45.104  Review and correction of contractors' property control systems.



    (a) The review and approval of a contractor's property control 

system shall be accomplished by the agency responsible for contract 

administration at a contractor's plant or installation. The review and 

approval of a contractor's property control system by one agency shall 

be binding on all other departments and agencies based on interagency 

agreements.

    (b) The contracting officer or the representative assigned the 

responsibility as property administrator shall review contractors' 

property control systems to assure compliance with the Government 

property clauses of the contract.

    (c) The property administrator shall notify the contractor in 

writing when its property control system does not comply with subpart 

45.5 or other contract requirements and shall request prompt correction 

of deficiencies. If the contractor does not correct the deficiencies 

within a reasonable period, the property administrator shall request 

action by the contracting officer administering the contract. The 

contracting officer shall--

    (1) Notify the contractor in writing of any required corrections and 

establish a schedule for completion of actions;

    (2) Caution the contractor that failure to take the required 

corrective actions within the time specified will result in withholding 

or withdrawing system approval; and

    (3) Advise the contractor that its liability for loss of or damage 

to Government property may increase if approval is withheld or 

withdrawn.
