As used below: Contract financing payment and invoice payment are defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 32.001. Electronic form means an automated system that transmits information electronically from the initiating system to all affected systems. Facsimile, email, and scanned documents are not acceptable electronic forms for submission of payment requests. However, scanned documents are acceptable when they are part of a submission of a payment request made using Invoice Processing Platform or another electronic form authorized by the Contracting Officer. Payment request means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment submitted by the Contractor under this contract. (b)(1) The Contractor shall submit invoices using the electronic form invoicing program Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), which is a secure web-based service provided by the U.S. Treasury that more efficiently manages government invoicing. (2) The Contractor's Government Business Point of Contact (as listed in System for Award Management (SAM)) will receive registration/enrollment instructions via email from the IPP. Registration is free and the Contractor must register within 3 to 5 days of receipt of such email from IPP.

(c) If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to use IPP for submitting invoices for payment, the Contractor shall submit a waiver request in writing to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor may submit an invoice using other than IPP only when: (1) The Contracting Officer administering the contract for payment has determined, in writing, that electronic form submission would be unduly burdensome to the Contractor; and in such cases, the Contracting Officer shall modify the contract to include a copy of the Determination; or (2) When the Governmentwide commercial purchase card is used as the method of payment. (d) The Contractor shall submit any non-electronic form payment requests using the method or methods specified in the contract. (e) Invoices submitted through IPP will be either rejected, or accepted and paid, in their entirety, and will not be paid on a partial basis.
