 MATTER   OF:       Cashman Equipment Company; Motor Rim & Wheel
                 Service; J. A. Sexauer Mfg., Inc.            (q

 DIGEST:

     Where it is administratively determined that
     contractors provided agency with goods and services,
     Government received benefit, and any unauthorized
     action was ratified by Government, invoices may be
     paid on quantum valebant and quantum meruit basis.


     The Accounting and Finance Center Officer, Naval Air Station,
Fallon, Nevada (Fallon), has requested a decision as to whether
three invoices (Nos. N60495-73F-0801, N60495-73M-0555, N60495-74M-
0474), submitted by Cashman Equipment Company, Motor Rim & Wheel
Service and J. A. Sexauer Mfg., Inc., respectively, may be paid.
The record discloses the following concerning the claim of the
individual companies.

     The claim of Cashman Equipment Company (Cashman) involves
two invoices.  The first invoice of $11.25 is for payment of repair
manuals which were ordered, along with certain equipment, but
were inadvertently not priced on the requisition and invoice. The
manuals were received and accepted. However, the contract was not
modified to reflect the price charge for the manuals. The second
invoice ($45.00) is for repair of a turbo-charger delivered to the
company for repair by an authorized Navy driver. The item was
repaired and returned to Fallon. No payment documents were processed.
The total amount of the claim by Cashman is $56.25.

     Fallon ordered eight P/N B1820A dust shields from Motor Rim
& Wheel Service.  However, only six were received as noted on the
invoice.  The bill was processed and paid. Subsequently, four
more dust shields were received and accepted by Fallon. The contract
was not modified to authorize payment for the two additional dust
covers.  The dealer's claim is for $13.29.
