Highlights
An advance decision was requested concerning a claim for reimbursement of a prompt-payment discount taken by the agency in payment of an invoice submitted by the contractor. The agency was negligent in not taking the discount when it attempted to effect payment, and the contractor was not responsible for the agency's failure to pay within the 20-day period. The claim should be paid to the contractor.
