TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS
1. Administrative Modifications:
The government may issue unilateral written modifications that do not affect the substantive rights of the parties.
Examples of administrative modifications are corrections in the payment office address or changes to the accounting and appropriation data.
2. Payment Procedures:
Funding will be provided on individual delivery orders. Payment will be made by Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). Contract payments will be processed electronically via Electronics Funds Transfer (EFT) through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). Prior to DFAS releasing any contract payment, the contractor must submit an invoice COMBO using Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) electronic commerce. An invoice COMBO is used to invoice for supplies or services and enables the vendor to create a separate invoice and receiving report from the same data entry session, eliminating the need to re-key data. After an invoice COMBO is received, a Government representative will acknowledge acceptance and receipt of the service via WAWF. After all items are properly submitted, the contract payment will be processed via DFAS electronically.
The contractor must access the WAWF Vendor Tools on the DFAS website, http://www.dfas.mil, and complete the requirements to obtain an active WAWF account. This will allow the contractors to submit invoices via WAWF so that payments can be processed electronically through EFT.
For additonal WAWF information, see clause 252.232-7003 ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT

A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.
(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.
(ii) Examples.
(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability.

Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.
