§ 101-41.007 - EDI policy.

When mutually agreeable to the procuring agency and the participating carrier, authorization is granted to use EDI for the procurement of transportation services, provided that there are sufficient procedures to safeguard the integrity of the billing and payment process. An authenticating signature will be used in each transaction as the equivalent of a signature to certify receipt, delivery of goods, and that the bill accurately reflects the services provided and that the carrier charged the lowest charges available for the service. Each carrier must also provide a sec. 10721 quotation or present a unilateral ordering agreement to GSA or other agency of the Government that is establishing an EDI program, binding the carrier to all the requirements of part 101-41 with the exception of the forms being used. EDI standards are prescribed in § 101-41.104.
