Performance under Federal Supply Schedule contracts. (a) Supervision. While the General Services Administration (GSA) awards and exercises general supervision over its contracts, it is the responsibility of agencies whose requirements are included in the contracts to place orders with contractors, make payment, and in the first instance, determine whether performance meets the contract terms. Agencies whose orders are accepted by the contractor pursuant to the optional use provisions have like responsibilities. Subject to the provisions of the contracts and the conditions stated in this part, ordering offices will deal directly with contractors concerning their performance, and may accept or reject the supplies or services.

(b) Inspection. Arranging for inspection of supplies delivered or services performed by a contractor will be the responsibility of the ordering office.

If

inspection assistance is desired by the ordering office, the nearest GSA regional office will be contacted. The GSA regional office executing the contract will be notified of all significant instances where defective articles and services are received by an ordering office.
