Abstract: General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) clause 552.211-77, Packing List, and its Alternate I are needed to facilitate administration of Supply contracts when orders for supplies are paid by Government commercial credit card. The clause lists the minimum requirements for packing lists or other suitable shipping documents when supplies are purchased to verify placement of an order and identify the items shipped. Providing this shipping information is a normal commercial practice. The GSAR clause requires three (3) items that are not typically required in commercial packing lists when purchased with a Government commercial credit card: cardholder name, telephone number and the term “Credit Card.” The additional identification is needed to verify receipt and to release payment to the contractor.
