WIDE AREA WORKFLOW (WAWF)

WIDE AREA WORK FLOW (WAWF) PROGRAM

Revised: 29 January 2013

In March 2003, the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 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 or WAWF). 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 United States Department of Defense web site http://www.dod.gov/dodgc/olc/docs/2001NDAA.pdf and in 10 U.S.C Chapter 131 §2227.

WAWF is designed to automate commercial invoices and government receiving reports in a web-based, paperless environment. WAWF 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 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 should speed up the vendor payment process and get you your money faster.

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst began using & testing this new system in February 2004 and fully implemented 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 system. This can be obtained by visiting the WAWF website at https://wawf.eb.mil/ and following the instructions under New User? for registration. Under New User?, you will also find links for Vendor getting started help, Instructions for Agencies/Services New to WAWF, and Machine setup. Additionally, under Help, you will find links for Web based training, Functional information, and a Wide Area Workflow – Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF) Vendor Instructions, Installation, and Registration Checklist. Should you have questions about the WAWF 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@csd.disa.mil.

WAWF-RA Vendor Instructions, Installation, and Registration Checklist

Wide Area Work Flow Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF) 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. Register with System for Award Management (SAM).

· All vendors must be registered in the SAM in order to sell goods and services to the Department of Defense (DoD).

· Register at URL https://www.sam.gov/.

· For help with registration in SAM, contact the Federal Service Desk at 866-606-8220 or 334-206-7828. If you do not know your SAM POC, you can contact the Federal Service Desk.

2. Establish or verify the Electronic Business Point of Contact (EB POC) in SAM.

· To facilitate electronic commerce between vendors and DOD, vendors must establish an Electronic Business (EB) POC for their company in SAM.

· The EB POC will be responsible for authorizing vendor employee(s) access to submit, modify and/or view data on behalf of the vendor. In WAWF terminology, the EB POC also functions as the Group Administrator (GAM). The GAM is your company's "Gate Keeper" and will be responsible for authorizing access to WAWF for all your company's employee(s).

· The SAM POC is responsible for entering EB POC data in SAM.

· To see if an EB POC is listed for your specific company, go to https://www.sam.gov/ (External Link) and click on "Search Records". Where prompted, enter the DUNS Number, CAGE Code or Company Name and click the "Search" button. You will then be presented with a list of one or more entities to choose from. Click on the View Details link next to your entity. Once the next screen is loaded, click on the “POCs” link. On this screen you can see if anyone is listed as the EB POC. If no one is listed, the company has not identified an EB POC yet.

· If a vendor sees that there is no one listed as their EB POC, they need to contact the SAM POC and ask the SAM POC to update the company's registration to include the EB POC.

· Each vendor can establish up to two EB POCs, one primary and one alternate EB POC, for each Cage/DUNS code.

3. Register for Electronic Document Access (EDA). (Optional Step but recommended.)

· Electronic Document Access (EDA) acts as a virtual file cabinet for the storage and retrieval of multiple types of acquisition documents to include Purchase Orders and post-award contracts. Vendor may be authorized to view contract documents that match their validated DUNS or CAGE codes.

· Go to the following URL http://eda.ogden.disa.mil/users_guide/access/Registration/reg002_VendorSteps.html for instructions.

4. Have your CAGE Code added to the WAWF Group Structure.

· Your CAGE Code/s must be added to WAWF Group Structure before any personnel can self-register in WAWF. If you have multiple CAGE Codes they can all be added to your group at the same time.

· Optional CAGE Code extensions can be created to subdivide your CAGE Code into smaller units. Each CAGE Code and extension will have its own organizational e-mail address. The email addresses will be used to notify your sub-groups that a document status has changed.

· To establish a vendor group for a CAGE Code, someone in your company needs to either call the Customer Support Center phone number or send an email to DISA Ogden. If your organization has multiple CAGE Codes, the WAWF Customer Support Center will assist in adding all your CAGE Codes to your CAGE Group Structure in WAWF (see Customer Support link).

· Phoned in requests will be activated online. Emailed requests will be processed within 48 hours after receipt.

· Important - PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR EB POC! We will need their authorization to activate individual accounts after the CAGE Code(s) are added to WAWF.

