Background: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) partners with the United States Coast Guard Finance Center (FinCen) for financial services in support of TSA operations, including the payment of contractor invoices. All contractor invoices must be submitted to, and will be paid by, the U.S. Coast Guard Finance Center.

Definitions: As used in these instructions – (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. In addition, discount offerings and small business status, if available, must be stated. If travel was allowable and approved, components in accordance with FAR 31.205-46 must be provided.

Invoice Submission Method

(a) New Contractual Agreements: For all newly awarded contractual agreements between TSA and a vendor, payment requests (invoices) must be submitted electronically using the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). Contractors are required to enroll in IPP and submit invoices in accordance with the instructions provided at https://www.uscg.mil/fincen/IPP/. Information regarding IPP, including customer support, is available at www.ipp.gov or any successor site. Alternate payment procedures for new agreements may only be used if the contracting officer provides written authorization in accordance with TSA procedures. If authorized, a copy of the written authorization must be included with each payment request.

(b) Existing Contractual Agreements: For contractual agreements established prior to the implementation of the IPP requirement, contractors may continue to submit invoices using the alternate methods outlined in their original agreement. These methods include submission via U.S. Mail or email, utilizing ONLY ONE method per invoice submission:

· Mail invoices to: United States Coast Guard Finance Center TSA Commercial Invoices P.O. Box 4111 Chesapeake, VA 23327-4111

· Email invoices to: FIN-SMB-TSAInvoices@uscg.mil or www.fincen.uscg.mil

Contractors must verify receipt of invoices regardless of submission method and may inquire about invoice status using the contact information provided in the Payment Status section.

Invoice Elements: Invoices that are not proper will automatically be rejected if the information required in the Prompt Payment Clause is not included in the invoice. Contractors must correct any noted deficiencies and resubmit the invoice directly to the FinCen for verification of error correction. All invoices must clearly correlate invoiced amounts to the corresponding contract line-item number and funding citation. The Contractor shall work with the Government to mutually refine the format, content, and method of delivery for all invoice submissions during the performance of the Contract.

OBSERVANCE OF LEGAL HOLIDAYS AND ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE (JUNE 2024)

The Government observes the following Federal holidays (and Government facilities are generally closed on these days, have restricted access, or other entrance requirements may apply due to security procedures):

· New Year’s Day

· Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.

· Washington’s Birthday (President’s Day)

· Memorial Day

· Juneteenth National Independence Day

· Independence Day

· Labor Day

· Columbus Day

· Veteran’s Day

· Thanksgiving Day

· Christmas Day

In addition to the days designated as Federal holidays, the Government also observes the following days (with the same access restrictions as stated above):

· Any other day designated by Federal Statute.

· Any other day designated by Executive Order.

· Any other day designated by President’s Proclamation, such as extreme weather conditions.

· Inauguration Day (Washington, DC metropolitan area) (Likewise government facilities in the DC area are generally closed on these days, or restricted access or entrance requirements may apply due to security procedures);

· Inclement weather closures and/or early dismissals; and,

· Or any other officially declared reason.

When the Government grants excused absence to its employees in a specific location, it is up to the Contractor to determine if assigned Contractor personnel at that same location are dismissed. The Contractor agrees to continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform critical tasks already in operation or scheduled and shall be guided by the notification issued by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer’s Representative. Observance of such holidays by Government personnel shall not be a reason for the Contractor to request an extension of the period of performance, or entitlement of compensation except as set forth within the contract.

In the event the Contractor’s personnel work during the holiday or other excused absences:

For firm-fixed price contracts: No form of holiday or other premium compensation will be considered as either as a direct or indirect cost, other than their normal compensation for the time worked.

For cost reimbursement and time and materials (T&M)/ labor hour (LH) contracts: The Government will only consider as direct and/or indirect costs those efforts actually performed during the holiday or excused absences in the event contractor personnel are not dismissed. This provision does not preclude reimbursement for authorized overtime work if applicable to this contract. All costs chargeable shall be consistent with the Contractor’s Disclosure Statement.

