Acceptance for Interest Purposes. For the sole purpose of computing an interest penalty that might be due the vendor, Government acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred constructively on the 15th day (unless otherwise specified in the contract) after the vendor delivered the supplies or performed the services in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract, unless there is a disagreement over quantity, quality, or vendor compliance with a contract provision. In the event that actual acceptance occurs within the constructive acceptance period, the determination of an interest penalty shall be based on the actual date of acceptance. The constructive acceptance requirement does not, however, compel Government officials to accept supplies or services, perform contract administration functions, or make payment prior to fulfilling their responsibilities.
