252.232‐7998 Supplier Self‐Service Pilot (Deviation 2018‐A0001) (DEC 2017)

(1) This solicitation has been selected for possible inclusion in a pilot to test an alternate approach to electronic invoicing. Participation in this pilot is voluntary. The vendor portal, Supplier Self‐Services (SUS), allows Contractors to use pre‐populated contract data to enter their invoices directly into a web‐based user‐interface for General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) in lieu of entering the data into Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) and having it interface the data to GFEBS. A feature of the Supplier Self Service system is that it requires that all invoices match the official accounting record in GFEBS and prevents submission of the invoice if the invoice does not match the accounting record or if the contract is not recorded in GFEBS. This ensures payments are not delayed by disconnects between the invoice data and the accounting record.

Access to the web‐based user interface vendor portal will be via WAWF log on, which will route the user to GFEBS based on the assigned Pay Office to perform invoicing.

(2) Offerors shall indicate in the offer whether they want to be considered for participation in the pilot. This indication is not an evaluation factor for award. Each award resulting from a solicitation containing this provision shall, if the successful offeror has indicated the desire to be included in the pilot, be randomly assigned to either the pilot group of contracts that will be invoiced in SUS or a control group of contracts that will be assigned using WAWF IRAPT procedures.
