7.2 Shipments Received Directly by Departments 

Administrative units to which equipment is delivered directly from the carrier to the administrative unit's facility (e.g., Agriculture Pavilion, Craft Center, etc.) shall notify the Property Officer of the arrival of the equipment in order to schedule a time for inventory of the equipment.
