Section G - Contract Administration Data

USMC WIDE AREA WORKFLOW IMPLEMENTATION (NOV 12)

To implement DFARS 252.232-7003, " ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF PAYMENT REQUESTS AND RECEIVING REPORTS (MAR 2008)", the United States Marine Corps (USMC) utilizes Wide Area WorkFlow-Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA) to electronically process vendor requests for payment. This application allows DoD vendors to submit and track Invoices and Receipt/Acceptance documents electronically.

The contractor is required to utilize this system when processing invoices and receiving reports under this contract/order, unless the provision at DFARS 252.232-7003(c) applies. The contractor shall (i) ensure an Electronic Business Point of Contact is designated in System for Award (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov and (ii) register to use WAWF-RA at the https://wawf.eb.mil site, within ten (10) calendar days after award of this contract or modification. Step by step procedures to register are available at the https://wawf.eb.mil site.

The USMC/NAVY WAWF-RA point of contact (POC) for this contract is Armando Zavala or Larry Lewis or Leticia Southall and can be reached at 252-464-8312 or 252-464-9917 via e-mail to armando.zavala@dla.mil; or larry.lewis@dla.mil; or leticia.southall@dla.mil.

The contractor is directed to use the “Combo” format when processing invoices and receiving report.

When entering the invoice into WAWF-RA, the contractor shall fill in the following DoDAAC fields or DoDAAC extensions:

ava.murphy@usmc.mil and jessica.franceschin1@usmc.mil.

NOTE Upon acceptance in WAWF the Acceptor shall designate the LPO named above as an additional email recipient within WAWF.

When preparing invoices the “PrePop” option should always be used when available. If this is an initial invoice, the “PrePop” option will not be available and the contractor must enter the fields found in the table above. When “PrePop” option is used, the contractor shall verify those DoDAACs automatically entered by the WAWF-RA system to ensure they match the above information. If these DoDAACs do not match, then the contractor shall fill in the correct the field(s) and notify the Contracting Officer that a discrepancy exists.

For assistance with invoicing, refer to the WAWF Software User Manual which can be accessed by logging into WAWF, then scrolling on the left side of the screen, and selecting “Software User Manual.” Once opened, from the pop-up window, select “invoice” for a general overview on invoicing procedures. Additional guidance on creating a Combo or a 2n1 invoice is also located in the Software User Manual.

Before closing out of an invoice session in WAWF-RA, but after submitting the document or documents, the contractor will be prompted to send additional email notifications. Contractor shall click on “Send More Email Notification” on the page that appears. Add the acceptor’s/receiver’s email address (Note this address is their work email address not their WAWF-RA organizational email address) in the first email address block and add any other additional email addresses desired in the following blocks. This additional notification to the Government is important to ensure the acceptor/receiver is aware that the invoice documents have been submitted into the WAWF-RA system.

NOTE: The POCs identified above are for WAWF-RA issues only. Any other contracting questions/problems should be addressed to the Contracting Officer or other person identified in the contract to who questions are to be addressed.
