WAWF INSTRUCTIONS

WIDE AREA WORK FLOW (WAWF) PROGRAM

In March 2003, the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Supplement (DFARS) subpart 232.70 – Electronic Submission and Processing of Payment Requests was issued. In accordance with this, we are excited about the deployment of a new system, Wide Are Work Flow Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA). This Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) system will benefit both you and the Air Force as we partner with each other in the implementation of this new way of conducting business. It is also important to note that in addition to this, the Department of Defense (DoD) Appropriations Act of 2001, Section 1008 - Electronic Submission and Processing of Claims for Contract Payments, requires that any claim for payment under a DoD contract shall be submitted in electronic form. The full text is found on the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) web site http://www.dod.mil/dfas/legislative/ and in 10 U.S.C Chapter 131.

WAWF-RA is designed to automate commercial invoices and government receiving reports in a web-based, paperless environment. WAWF-RA allows vendors to create and instantaneously submit invoices and receiving reports directly to DFAS and/or government receivers from any location in the world. Once documents are submitted, vendors are afforded full viewing capability and are able to monitor document status from submission to acceptance and processing by the DFAS payment office. WAWF-RA utilizes e-mail to notify all parties involved in the payment process of the current status of each document; thus eliminating U.S. mail lag-time.

Since documents will now be entered and stored in a database, there is no need for multiple copies. They cannot be “lost” or “misplaced”, and are viewable by all necessary parties during the entire payment process via a secure web site. Changes to rejected documents can be easily made and resubmitted on-line - - no more re-typing, resending, or re-faxing. Discounts become available on the first day of the discount period instead of being lost due to paperwork shuffling and postal delays. WAWF-RA should speed up the vendor payment process and get you your money faster.

McGuire AFB began using testing this new system in February 2004 and plans to fully implement it by April 2004. There are no costs involved to get you started. Registration and software are provided FREE OF CHARGE and we will be available to assist you in every step of the way. To get started, your company will need a user ID and password for accessing the WAWF-RA system. This can be obtained by visiting the WAWF-RA website at https://wawf.eb.mil/ and following the instructions under Help with registration for access to WAWF-RA. Under About WAWF – RA, you will also find links for Functional Information, Setting Up Your Machine, Accessing Web Based Training, and Frequently Asked Questions. Additionally, we have attached a Wide Area work Flow – Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA) Vendor Instructions, Installation, and Registration Checklist. Should you have questions about the WAWF-RA system or the website, please don’t hesitate to contact a Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) customer support representative toll-free at 1-866-618-5988 or e-mail them at cscassig@ogden.disa.mil. (Please include “WAWF” in the subject line of all e-mail requests.)

Wide Area Work Flow Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA) Vendor Instructions

Installation and Registration Checklist

Completion of all instructions contained in this checklist must be accomplished prior to activation of the firm and user accounts.

1. Check Central Contractor Registration System (CCR) to see if your company is registered.

· If you are registered in CCR, please go to Step 3 below.

· For help with registration in CCR, contact CCR Helpdesk, 888-227-2423 or 269-961-4725, e-mail CCR@dlis.dla.mil, or see the CCR Handbook at http://www.ccr.gov/handbook.cfm.

2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR).

· All vendors desiring to bid on goods or services in support of Department of Defense (DoD) must be registered in the CCR at http://www.ccr.gov/.

· Ensure that all mandatory fields are completed in your new CCR account (i.e., Telephone/FAX number, Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) and/or Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) codes, North American Industry Code Systems (NAICS) codes, etc.).

· Note: All contractors are required to update their CCR registration annually. Failure to do so will result in suspension of the account, which will prevent or delay awarding DoD contracts and payments to your firm.

3. Establish an Electronic Business Point of Contact (EB POC).

· The next step is to ensure that you have identified an EB POC for your company. You are required to establish both a primary and alternate EB POC for each CAGE/DUNS code assigned to the firm.

· To see if an EB POC is listed for your company, go to http://www.ccr.gov/

HYPERLINK "http://www.ccr2000.com/" http://www.ccr2000.com/ and click on "Search CCR." Where prompted, enter the DUNS or CAGE or Company Name and click "Submit Query." If you are presented with a list of DUNS numbers, you will need to pick the specific location and click on the DUNS.

· Scroll to the bottom of the Inquiry Results page. There you can see if anyone is listed as the EB POC. If no one is listed, your company has not identified an EB POC yet. If you see that there is no one listed as your company’s EB POC, you need click on “Update or Renew Registrations Using TPIN” to add it.

· Each vendor organization may establish up to two EB POC’s (primary and alternate) for each Cage/DUNS combination.