· For Group Activation, please include the following information in an email to WAWF Customer Support:

· Activate the following CAGE Code(s) in WAWF

· Cage Code

· EB POC's Name

· EB POC's Email

· EB POC's Phone Number

5. Establish an Organizational email Address.

· WAWF routes information according to CAGE Codes. WAWF documents themselves do not get routed, but status information about the documents is sent in emails. For example, email confirmations are sent when a vendor SUBMITS a document. Email notices are sent when the government ACCEPTS or REJECTS the document.

· In order to receive status information about the WAWF documents, vendors need to establish an organizational email account and determine who will have access to this organizational email account.

· Ensure that the organizational email address is operational and can receive email prior to registering it with the WAWF Customer Support Center.

· The GAM or EB POC shall provide the organizational email to the WAWF Customer Support Center. (See GAM Appointment Letter in Step 6 below).

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

6. Designate a Group Administrator (GAM) for your company.

· A GAM determines who has access to their data submitted in WAWF and provides the authorization to activate.

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

· Vendors must appoint a GAM to manage their WAWF account. It is recommended that the EB POC be the GAM. As mentioned earlier, the GAM is your company’s "Gate Keeper" and as such this person authorizes the activations and deactivations for the company's CAGE Code(s). When the EB POC registers as the GAM no additional paperwork is required to establish your WAWF GAM account.

· The EB POC will also be contacted when there is a question about invoices submitted through WAWF. Please ensure your EB POC is familiar with the WAWF process and they can contact company personnel to answer invoicing questions from government officials.

· If you appoint a GAM that is not your EB POC, they are required to submit their GAM appointment letter, signed by their EB POC, via email to the Ogden Customer Support Center or they may fax it to the Customer Service Center at 1-801-605-7453. The GAM appointment letter template can be found at the following link: https://wawf.eb.mil/documentation/GAM-GV_letter.doc .

7. Determine if batch feeds for data input is necessary.

· Most Vendors use the manual, web entry method to input their documents directly into WAWF. Web entry is a good method if you have a small volume of payment documents to create or if you have a small number of lines on your contract(s). For vendors that have a large number of transactions and/or many line items per payment document, you may want to consider submitting documents into WAWF via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) method.

· WAWF FTP and EDI Guides are available after your account has been activated. If further assistance is needed, please contact the WAWF Customer Service Center and ask for help with EDI. A trouble ticket will be created and you will be forwarded to the Joint Interoperability Test Center (JITC) and a technician will be assigned to assist you in testing your file layout(s).

8. Set up PCs to access WAWF.

· Your current computer configuration is usually sufficient to use WAWF. On rare occasions your computer's browser setting may need to be changed.

· Please try using WAWF first and then if you experience problems check your set-up by selecting the "Machine Setup" link on the WAWF home page or calling the Ogden Help desk for assistance - for Ogden Help desk information select the "Customer Support" link on the WAWF home page.

9. GAM needs to Self Register in WAWF.

· Refer to the "Registration" Link on the WAWF Home Page and the Help button for details on registering in the WAWF application as a GAM.

· If the GAM's account has not been activated within 2 business days of self-registering, notify the WAWF Customer Service.

10. Have all users for the CAGE Code(s) self-register on the WAWF web site for one of the available Vendor Roles.

· Once the EB POC (GAM) has been activated, all company users will need to self-register. Now the EB POC (GAM) can activate or deactivate their own company personnel within WAWF.

· Every user of WAWF must self-register on the WAWF web site by completing the online registration form.

· Refer to the "Registration" Link on the WAWF Home Page and the Help button for details on registering in the WAWF application in a Vendor Role.

· Note: User accounts will not be activated until the GAM activates the accounts. The GAM will receive an email for all registrations.

· If a user's account has not been activated within 2 business days of self-registering, notify the EB POC or WAWF Customer Support Center.

11. Practice Using WAWF.

· Online Training Site - Once you have completed steps 1-10, you may want to practice using WAWF in the online training site. This site is for practice only. You can practice submitting documents for payment, viewing and working on documents in the online training site. After getting to the WAWF practice site, you should click the "Training Instructions" hyperlink in the left column to get your training User IDs and passwords and important sample data.

· To practice in the online training site go to the following URL: https://wawftraining.eb.mil/ .

12.

Follow-up (if necessary).

52.219-28 POST-AWARD SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM REREPRESENTATION (APR 2012)

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

Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.

Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause. Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.

(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall rerepresent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.

(3) For long-term contracts--
