[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 41, Volume 2] [Revised as of July 1, 2002] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 41CFR101-20.106-2] [Page 206-207] TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CHAPTER 101--FEDERAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS PART 101-20--MANAGEMENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS--Table of Contents Subpart 101-20.1--Building Operations, Maintenance, Protection, and Alterations Sec. 101-20.106-2 Limitations on provision of reimbursable services by GSA. In order to reduce processing costs of documents and to improve efficiency of service delivery, requests for reimbursable work to be performed or arranged by GSA may be subject to the following requirements: (a) Individual work authorizations (e.g., GSA Form 2957's) for which total expenses as estimated by GSA are less than $500 need not be processed by GSA, but may be returned to the requesting agency. Unless the work is related to security or required to correct an unhealthful or unsafe condition, occupant agencies may be required to hold all such requests until the reimbursable work in question can be aggregated into a single request for at least $500. (b) The restrictions of paragraph (a) of this section are not mandatory, but may be applied by GSA when their application is in the best interests of the Government from the standpoint of cost effectiveness. (c) The restrictions of paragraph (a) of this section do not apply to orders placed against existing blanket or open-end authorizations which exceed $500 and which show obligated and unused fund balances sufficient to perform the work. (d) Agencies requesting reimbursable services are responsible for verifying and approving GSA estimates within 30 calendar days following submission of [[Page 207]] such estimates to the requester. Reimbursable work requests for which estimates have not been approved within 30 days will be canceled.
