Payment request

a. If the Contractor is not registered in IPP, CBP will initiate a request to the U.S. Department of

Treasury to grant access. The Contractor’s System for Award Management (SAM) accounts receivable point of contact will receive an email notification from the U.S. Department of Treasury with instructions to register with ID.me or Login.gov.

b. Once registered, the Contractor is required to log in to the IPP Application at https:// www.ipp.for.fiscal.treasury.gov/and submit their invoices.

5. If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to use IPP for submitting invoices for payment, the Contractor must submit a waiver request in writing to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will provide the waiver request form to the Contractor to complete upon request.

6. In accordance with FAR 32.904(b), the Contracting Officer, in conjunction with the COR will determine whether the invoice is proper or improper within seven (7) days of receipt. Improper invoices will be returned to the contractor within seven (7) days of receipt.

7. Contractor assistance with the use of IPP can be obtained by emailing the U.S. Treasury IPP Customer Support at IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov or by phone at (866) 973-3131.

These individuals will be considered for “reciprocity” as applicable (refer to CBP Form 78 – BIRD).

For contracts not requiring Contractor Employees to possess a security clearance upon contract inception, the following is applicable: The Contractor shall require Contractor Employee candidates, needing a T4 or T5 background investigation for the contract, to submit information and documentation requested by CBP to initiate the background investigation process immediately upon request by CBP.

The appropriate forms, to include “clearance” documents if applicable, must be submitted to the COR assigned to the contract, and the COR shall forward the completed forms to the CBP security official that will review the information for completeness and begin the adjudication and “clearance” (if applicable) process. Any Contract Employee candidate who fails to comply after multiple requests and attempts to reach them will be discontinued from the Background Investigation process. The Contractor shall then propose a qualified replacement employee candidate to the CO and COR within 30 days after being notified of the discontinued Contract Employee candidate.

4. CBP cannot provide a standard completion time for a T4 or T5 background investigation as many scenarios affect CBP’s ability to process an individual.

Failure of any Contractor Employee to obtain and maintain a favorably adjudicated T4 or T5 shall be cause for dismissal. For key personnel, the Contractor shall propose a qualified replacement employee candidate to the CO and COR within 30 days after being notified of an unsuccessful candidate or vacancy.
