             CHAPTER 7--AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

 

PART 750_EXTRAORDINARY CONTRACTUAL ACTIONS--Table of Contents

 

  Subpart 750.71_Extraordinary Contractual Actions To Protect Foreign 

                  Policy Interests of the United States

 

Sec. 750.7106-4  Informal commitments.



    Informal commitments may be formalized under certain circumstances 

to permit payment to persons who have taken action without a formal 

contract; for example, where any person, pursuant to written or oral 

instructions from an officer or official of the Agency and relying in 

good faith upon the apparent authority of the officer or official to 

issue such instructions, has arranged to furnish or has furnished 

property or services to the agency and/or to a foreign assistance 

contractor or subcontractor without formal contractual coverage for such 

property or services. Formalization of commitments under such 

circumstances normally will protect the foreign policy interests of the 

United States by assuring persons that they will be treated fairly and 

paid expeditiously.
