Hence, a supplier of goods ordered by the government must show that the goods were received by the government before his claim for payment may be allowed. DEC IS ION This is in response to a request from the Navy Regional Finance Center (Navy), Washington, D.C., for an advance decision on a doubtful claim submitted by Reflectone Inc.