· The EB POC will be responsible for authorizing access to employee(s) of the vendor’s organization to view and/or modify data submitted on behalf of the vendor.

· Update NAICS codes developed by the Census Bureau, which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. Until NAICS codes are updated, update will not be complete. For more info on NAICS codes, visit: http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html

4. Determine if your organization will designate a Group Administrator (GAM) (Proceed to paragraph 5 if you are not going to designate a GAM).

· In medium to large sized companies, there may be a need to establish more than one GAM.

· A GAM determines who has access to the WAWF-RA vendor account.

· The initial GAM shall be the person designated as the EB POC. To appoint additional GAM’s, each vendor must submit an official appointment letter signed by the EB POC.

· The appointment letter should be faxed to the WAWF-RA Customer Support Center.

· The Group Administrator's Manual is available for reviewing to all WAWF-RA registered users.

· The GAM Manual can be found in the Software Users Manual link within the WAWF-RA application.

5. Establish an organizational email address

· All records created in WAWF-RA are stored in a virtual file folder and as status is updated or changes the system generates an email notification to applicable individuals identified in the firm’s organizational email account.

· The GAM or EB POC shall provide the organizational email to the WAWF-RA Customer Support Center.

· Ensure that your firm’s organizational email address is operational and can receive email from WAWF-RA prior to registering your email address with the WAWF-RA Customer Support Center.

· Note: If you do not set up an organizational email address, the personal email address of the first person who self-registers from your firm (CAGE/DUNS code), will be designated as the organizational email address for your firm.

6. Set up PCs to access WAWF-RA

· Set up the PCs of your organization's users to access WAWF-RA.

· Select the "Setting Up Your Machine" link on the WAWF-RA home page for more information: https://wawf.eb.mil/Instr.html.

7. Have all users self-register on the WAWF-RA web site

· Every user for your firm must self-register on the WAWF-RA web site by completing the online registration form.

· Select the "Self Register" link on the WAWF-RA home page and follow the instructions.

· Users may access WAWF-RA with either a User ID/Password combination or a PKI certificate. Users who want to use a PKI certificate must obtain it before self-registering.

· PKI Certificates may be obtained from one of the approved Interim External Certificate Authorities: Operational Research Consultants Inc. http://eca.orc.com, Digital Signature Trust Co. http://www.digsigtrust.com/home.html, or Verisign: http://www.verisign.com. The web sites provide the instructions needed to acquire a PKI Certificate.

· If further assistance is needed, contact the WAWF-RA Customer Service Center.

· Note: Registrations will not be activated until the WAWF-RA Customer Support Center receives an email from the EB POC/GAM as registered in the CCR data- base.

8. Follow-up (if necessary).

· If your (GAM or user) account hasn't been activated within 2 business days of self-registering contact the WAWF-RA Customer Service Center:

PREPARATION OF MATERIAL APPROVAL SUBMITTALS

The submittals contemplated by the clause herein entitled “Material and Workmanship” shall be accomplished on and in accordance with instructions pertaining to AF Form 3000, Material Approval Submittal.

ENTRY TO THE BASE

To reduce delay time while preserving required security, the following points should be considered in planning to enter the base:

a. Prior to entering the base, the prime contractor must furnish the Contracting Officer a list of his/her employees (to include subcontractor employees) on Company letterhead, who will require entrance to the base. This personnel listing shall include the employees complete name, home address, social security number, (immigration number for Non-U.S. legal immigrants), date of birth, driver’s license state and number; and if using their own POV include vehicle type and color, vehicle make and model, and vehicle registration number. Employees not included on the list will be denied entry to the base. The list must be updated, as employees are added/deleted. The list shall include the contract number and expiration date of the contract.

b. Additionally all contractors shall be required to provide information on personnel requesting access to McGuire AFB, NJ, to a local police department for a criminal background check. This check is done at the contractor's expense. Any police department will suffice as all police departments use a national database. The criminal background check must be completed no later than seven working days before the start date of contract. The 305th Security Forces Squadron will not be used to conduct this criminal background check.

c. Privately Owned Vehicles (not more than 2 axle): The Government reserves the right to search any and all vehicles authorized entrance to the base, including those contractor owned. Privately owned vehicles (POV) should enter the base by Gate 1 (Main Gate) or Gate 2 (24 Hour Gate) on Wrightstown-Cookstown Road. Drivers of privately owned vehicles must have a valid drivers license, picture identification, and proof of insurance and valid registration on the vehicle. All privately owned vehicles must proceed directly to the work area.

d. Construction/Delivery Vehicles: Construction / delivery vehicles must enter the base by Gate 9 on Saylors Pond Road. Guard force personnel and/or military working dogs will inspect Construction / delivery vehicles. Delivery schedules should be arranged in advance and vendors made aware that a delay of up to four hours could be expected in entering the base. Deliveries after 4:00 P.M. will not be allowed entry into the base. All construction/delivery vehicles must proceed directly to the work area. Drivers of construction / delivery vehicles must have valid drivers licenses, picture identification and proof of insurance and valid registration on the vehicle before entering the base. In addition, any other construction / delivery people present in the vehicle must also have picture identification to enter the base. Special provisions will be made for time-sensitive materials such as concrete or asphalt, which will be explained at the pre-construction conference.

