A paper-supply contract isn't valid until the Joint Committee on Printing approves it. The contract must set a reasonable time to finish the work. The contractor must post a bond in an amount the Committee sets.
This section covers government contracts for furnishing paper.
A contract to supply paper isn't valid on its own. It only becomes valid once the Joint Committee on Printing approves it.
When the contract is awarded, it must designate a reasonable amount of time for the contractor to finish the work — the contract can't leave that open-ended.
The contractor also has to give a bond — a financial guarantee — in an amount that the Committee fixes and approves. This bond protects the government if the contractor doesn't perform as promised.
A contract for furnishing paper is not valid until approved by the Joint Committee on Printing. The award of a contract for furnishing paper shall designate a reasonable time for its performance. The contractor shall give bond in an amount fixed and approved by the Committee.
