Officer upon request.
Contractor is required, as a condition to any payment, to maintain current information in the System for Award

(2) submit with its invoice, as supporting documentation, a copy of its subcontractor''s invoice when seeking reimbursement of subcontractor expenses.
(p) Pass through costs - If expenses or costs are reimbursable under the terms of the award, a description of each shall be provided in the invoice along with the quantity, unit amount, and total amount. Also, if amounts are derived from application of any formula, calculation, percentage, etc., such application must be clearly evident in the supporting documentation provided with the invoice.

(SAM) database and complete the annual renewal process, in order to receive timely invoice payments. FDIC may reject any invoice received from Contractor where processing of the invoice cannot be completed because

7.5.13-14 - Electronic Invoice Preparation and Submission (CORHQ Business Unit) -
November 2023 Contractor must follow the FDIC’s electronic invoice preparation and submission instructions stated below:
(a) Contractor must email electronic invoices to the FDIC’s Division of Finance/Accounts Payable (DOF/AP) at the following address: DOFAPInvoice@fdic.gov
(b) Contractor must only email their invoices to the above DOF/AP email address and not the Oversight Manager or
Contracting Officer. The FDIC will not accept hand-delivered invoices or invoices sent to any other address (i.e., FDIC street address or any other email addresses).
(c) Contractor must submit the electronic invoice as a single file document, in PDF or Excel (.xlsx) format. If the size of a single PDF/Excel file exceeds 30 MB, the invoice may either be submitted as two PDF/Excel files, with neither
PDF/Excel file exceeding 30 MB, or it may be submitted as a zip file that does not exceed 30 MB. If two PDF/Excel files are used, each email must clearly identify that the invoice has been separated into two PDF/Excel files to accommodate the size limitation. If a zip file is used, the individual files inside the zip file must be kept to a minimum and each must have a descriptive file name, such as "Invoice cover page", "Timesheets", etc.)
If submitting in Excel, the following applies:
(1) The Excel file must be formatted in a manner acceptable to the Contracting Officer. The first tab or worksheet
(“Sheet”) in the Excel workbook must be the invoice itself, and subsequent tabs may be used for supporting information and calculations;
(2) The entire workbook (all tabs) must be formatted for printing in portrait format using letter-size pages, unless the Contracting Officer allows for landscape format and/or legal-size pages for one or more specified tabs;
(3) The entire workbook must allow for searching, sorting, filtering, and other data viewing options by FDIC personnel. All formulas in cells must be visible to FDIC personnel;
(4) Any unit price or hourly rate must be an exact amount as rounded and displayed in the contract schedule or pricing attachment, and all calculations using the unit price or hourly rate must use that exact displayed amount.
The Contractor must not use a unit price or hourly rate on an invoice that differs from the amount displayed in the contract. For example, if a unit price or hourly rate is displayed as $135.15 in the contract, all calculations in the workbook must be based on $135.15 (with no decimals beyond the cent), and must not be based on a pre-rounded amount from elsewhere in the Contractor’s systems; and
(5) Any cell containing a calculation or formula using dollar amounts must be rounded to two decimal places (no decimals beyond the cent). This rounding guideline must be applied to both intermediate and final calculations.
(d) Contractor must not include more than one electronic invoice in the same email. (For example, if a Contractor
Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 13 OF 48 has four task orders, a separate email with a single invoice must be submitted for each of the four task orders.)
(e) Contractor must name the PDF/Excel file or zip file in the following format (with invoice date shown as year/month/date followed by a space and the invoice number):
Invoice date and invoice number (e.g., 2023-01-31 1067876)
(f) Contractor’s email subject line must include the words, “Contractor Invoice”, followed by a hyphen and the
Contract Number (or Task Order Number, or Delivery Order Number, as applicable), as shown in the example below:
"Contractor Invoice – CORHQ-23-C-0000"
(g) Task Assignments: For contracts and task orders containing provisions for Task Assignments, a separate invoice must be submitted via a separate email for each Task Assignment.
(h) The counting of days for Prompt Payment begins on the date the invoice is received in the inbox of the DOF/AP email address, until 4PM. Invoices received after 4PM will be counted as being received the following FDIC workday.

