(b) The FDIC shall have fifteen (15) business days from the date of Contractor''s delivery to determine if such goods and services are in compliance with the requirements of the contract. If any services performed or goods delivered hereunder are not in conformity with the requirements of this Award, the FDIC shall have the right to require

Contractor to reperform the services or redeliver the goods in conformity with the requirements of the Award, at no additional increase in total contract amount. When the services to be performed are of such a nature that the defect cannot be corrected by reperformance of the services, the FDIC shall have the right to (1) require Contractor immediately to take all necessary steps to ensure future performance of the services in conformity with the requirements of the contract; and (2) reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed. In the event Contractor fails promptly to reperform the services or redeliver the goods, or to take necessary steps to ensure future performance of the services or delivery of the goods in conformity with the requirements of the Award, the FDIC shall have the right to either (1) by contract or otherwise, have the services performed or the goods delivered in conformity with the contract requirements and charge to Contractor any cost occasioned to the FDIC that is directly related to the performance of such services or the delivery of such goods; or

(a) Payment methods. Payments by the FDIC may be made by check or electronic funds transfer (EFT), or by a third party in lieu of payment directly from the FDIC, at the option of the FDIC. If the FDIC makes payment by EFT, the FDIC may, at its option, also forward the associated payment information by electronic transfer.

(b) Contractor Payment Requests. If the FDIC elects for third party payments to be made, Contractor shall make payment requests through a charge to the FDIC purchase card with the third party, at the time and for the amount due in accordance with the terms of this contract. Contractor and the third party shall agree that payments due under this contract shall be made upon submittal of payment requests to the third party in accordance with the terms and conditions of an agreement between Contractor, the Contractor''s financial agent (if any), and the third party and its agents (if any). No payment shall be due the Contractor until such agreement is made. Payments made or due by the third party are not subject to the Prompt Payment Act or any implementation thereof in this contract. Documentation of each charge against the FDIC''s purchase card shall be provided to the Contracting

Officer upon request.

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

Management (SAM) database. Any invoice submitted with incorrect EFT information shall be deemed not to be a

Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 8 OF 33 proper invoice as defined in the Prompt Payment Act clause herein.

(h) Total invoice amount.

(i) Payment terms (discount for prompt payment terms).

(j) Remittance address.

(k) Billing Point of Contact (e.g., name (where practicable), title, phone number, and mailing address of person to notify if there are questions regarding the invoice).

(l) Shipping information (e.g., shipment number, date of shipment, bill of lading number and weight of shipment.

Shipping charges, if any, must be shown as a separate item on the invoice).

(m) For time and material or labor hour awards, copies of time sheets in support of direct labor charges.

(n) If travel expenses are reimbursable under the award, Contractor must submit travel documentation, receipts and other proof of expenses as required by the FDIC Contractor Travel Reimbursement Guidelines.

(o) If subcontractor expenses are reimbursable under a labor-hour or time-and-material award, Contractor must:

(1) identify subcontractor expenses and costs separate from prime contractor expenses and costs on the invoice it submits to FDIC;

(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.

(q) The following certification statement, signed by an authorized company representative:

"This is to certify that the services set forth herein [goods described herein] were performed [delivered] during the period stated.

If an invoice does not contain the above required information; contains errors; or exceeds the total compensation ceiling limit for this award, the invoice will be returned to Contractor and processing of the invoice for payment will

Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 9 OF 33 be delayed until the deficiency is corrected.

In addition, the FDIC requires Contractors to maintain current information in the System for Award Management

(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

Contractor has failed to maintain its registration, including electronic funds transfer (EFT) information, in the SAM database.

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 10 OF 33 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.

Section G - Contract Administration Data PAGE 11 OF 33

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

Officer prior to the former employee commencing work under the contract.

(c) Reports. If Contractor is required to furnish cost, funding or performance reports, the FDIC has the right to audit and examine Contractor''s books, records, other documents and supporting materials to evaluate (1) the data underlying the reports and (2) the effectiveness of Contractor''s policies and procedures to produce data compatible with the objectives of these reports.