PERIODS OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY

During periods of national emergency, contractors may be requested to depart the base immediately. Contractors may be denied entry to the base until the Government determines normal operations can resume. In the event this occurs, the contract will be extended, upon written request of the Contractor submitted to the Contracting Officer, for the length of time the contractor was denied entry to the base. No other relief or compensation shall be granted.

Health Care: The medical treatment facility will provide urgent health care to contract employees (contract employee is not a Government employee but is a contractor or an employee of a contractor)for injuries occurring while on duty. Urgent health care is defined as medical care authorized to the extent necessary to save life or limb and prevent undue pain and suffering. The contract employee will be transferred to a civilian medical facility as soon as the contract employee is stabilized. The cost of such treatment will be paid for, in full, within a reasonable period of time, by the contract employee and will not be borne by the 305th Medical Treatment Facility, the United States Air Force or the Government. An AF Form 1127, Hospital Invoice/Receipt/Accounts Receivable Record, will be prepared to ensure collection and/or billing of charges. If a contract employee cannot pay for the treatment at the time of discharge, a statement of charges and a letter of indebtedness will be completed and billed to the contract employee for medical services rendered. An accounts receivable record will be established for each contract employee who receives medical care and is unable to pay at the time of discharge. Follow-up on accounts receivable will be completed in accordance with AFI 41-120, Medical Resource Operations. After an accounts receivable record is established and billing for outpatient medical services has occurred, the SF 558, Medical Record - Emergency Care and Treatment, will be annotated with the date of billing and the voucher number and forwarded to Outpatient Records to be filed in the medical record folder. The contract employee shall ensure that he/she provides timely notice to his/her medical insurance company and that if the insurance company is to make payment, the insurance company has adequate information and documentation to make payment. A contract employee treated in a natural disaster is not charged for outpatient care."

Antiterrorism:

As a prelude and during performance of any contract on McGuire AFB, it is critical that the contractor be supportive of all DoD requirements to protect personnel, their families, installations, facilities, information, and other resources from terrorist acts.

All contractors and sub-contractors are responsible for providing their personnel information on the McGuire Antiterrorism Program.

During performance of work, personnel security and protection of resources is critical for the installation to maintain a safe work environment. Contractor personnel will be alert for any suspicious activity observed by their work force or any personnel working on the installation. If any situation appears to be suspicious, immediate actions must be taken to make proper notification to McGuire Law Enforcement by calling the McGuire Security Forces Desk at 2001. Both personnel and vehicles must be strictly controlled during performance of duty. No personnel and/or equipment will be allowed to be placed in harms way that could aid or abet anyone with bad intention to cause harm to McGuire AFB. Any contractor doing construction work will adhere to the DoD Unified Facilities Construction Code Requirements. Contractors are encouraged to contact the McGuire Antiterrorism Office at (609) 754-1397 or 1611 for information regarding the installation Antiterrorism Program.

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Domestic construction material means--

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if--

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material. However, when the basis for the exception is the unreasonable price of a domestic construction material, adequate consideration is not less than the differential established in paragraph (b)(3)(i) of this clause.

(3) Unless the Government determines that an exception to the Buy American Act applies, use of foreign construction material is noncompliant with the Buy American Act.

(d) Data. To permit evaluation of requests under paragraph (c) of this clause based on unreasonable cost, the Contractor shall include the following information and any applicable supporting data based on the survey of suppliers:

Foreign and Domestic Construction Materials Price Comparison

Construction material description Unit of measure Quantity Price (dollars) \1\

OMBUDSMAN (AUG 2005)

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to consider and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the party to another official who can resolve the concern. The ombudsman may not serve as an advocate for any party.

(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, concerned parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, concerned parties may contact the Center/MAJCOM ombudsmen. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations that cannot be resolved at the MAJCOM/DRU level, may be brought by the concerned party for further consideration to the Air Force ombudsman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary (ADAS) (Contracting), SAF/AQC 1060 Air Force Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1060, phone number (703) 588-7004, facsimile number (703) 588-1067.
