Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal.

Contractors are responsible for predetermining and disclosing their charging practices for early dismissal, delayed openings, or closings in accordance with the FAR, applicable cost accounting standards, and the company’s established policy and procedures. Contractors shall follow their disclosed charging practices during the contract period of performance and shall not follow any verbal directions to the contrary.

(e) If you intend to visit the Contracts Office, it is advised that you call for an appointment at least 24 hours in advance.
