U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 99. Contracts for supplies in advance of appropriations
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs is authorized to advertise in
the spring of each year for bids, and enter into contracts, subject
to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, for goods and
supplies for the Indian Service required for the ensuing fiscal
year, notwithstanding the fact that the appropriations for such
fiscal year have not been made, and the contracts so made shall be
on the basis of the appropriations for the preceding fiscal year,
and shall contain a clause that no deliveries shall be made under
the same and no liability attach to the United States in
consequence of such execution if Congress fails to make an
appropriation for such contract for the fiscal year for which those
supplies are required.
