Risk Of Accepting Out-Of-Scope Task/Delivery Orders Gets Greater
Oct.07.2004
Adding to the risk of accepting out-of-scope work that potentially could result in avoidance of the contract order, the GSA debarring official has recently put the burden on the contractor to police the situation: "We cannot have a situation where a contractor knows or should have known that something is wrong and does not at least raise the issue with the contracting officer, or, if appropriate, higher authority. On a case-by-case basis, if we determine that a contractor has not followed the rules, we may take appropriate action in the context of contractor responsibility."
