DECISION
FILE: B-182081
~ THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
I. 1J~.OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON_ ,D.C. 20546
DATE: FEB 14 1979
MATTER OF: Payment for Government Printing Office Services]
to Defunct National Commission on tate Workmen's
Compensation Laws X6/&- 06
DIGEST:
1. Decision B-182081, January 26, 1977, holding that General
Services Administration may not pay Government Printing
Office for services ordered by former employee of National
Commission on State Workmen's Compensation Laws after
Commission expired, is affirmed. GSA is not successor
agency to Commission and cannot be regarded as having
benefited from GPO's services. GSAsrole is limited to
housekeeping duties set forth in Economy Act agreement
with defunct Commission which duties are performed in
furtherance of its own mission.
2. Printing serviceswere not ordered prior to expiration of
National Commission on State Workmen's Compensation Laws.
Therefore no Commission appropriation was obligated for these
services. All unobligated balance of the Commission's
appropriations lapsed at the termination of the Commission.
Thus there are no funds available to pay for the printing
services. Decision B-182081, January 26, 1977, is affirmed.
The Public Printer, United States Government Printine Of fice -
(GPO), has asked, in efTect, that we reconsider our Decision B-182081,
January 26, 1977, holding that the General Services Administration
(GSA) was not authorized to pay for printing services rendered on
behalf of the now defunct National Commission on State Workmen's
Compensation Laws, because no valid obligation for printing services
had been incurred during the existence of the Commission.
In requesting that we allow payment, despite the lack of a
valid obligation, the Public Printer states:
A product was made, delivered, accepted, and
used by the organization or its successor; and while
the formal contract may be invalid, it would seem](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadgxy0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
