This process produces the documentation for the act of assuming ownership of legal title and accountability of goods tendered and services rendered, excluding Real Property Placed in Service Notification. This serves as proof that the deliverables received or services rendered have been provided fulfilling specified terms and conditions against the previously agreed upon obligating document, contract, and/or intragovernmental order between the supplier and the buyer. For intragovernmental orders, acceptance is deemed to occur constructively, unless otherwise denoted in the order, on the 7th calendar day after the Government buyer receives delivery of supplies or performance of services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the order, unless there is a disagreement over quantity, quality, or compliance with other terms and conditions of the order. The trading partners may specify a longer period for constructive acceptance in the solicitation and resulting order, if required, but must document in the file the justification for extending the constructive acceptance period beyond 7 days. Constructive acceptance for intragovernmental orders will trigger the payment process. |
