CONTRACT PAYMENTS - DTI

Delivery Ticket Invoice Procedures

1. General: The Delivery Ticket Invoice (DTI) contract payment method may be applied against firm fixed priced Communications Service Authorizations (CSAs) in which the receiving document, when combined with the CSA order, contains sufficient information to determine a vendor’s payment entitlement, without requiring the vendor to submit an invoice. The DTI contract payment method offers a multitude of benefits including: eliminating rejected invoices, reducing DFAS charges for invoice processing and error reporting, reducing paperwork, eradicating Prompt Payment incidents, and automation gains.

2. Eligibility: The DTI contract payment method applies only to CSAs with firm fixed prices (i.e., no taxes, surcharges, or any fee or charge that varies each month). To facilitate the use of DTI, Contracting Officers shall pursue negotiating firm fixed prices for individual circuits, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) services, wireless telecommunication services and telecommunication services available under existing Indefinite Delivery (ID) contracts (i.e., requirements authorized to be submitted via TSR/TSO). Historically, usage charges have prevented firm fixed pricing on the typical telecommunications contract. However, the telecommunications industry is evolving to receptiveness of firm fixed prices, and the DTI payment method offers advantages for the vendor.

3. Ineligibility: The DTI contract payment is not applicable to CSAs that are not one hundred percent firm fixed priced. Some examples when DTI is not authorized include:

· telecommunication usage with fixed unit pricing but variable usage units

· if taxes or any other fees are not embedded into the firm fixed price

· tariff pricing

· foreign currency adjustments

4. Clause: Firm fixed price CSAs shall include the following DTI Clause:

CONTRACT PAYMENTS - DELIVERY TICKET INVOICE PROCEDURE

Payments for eligible Communication Service Authorization(s) issued under this contract shall be made by the US Government using the Delivery Ticket Invoice (DTI) contract payment method. The DTI contract payment method is authorized by Volume 10, Chapter 7, Section 070203 of the Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation (FMR). As prescribed by the FMR, DTI payments will be provided automatically by the US Government. The vendor shall not submit invoices for telecommunication services provided under this contract. Any invoices submitted by the vendor will be considered invalid.

Upon acceptance of the telecommunications service by the Government, the Contracting Officer shall issue a DTI document. The DTI document, which contains the FMR elements required for a valid invoice, will be revised when any element is changed, and will supersede any previous DTI document(s). Each DTI document created by the Contracting Officer shall form the basis for payment for each accepted telecommunication service. It is the responsibility of the vendor to notify the Contracting Officer of any conflict between the contract price and the amount authorized by the DTI document.

Payments will be processed by:

DFAS Columbus (HQ0252), P.O. Box 183125, Columbus, OH 43218-3125

DFAS point of contact for payment problems: 1-800-756-4571, OPTION 2, OPTION 1

5. Acceptance: Positive acceptance is the only method of acceptance with a DTI contract.. Examples of positive acceptance include a government representative providing a DD250, an In Effect Report, or a customer email.

6. DTI Document: The Contracting Officer/Contract Specialist must ensure a DTI document is created and provided to the vendor. After the customer provides written positive acceptance, the Contracting Officer/Contract Specialist must create the DTI document by following the instructions below and the attached template:

4. Invoice Date (note, logically there is no invoice, so one may question the need for an invoice date. However, this is a required element per the FMR. Do not confuse invoice date with “effective date”, “bill date” or “acceptance date”.)

Manual calculation:

Obtain the “Effective Date” from the Detail Master Record

· If the “Effective Date” is the first of any month, the invoice date is the first of the next month.

For example, if the “Effective Date” is 1 Oct 09, the invoice date is 1 Nov 09.

· If the “Effective Date” is not the first of any month and the “99 bill date” is used, the invoice date is the first of the next month.

For example, an “Effective Date” of “17 Oct 09” with a “99 bill date” equates to an invoice date of “1 Nov 09”

· If the “Effective Date” is not the first of any month and the “99 bill date” is not used, the invoice date is one month and one day after the “Effective Date”.

For example, an “Effective Date” of “17 Oct 09” without a “99 bill date” equates to an invoice date of “18 Nov 09”.

52.204-9001 Contract/Order Closeout—Fixed-Price, Time-and-Materials, or Labor-Hours (Jan 2007)

Timely contract closeout is a priority under this contract/order. The Contractor shall submit a final invoice within ninety (90) calendar days after the expiration of this contract/order, unless the Contractor requests and is granted an extension by the Contracting Officer, in writing. In addition, and concurrent with the submission of the final invoice, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of the amount of excess funds that can be deobligated from this contract/order so the closeout process can begin as soon as possible upon expiration of this contract/order. A bilateral contract/order closeout modification will be forwarded to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer and must be signed by the Contractor and returned to the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) calendar days of issuance of the modification. A Contractor’s failure to respond and/or sign the bilateral closeout modification within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to deobligate excess funds and close this contract/order.

If this contract/order contains option periods, the Contractor is required to submit an invoice within ninety (90) calendar days after expiration of the base period of performance and the expiration of each exercised option period of performance to allow for deobligation of excess funds that were obligated in those respective periods of performance.