The Contractor shall fully cooperate by providing access to knowledgeable personnel, physical premises, documentation, infrastructure and application software that collects, processes, transmits, or stores FDIC information pursuant to this contract.
These inspections, assessments, audits, reviews, and examinations may be conducted either by phone, electronically or in-person.

The Contractor shall monitor its facility, premises and information systems for security and privacy incidents and provide the capability to respond to and resolve them effectively and in a timely manner, including allowing for inspection, investigation, forensic analysis, and any other action necessary to ensure compliance with OMB M-17-12 and FDIC’s Breach Response Plan, and to assist in responding to a breach. FDIC’s Breach Response Plan is available at the FDIC website:
https://www.fdic.gov/buying/goods/acquisition/index.html. The Contractor and subcontractors (at any tier) shall report a suspected or confirmed breach in any medium or form, as soon as possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with FDIC’s Breach Response Plan.

7.5.1-02 - Protecting Sensitive Information - November 2025
(a) Sensitive Information Defined. Per FDIC Directive 1360.09, sensitive information is any information, the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification of which could adversely impact the interests of FDIC in carrying out its programs or the privacy to which individuals are entitled. It includes, but not exclusively, the following:
(1) Information that is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, such as trade secrets and commercial or financial information, information compiled for law enforcement purposes, personnel and medical files, and information contained in bank examination reports;
(2) Information under the control of FDIC contained in a Privacy Act system of record that is retrieved using an individual’s name or by other criteria that identifies an individual;
(3) Personally Identifiable Information (PII) about individuals maintained by FDIC that if released for unauthorized use may result in financial or personal damage to the individual to whom such information relates. Sensitive PII, a subset of PII, may be comprised of a single item of information (e.g., SSN) or a combination of two or more items
(e.g., full name along with, financial, medical, criminal, or employment information). Sensitive PII presents the highest risk of being misused for identity theft or fraud;
(4) Information about insurance assessments, resolution and receivership activities, as well as enforcement, legal, and contracting activities; and
(5) Information related to information technology specific to the FDIC that could be misused by malicious entities
(e.g., internal IP addresses, server names, firewall rules, encryption and authentication mechanisms, and network architecture pertaining to FDIC).
(b) Protecting Sensitive Information. Contractor, all Contractor Personnel, subcontractors and subcontractor personnel shall comply with FDIC Directive 1360.09, Protecting Information, and protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of sensitive information, including PII, to which they have access. FDIC Directive 1360.09 is available at the FDIC website: https://www.fdic.gov/buying/goods/acquisition/index.html.
(c) Controlling Sensitive Information. All sensitive information, electronic and paper copy, remains the property of
FDIC. Sensitive information shall not be moved outside of FDIC premises or networks/systems unless this contract contains clause 7.4.2-02, Off-site Processing and Storing of FDIC Information.
(d) Confidentiality Agreement. An authorized representative of the Contractor, its subcontractors and consultants, and all personnel (key personnel and non-key personnel) who will have access to FDIC facilities, networks and/or information systems, or sensitive information (whether in hardcopy or electronic form) must execute confidentiality agreements. FDIC Form 3700/46, Confidentiality Agreement (for Contractors/Subcontractors/Consultants) and
FDIC Form 3700/46A, Confidentiality Agreement (for Contractor/Subcontractor/Consultant Personnel) are posted on FDIC's external website (https://www.fdic.gov/buying/goods/acquisition/index.html) and are hereby incorporated by reference.
The 3700/46 forms must be signed by the Contractor, and each subcontractor or consultant and submitted at the time of award to the Contracting Officer, with the signed contract. Post-award, they must be submitted to the
Contracting Officer when a new subcontractor or consultant is being requested. For Basic Ordering Agreements
