GSA Form 308: Notice of Inspection
GSA Form 308, Notice of Inspection, is a General Services Administration form. The footer reads GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION and GSA 308 (REV. 2/2015), and the form prints OMB Control Number 3090-0027 with an expiration date of 1/31/2028. GSA hosts it in its forms library, and its page lists the authority or regulation as GSAM 552.246-71.
Its text says it notifies the contractor that the material described has been inspected and is released for shipment, accepted and released for shipment, rejected, authorized for standby stock, or accepted as a preproduction sample. It records the region and place of inspection, the contractor and subcontractor, contract, order and requisition numbers, the commodity and the shipment, and it is signed by a Government Representative.
The PDF prints the same page seven times, one for each labeled copy, and says all required copies of the form must be legible. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
