In addition, if OPM material is lost, stolen, compromised or damaged during the deliveries due to unlock lockboxes or unsealed boxes; OPM has the right to seek monetary damages resulting from: the cost of recovery/replacement of OPM material, expense of OPM investigation, lawsuits against OPM due to compromised material, and damage to any government property.

The contractor must report findings of its investigation to OPM within 48 hours of the incident. The contractor and its personnel must fully cooperate with OPM s investigation.
