11. REJECTION, FINAL ACCEPTANCE & PAYMENT OF COMMODITIES: Commodities

received by the Commonwealth shall be deemed acceptable until the State

has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect the commodities. Any

commodity which is discovered to be defective or fails to conform to the

ascertainable upon the initial inspection. It shall, thereupon, become

the duty of the vendor to remove the rejected commodities from the

premises without expense to the Commonwealth within five business days

after phone notification followed by the faxing of the

Complaint/Rejection Form 516-C. Rejected items left longer that 5

business days will be regarded as abandoned and the State shall have the

right to dispose of them as its own property. The vendor shall

immediately replace all such rejected items with product conforming to

the specifications. Non-compliance will result in further action unless

prior approval is obtained from the Director of Dietetic Services. If

the vendor fails, neglects or refuses to do so, the Commonwealth shall

then have the right to purchase on the open market and charge the

defaulting vendor any increase in price plus $100.00 for liquidated

damages. Partial or late deliveries or incorrect items may be rejected

and any difference in price for repurchase will be charged to the

defaulting vendor, plus $100.00 for liquidated damages. No further

awards will be made to any firm with an unpaid surcharge/liquidation

assessment or laboratory bill.

The Commonwealth will accept and pay only for actual net weight or count

determined at the time of delivery. Any discrepancy between actual net

weight or count and the weight or count indicated by the vendor will be

recorded on the delivery slips. Payments will be made upon receipt of

invoices after commodities have been delivered and accepted.

12. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITIES – The vendor assumes responsibility over

products supplied under the contract. This includes the provision of

properly labeled and identified products. Alterations to brands and

codes must be brought to the attention of the Dietary Management

Service Specialist as soon as possible. When pack size changes from

cost/unit. Vendor must specify new pack size, count and weight/case.

It is the responsibility of the distributor/bidder to forward this

information on pack changes to the Dietary Management Service

Specialist (see Acceptable Brands section of special instructions and

conditions). Failure to forward information regarding changes may

result in removal of products from the acceptable brand list.
