§ 101-40.707-1 - 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 the property is purchased f.o.b. destination), determination of liability for discrepancies in shipment will be resolved between the carrier and the supplier. However, in such instances the Government receiving activity shall make accurate notations of discrepancies on the carrier's delivery receipt or freight bill, and shall use SF 361 to furnish a report of the discrepancies to the supplier, or to the agency contracting officer as individual agency regulations may provide, to assist the supplier in resolving the discrepancies. The report shall include supporting documents; i.e., a copy of the annotated delivery receipt, photos, inspection report, or written waiver.
