Highlights

A freight forwarder requested review of notices of overcharges sent by the General Services Administration (GSA). The forwarder had submitted rate tenders containing conditions that tenders may be canceled or modified by written notice and contended that offers in certain tenders were revoked. The tenders are continuing offers to perform transportation services for stated prices. They are effective until withdrawn by a communication which expressly or by implication notifies the offeree that the offeror no longer intends to perform. The forwarder's attempt to revoke one tender was not effective until it was communicated by GSA to Headquarters, Military Traffic Management and Terminal Service. It was successful in revoking other tenders.
