Navy declined ratification because it could not concur that sales price was a fair and reasonable price as required by regulations. Contractor may be paid on quantum valebat basis because supplies constituted a permissible procurement, Government received and accepted benefit, and the contractor acted in good faith. However, recovery is limited to amount Navy determined supplies would have cost had proper competitive procurement procedures been followed. DECISION The Commanding Officer, Fleet Accounting and Disbursing Center, U.S. Pacific Fleet, via the Commander, Navy Account- ing and Finance Center, requested our decision on whether the Navy may pay the Hocking International Chemical Corporation (Hocking) for products delivered to the USS Schenectady, and if so, the proper amount of that payment. As explained below, we conclude that payment to Hocking is authorized in the amount of $124.12. BACKGROUND On July 1, 1985, sales personnel from the Hocking Company called upon the USS Schenectady, then docked in San Diego, and spoke with a Lt. Cdr. Feinberg. Lt. Cdr. Feinberg approved five of the chemical supplies offered by Hocking and placed an order for them. On July 10, the supplies were delivered and Lt. Cdr. Feinberg gave Hocking a requisition number. The ship's personnel used the supplies. On the delivery date, Hocking billed the USS Schenectady for the supplies in the amount of $344.15. 03eBF,3
