What is the payment term/ how does the payment processing work upon receipt of the award?

The Payment term we will defer this to be answered by the contracting Officer. How does the payment processing work upon receipt of the award? The Contractor shall invoice the Government upon receipt of delivery through a system called Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). The amount should match the awarded Contract Line-Item number (CLIN) on the approved awarded contract. This is routed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Office to be reviewed and processed to the vendor. Wide Area Workflow instructions will be provided on the awarded contract. In order to use WAWF, a vendor must have a designated electronic business point of contact in the System for Award Management at http:www.sam.gov. Also, be registered to use WAWF at https://wawf.eb.mil/. On that site vendor can follow the step-by step procedures for self-registration.

Would the following specs be acceptable: Depth 38" Not 40" Width 26" not 28" Discharge Time 54 sec Not 48 sec.

The intent is for us to be in compliance with Military Regulation AR 420-1. Large Helicopters (CH-47 or equivalent) requires a 125-pounds BC, wheeled dry chemical or equivalent, fire extinguisher. The Depth and Width and discharge can slightly differ as long as the fire extinguishers can hold 125-pounds BC and no less.