It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure the management responsibility for contractor functions approved by the Contracting Officer for offsite work in the event of inaccessibility of federal workplaces. The contractor may propose telework or other solutions when critical work is required, however, the Contractor is solely responsible for any cost differential in performance, all liabilities that may be due to performance at an alternate location, and all resources necessary to complete such performance.

In the event of an actual emergency, the Contracting Officer may direct the contractor to change work hours or locations or institute telework, utilize personal protective equipment, or other mandated items.

In the event of a Government closure (furlough) caused by a lapse in appropriations, which can occur if adequate funds have not been appropriated, the Contractor shall continue performance under the contract unless otherwise notified in writing by a Contracting Officer. Unless the Contractor is provided a formal notification to the contrary, usually via a Stop Work Order pursuant to FAR 52.242-15, the Contractor must continue to comply with all terms and conditions of the contract. If a contract will not be affected by a shutdown, generally no separate notification or communication of that fact will be provided. Processing of contractor invoices for payment may or may not be deemed an excepted duty during a furlough. As such, contractor performance is expected even though invoices are pending payment processing. The Prompt Payment Act still applies.

The Government may close a Government facility for all or a portion of a business day because of:

· Granting administrative leave to non-essential Government employees (e.g., unanticipated holiday);

· Inclement weather.

· Failure of Congress to appropriate operational funds; or,

· Any other reason.

In the above cases, contractor personnel who are not classified as essential, i.e., not performing critical round-the-clock services or tasks, who are not already on duty at the facility shall not report to the facility. Such contractor personnel already present shall be dismissed and shall leave the facility. The contractor is responsible for notifying all its affected personnel in such circumstances once the Contracting Officer provides notice of such. The contractor agrees to continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform continual requirements of critical tasks already in operation or scheduled for performance during the period in which Government employees are dismissed and shall be guided by any specific instructions from the Contracting Officer.

When contractor personnel services are not required or provided due to closure of a Government facility as described in the contract, the contractor’s payment under the contract shall be affected as follows--

For cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials and labor-hour type contracts, the Government shall not reimburse as direct costs, the costs of salaries or wages of contractor personnel for the period during which such personnel are dismissed from, or do not have access to, the facility.

For fixed-price contracts, the price will not be prorated, and the contractor is expected to satisfy the contract requirement during the period of performance without requested extension. The Government may also terminate a contract for convenience either in part or full. The Contractor shall include the terms of this special contract requirement in all subcontracts awarded under this contract.

EMPLOYEE TERMINATION (JUNE 2024)

The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Representative within 48 hours when an employee is terminated. The contractor shall be responsible for returning all Government-issued contractor/employee identification, property, and any security access cards provided due to performance under this contract within one (1) business day. Failure to return all items assigned to any employee is grounds for withholding the contractor’s payments in accordance with FAR 32.503-6(b). The contractor shall include this term in all subcontracts under this contract.

The Contractor shall include the terms of this special contract requirement in all subcontracts awarded under this contract.

PROTESTS TO THE AGENCY (JUNE 2024)

Protests shall be concise and logically presented to facilitate review by the contracting officer. Offerors are directed to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 33.103(d)(2) to obtain the necessary information to provide to support the protest. Failure to substantially comply with any of those requirements may be grounds for dismissal of the protest.

All protests must be submitted in writing and signed by a company official who is authorized to commit to the company and shall be addressed to the contracting officer. If requested, an independent review of the protest at a level about the contracting officer is available.

If the offeror submits an appeal of the contracting officer’s decision, a copy of the decision shall be included with a clear and concise explanation of any legal and factual grounds for the appeal.

The Transportation Security Administration has an internal appeal process that is available for use in the event an offeror seeks a review of the contracting officer’s decision on a protest. The Head of the Contracting Activity is the independent appeal authority. Appeals must be sent electronically to TSAProcurementPolicy@tsa.dhs.gov with the subject line of the email clearly indicating “APPEAL OF AGENCY PROTEST”. Interested parties should note that if there is an agency appellate review of the contracting officer’s decision on the protest, it will not extend GAO’s timeliness requirements.
