Instructions

COLUMN A: Complete the "Page" column. This is the page number from the RFP located in the upper right hand corner of the page. Do not include the total page number. Enter only the page number where the topic begins.

COLUMN B: Complete the "Section/Paragraph" column with the applicable section and paragraph number (if applicable) of the RFP. For example: B2, C, or L5.1.2. For a section and paragraph number reference do not place a dot between the letter and the first number. Additional subparagraph references should be separated with a dot regardless of the format in the RFP, for example, L5.1.2.a. Do not including any other extraneous identifiers or other information other then instructed here. If the reference is to a CLIN, Clause, Appendix, or Attachment etc. the entry goes in the next column. At a minimum you will always insert at least the Section letter A through J in this column.

COLUMN C: Complete the "CLIN/Clause/Other" column. Insert the CLIN, Clause, Provision, Appendix, or Attachment number. For example: CLIN 0001, 52.217-8, Appendix A, or Attachment L3. Insert the section letter only in the Column B. This column will be completed only when there is not a more precise RFP reference number. NOTES: CLINs are in Section B. Most sections contain clauses so ensure you reference the correct section.

COLUMN D: Complete the Questions/Comments/Recommendations column. Start the question by referencing the topic. This may help the sort process. For example: Minimum Qualifications Checklist or Performance Area 10. Then insert the question or comment.

Issues must be submitted to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist listed in the beta.SAM Announcement.

Sec I Contract Clauses Contract Payments - Delivery Ticket Notice Para 1

Clauses Incorporated by Reference Line 92 252.232-7003 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports There is an apparent discrepancy in contract payment method requirements.

Specifically, RFP Section G states: Payments for eligible firm-fixed-price contract orders, call orders, or Communications Service Authorization (CSA) orders issued under this contract or agreement shall be made by the US Government using the Delivery Ticket Invoice (DTI) contract payment method.

However, RFP Section I stipulates compliance with FAR 252.232-7003, which states: Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this clause, the Contractor shall submit payment requests and receiving reports in electronic form using Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF).
