Dear Sir or Madam:

You will submit proper invoices associated with this award through the Invoice Processing

Platform (IPP) at https://www.ipp.gov/. IPP is a secure web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency.

It is effective for use after FSMS Go-Live for new awards with FY-22 obligations established on or after October 1, 2021 and requires enrollment if you are not yet enrolled.

Actions to take:

If you are already enrolled in IPP:

If your company is already registered to use IPP, you will not be required to re-register and you do not need to contact IPP.

If you are NOT already enrolled in IPP:

The point of contact you provided in your SAM.gov registration will receive two emails from ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov. Please note that emails from this email address may filter into your spam or junk folder:

1. The first email will have the IPP Logon ID and a link to the IPP application.

2. A second email, which will be sent within 24 hours of the first email, contains a temporary password.

Once your contact receives these emails, please ensure they log into IPP and complete the registration process.

Once registered to use IPP, your company may submit invoices electronically, receive e-mail notifications when requests are paid, view payment history, and access remittance downloads.

The e-mail notification of payment is sent when a payment is distributed to your bank account and may include the following payment information: Date of payment, dollar amount, invoice number, paying agency, payee name, and ACH trace number.

Vendor training materials, including a first time login tutorial, are available on the https://www.ipp.gov/ website. Once you have logged in to the IPP application, you will have access to user guides that provide step-by-step instructions for all IPP capabilities, ranging from https://www.ipp.gov/ mailto:ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov https://www.ipp.gov/ creating and submitting an invoice to setting up email notifications. Live webinars are held monthly and provide a great opportunity to learn the basic of the system and to call in and ask the IPP team questions about the IPP application.

IPP Customer Support is available to assist users of the system and can answer your questions related to accessing IPP or completing the registration process.

Toll-free number: 866-973-3131

Email address: IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

Hours of operation: Monday through Friday (excluding bank holidays) from 8:00 am -

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the registration process and for your continued support.

For awards issued in NESSS add: Please note: Your company must follow IPP instructions to create a Non-PO invoice when submitting payment requests; the Coast Guard award is not auto-populated in the system and other features of IPP discussed in this note may not be available.

Sincerely, Amanda Justice
