2913.503-70 - Duplicate purchase orders.


If the vendor reports non-receipt, loss or other inability to locate an original purchase order and requests another copy, the purchasing officer may issue to the vendor a duplicate copy as the vendor's basis of performance. This second issue should be conspicuously marked ``Duplicate Copy.'' To avoid the possibility of a duplicate shipment, a letter of transmittal or a notation on the purchase order should read as follows:

This is a duplicate copy of the lost original purchase order, furnished in accordance with your request of _____ (Date). The Government will not be responsible for duplicate shipment.
