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 You do a public interest -7 exception to F&OC -- maybe DHL and FedEx and UPS could do the work, but the public interest is served by letting Santa keep the work regardless of anyone else's capabilities. This is exactly why the -7 exception exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napolik Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Bah! Humbug! Your automated procurement system will not generate a document in time. Call the toy provider to see if he/she will take an oral contract. If you haven't received the funding from the Comptroller, offer cookies and milk as consideration.

bob7947 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 1. Will Santa work under contract? Will the elves? Will Rudolph and his followers? 2. If so, what is the contracting activity? The World Trade Organization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaal Valentine Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 From Myra, but owns a vacation property in or around Finland? Sounds like business is booming and here I was thinking it was seasonal work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Culham Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 So I just want to know how the heck that there was only coal in my stocking this morning noting especially that the milk (spelled c-r-a-f-t b-e-e-r) and cookies had been consumed? Breach of contract as the delivery was supposed to be only for "toys"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
