§ 101-40.704-2 - Transportation for account of the supplier.

When the transportation is performed by the carrier for the supplier rather than for the Government (e.g., when property is purchased f.o.b. destination), accurate notations of discrepancies shall be made on the carrier's delivery receipt and the consignee's copy of the carrier's delivery receipt or freight bill to assist the supplier in filing claims for transportation losses. The carrier's driver or representative shall be requested to sign the notations of discrepancies. Prompt notification on SF 361 shall be furnished to the supplier or to the agency contracting officer as individual agency regulations may provide. The notification shall include supporting documents; i.e., a copy of the annotated delivery receipt, photos, carrier's inspection report, or written waiver. (See Discrepancies or Deficiencies in GSA or DOD Shipments, Material, or Billings (FPMR 101-26.8) with regard to damage to stock or nonstock items procured from GSA for direct delivery.)
