P3 DIGEST: Prompt payment discounts were properly taken by agency where payment was made within 20 days of date that assignment of contract proceeds was legally effect- uated; delay in perfecting assignment is responsibility of assignee who has legal obligation to fulfill applicable statutory filing requirements. Complex Industries & Associates, Inc. (Complex), formerly What-Mac Contractors, Inc., requests review of a sett ement by our Claims Division disallowing Complex's claim for reimbursement of prompt payment 22'discounts otaling $11,462.73 taken by the Department of the Navy under contract No. N00612-79-D-7001. The contract, for escort/guard services, contains a provision permitting a five percent, 20-day prompt payment discount. Invoices for services performed were to be sent to the contracting officer for approv- al before-being sent to the disbursing officer for payment. On November 28; 1978, the contracting officer signed a form, later sent to the assignee, acknowl- edging receipt of a notice of assignment together with a true copy of the instrument of assignment. However, from the record before us, it is unclear whether the contracting officer actually received a true copy of the instrument of assignment. This form was mailed to the assignee along with a letter dated December 1, 1978, which states only that the enclosure acknowledges receipt of a copy of the notice of assignment, and that two copies of the notice have been forwarded to the disbursing officer.
