PART 8_REQUIRED SOURCES OF SUPPLIES AND SERVICES--Table of Contents
 
Subpart 8.7_Acquisition From Nonprofit Agencies Employing People Who Are 
                       Blind or Severely Disabled
 
Sec.  8.705-4  Compliance with orders.

    (a) The central nonprofit agency shall inform the ordering office of 
changes in lead time experienced by its JWOD participating nonprofit 
agencies to minimize requests for extensions once the ordering office 
places an order.
    (b) The ordering office shall grant a request by a central nonprofit 
agency or JWOD participating nonprofit agency for revision in the 
delivery or completion schedule, if feasible. If extension of the 
delivery or completion date is not feasible, the ordering office shall 
notify the appropriate central nonprofit agency and request that it 
reallocate the order, or grant a purchase exception authorizing 
acquisition from commercial sources.
    (c) When a JWOD participating nonprofit agency fails to perform 
under the terms of an order, the ordering office shall make every effort 
to resolve the noncompliance with the nonprofit agency involved and to 
negotiate an adjustment before taking action to cancel the order. If the 
problem cannot be resolved with the nonprofit agency, the ordering 
office shall refer the matter for resolution first to the central 
nonprofit agency and then, if necessary, to the Committee.
    (d) When, after complying with 8.705-4(c), the ordering office 
determines that it must cancel an order, it shall notify the central 
nonprofit agency and, if practical, request a reallocation of the order. 
When the central nonprofit agency cannot reallocate the order, it shall 
grant a purchase exception permitting use of commercial sources, subject 
to approval by the Committee when the value of the purchase exception is 
$25,000 or more.
