1052.232-39 UNENFORCEABILITY OF UNAUTHORIZED OBLIGATIONS (January 2016)

(a) Definition. As used in this clause-

"Commercial supplier agreements" means terms and conditions customarily offered to the public by vendors of supplies or services that meet the definition of commercial item set forth in FAR 2.101 and intended to create a binding legal obligation on the end user. Commercial supplier agreements (CSA) are particularly common in information technology acquisitions, including acquisitions of commercial computer software and commercial technical data, but they may apply to any supply or service. The term applies-

(1) Regardless of the format or style of the document. For example, a CSA may be styled as standard terms of sale or lease, Terms of Service (TOS), End User License Agreement (EULA), or another similar legal instrument or agreement, and may be presented as part of an offer or quotation responding to a solicitation.

(2) Regardless of the media or delivery mechanism used. For example, a CSA may be presented as one or more paper documents or may appear on a computer or other electronic device screen during a purchase, software installation, other product delivery, registration for a service, or another transaction.

(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any CSA, that includes any language, provision, or clause requiring the Government to pay any future fees, penalties, interest, legal costs or to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(1) Any such language, provision, or clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(2) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the CSA. If the CSA is invoked through an "I agree" click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., "click-wrap" or "browse-wrap" agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(3) Any such language, provision, or clause is deemed to be stricken from the CSA.

(c) Paragraph (b) of this clause does not apply to indemnification or any other payment by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

1052.232-7003 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS (APR 2015)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

(1) “Payment request” means a bill, voucher, invoice, or request for contract financing payment with associated supporting documentation. The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), "Content of Invoices" and the applicable Payment clause included in this contract.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, the Contractor shall submit payment requests electronically using the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). Information regarding IPP, including IPP Customer Support is available at www.ipp.gov or any successor site.

(c) The Contractor may submit payment requests using other than IPP only when the Contracting Officer authorizes alternate procedures in writing in accordance with Treasury procedures.

(d) If alternate payment procedures are authorized, the Contractor shall include a copy of the Contracting

Officer’s written authorization with each payment request.

PAYMENT AND INVOICE QUESTIONS (IPP)

For payment and invoice questions, go to https://arc.fiscal.treasury.gov/vendors-and-contractors/ or contact Accounts Payable at (304) 480-8000 option 7 or via email at AccountsPayable@fiscal.treasury.gov.

OVERPAYMENTS

In accordance with 52.212-4 section (i) 5 Overpayments: Accounts Receivable Conversion of Check Payments to electronic funds transfer (EFT): If the Contractor sends the Government a check to remedy duplicate contract financing or an overpayment by the government, it will be converted into an EFT. This means the Government will copy the check and use the account information on it to electronically debit the Contractor's account for the amount of the check. The debit from the Contractor's account will usually occur within 24 hours and will be shown on the regular account statement.

The Contractor will not receive the original check back. The Government shall destroy the Contractor's original check, but will keep a copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, the Contractor authorizes the Government to process the copy in place of the original check.

MARKING OF SHIPMENTS AND INVOICES

The Contractor shall ensure the contract number is clearly visible on all shipping/service documents, containers, and invoices.

IT ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-

STATEMENT OF WORK

UNITED STATES ACCESS BOARD (USAB)

ACCESSIBILITY AND SECTION 508 WEBINARS

1. INTRODUCTION

The United States Access Board (USAB) is an independent federal agency that advances accessibility through leadership in accessible design and the development of accessibility guidelines and standards.

Created in 1973 to ensure access to federally funded facilities, the USAB is a leading source of information on accessible design. USAB develops and maintains design criteria for the built environment, transit vehicles, public right-of-way, information and communication technology, and medical diagnostic equipment under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and other laws. It also provides technical assistance and training on these requirements and continues to enforce accessibility standards that apply to federally funded facilities under the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA).

USAB is structured to function as a coordinating body among federal agencies and directly represent the public, particularly people with disabilities. Its governing board is comprised of twenty-five (25) members.

Twelve (12) of the governing board members are representatives from most of the federal departments.

The thirteen (13) others, who are appointed by the President, are members of the public, most of which have a disability. Additionally, USAB employs approximately thirty (30) staff across five (5) units: Office of Executive Director, Office of Administration, Office of General Counsel, Office of Technical and Information Services, and the Office of Information Technology.

2. BACKGROUND

The USAB is charged with providing training and technical assistance on accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), and Information Communications Technology (ICT) under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

USAB manages an on-going training program of approximately 90-100 presentations across the country each year. These programs are presented both in person and virtually at conferences and meetings sponsored by professional associations and other organizations/business groups as well as by numerous federal agencies.

Web-based programs assist USAB in improving cost efficiencies by reducing expenses, increasing productivity, and expanding services to a greater number of Americans in fulfilling its mandate to provide technical assistance and training. Those in need of training on the guidelines may have limited opportunities to travel to participate in conferences and meetings that focus on the guidelines.

Participation in a webinar is a more viable option for individuals and businesses with limited time, money, and transportation options.
