             Subpart 101-26.3_Procurement of GSA Stock Items

 

Sec. 101-26.309  Cancellation of orders for GSA stock items.



    When an agency determines that material ordered from GSA is not 

required, GSA will accept requests for cancellation as long as the items 

ordered have not been shipped. However, since processing cancellations 

is costly and interferes with normal order processing, agencies are 

cautioned to use discretion in requesting cancellation of low dollar 

value orders. Cancellation of orders may be accomplished by agencies 

through written, telegraphic, or telephonic communication with the GSA 

regional office to which the order was sent. However, telephonic 

communication should be used whenever feasible to forestall shipment of 

material and subsequent billing by GSA. If material has been shipped, 

GSA will advise that cancellation cannot be effected and agency requests 

for return for credit will be processed under the provisions of 

Sec. Sec. 101-26.310 and 101-26.311.
