schedule.
    (b) The ordering office's request to the central nonprofit agency 
for allocation shall include the following information:
    (1) For supplies--Item name, stock number, latest specification,

which delivery is to be made.

specification, work to be performed, estimated volume, and required date 
or dates for completion.
    (3) Other requirements; e.g., packing, marking, as necessary.
    (c) When an allocation is received, the ordering office shall 
promptly issue an order to the specified JWOD participating nonprofit 
agency or to the central nonprofit agency, as instructed by the 
allocation. If the issuance of an order is to be delayed for more than 
15 days beyond receipt of the allocation, or canceled, the ordering 
office shall advise the central nonprofit agency immediately.
    (d) Ordering offices may issue orders without limitation as to 
dollar amount and shall record them upon issuance as obligations. Each 
order shall include, as a minimum, the information contained in the 
request for allocation. Ordering offices shall also include additional 
instructions necessary for performance under the order; e.g., on the 
handling of Government-furnished property, reports required, and 
notification of shipment.
