H.  Contractor Use of Government Supply Sources

Comment: One respondent recommended revising the second sentence of the clause at FAR 52.251-1, Government Supply Sources, to state that title to such purchases vested in the Government "except when the transaction is based upon a cash sale to the Contractor."

Response: There is no need to make distinctions in title vesting in this clause as long as the clause contains the phrase "unless otherwise specified in the contract." Every contract must contain a payment clause, and it is the payment clause that determines when, and with whom, title vests.
