45.605-2  Return to suppliers.

    The plant clearance officer shall encourage contractors to return 
allocable quantities of contractor-acquired property to suppliers for 
full credit less either the supplier's normal restocking charge or 25 
percent of the cost, whichever is less. Contractors may be reimbursed 
for reasonable transportation, handling, and restocking charges, but not 
for the cost of the returned property. Under cost-reimbursement 
contracts, appropriate adjustments shall be made for costs previously 
reimbursed. A contractor's property control system shall include 
procedures to ensure property is returned to the supplier for 
appropriate credit whenever feasible.
