    GSA will provide notice to the offering activity of an acceptance/

rejection decision for an offer and verification of material receipt for 

accepted offers.

    (a) Within 20 workdays after receipt of an offer to return material, 

GSA will notify the offering activity of acceptance or rejection of the 

offer.

    (1) For accepted offers, GSA will inform the offering activity of 

the GSA material return facility (storage activity) to which the 

material shall be

shipped. Prior to shipment of the material authorized by GSA for return, 

activities shall verify the declared condition. (If the offering 

activity considers that the transportation costs of sending the material 

to the GSA material return facility are excessive in relation to the 

value of the material and withdraws the offers, the GSA region that was 

designated to receive the offered material shall be notified 

accordingly.)

    (2) For rejected offers, GSA will so inform the activity offering 

the material and give the reason for nonacceptance.

    (b) Upon receipt of material authorized for return by GSA, the 

offering activity will be provided verification of receipt and a report 

of any discrepancies. When the discrepant condition is attributable to 

carrier negligence, subsequent credit allowed by GSA will be reduced by 

the amount to be paid the agency by the carrier for any damages 

incurred. A notice of credit will be provided the offering activity 

through credit entries on the monthly billing statement from the 

supporting GSA finance center.

    (c) When offers of material that have been authorized by GSA for 

return are withdrawn, offering activities shall report such cancellation 

to the GSA region that was designated to receive the offered material.
