This document is a contract payment and invoicing instruction template for federal contractors, specifically addressing requirements for submitting payment requests and receiving reports to the Web-based Automated Accounting Maintenance (WAAWF) system.

The document outlines payment request procedures for four types of payments: fixed-price line items for services (requiring invoices or applicable receiving reports), customary progress payments based on costs incurred, performance-based payments, and commercial financing arrangements. Fast Pay requests are permitted only when Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.213-1 is included in the contract. The contractor must route document information through WAAWF using specified DoDAAC (Department of Defense Activity Address Code) data for the Pay Official, Admin office, and Service Approver/Acceptor, with all payment requests including appropriate documentation per the applicable payment clause. A WAAWF helpdesk contact (866-618-5988) is provided for assistance. The document also incorporates multiple FAR and DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) clauses by reference, including provisions addressing DEI discrimination, combating trafficking in persons, sustainable products, payment by electronic funds transfer, protests after award, breach of contract claims, security prohibitions, and subcontracts for commercial products and services, with effective dates ranging from January 2017 through October 2024.
