Sec. 8.705-3  Allocation process.



    (a) When the direct order process has not been authorized, the 

ordering office shall submit a written request for allocation 

(requesting the designation of the JWOD participating nonprofit agency 

to produce the supplies or perform the service) to the central nonprofit 

agency designated in the Procurement List. Ordering offices shall 

request allocations in sufficient time for a reply, for orders to be 

placed, and for the nonprofit agency to produce the supplies or provide 

the service within the required delivery or performance 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, 

quantity, unit price, date delivery is required, and destination to 

which delivery is to be made.

    (2) For services--Type and location of service required, latest 

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.
