HQ G-2-0009 SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING INVOICING (NAVSEA) (APR 2015)
(a) For other than firm fixed priced contract line item numbers (CLINs), the Contractor agrees to segregate costs incurred under this contract/task order (TO), as applicable, at the lowest level of performance, either at the technical instruction (TI), sub line item number (SLIN), or contract line item number (CLIN) level, rather than on a total contract/TO basis, and to submit invoices reflecting costs incurred at that level. Supporting documentation in Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for invoices shall include summaries of work charged during the period covered as well as overall cumulative summaries by individual labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of other direct costs (ODCs), materials, and travel, by TI, SLIN, or CLIN level. For other than firm fixed price subcontractors, subcontractors are also required to provide labor categories, rates, and hours (both straight time and overtime) invoiced; as well as, a cost breakdown of ODCs, materials, and travel invoiced. Supporting documentation may be encrypted before submission to the prime contractor for WAWF invoice submittal. Subcontractors may email encryption code information directly to the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Should the subcontractor lack encryption capability, the subcontractor may also email detailed supporting cost information directly to the CO and COR; or other method as agreed to by the CO.
(b) Contractors submitting payment requests and receiving reports to WAWF using either Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) shall separately send an email notification to the COR and CO on the same date they submit the invoice in WAWF.

PHASE II (CLINs 0001 and 0002): Evaluation will be performed prior to the award of the second (2) delivery order and shall be considered in the evaluation of all orders thereafter as a Phase III subfactor. Phase II evaluation will be performed IAW the evaluation criteria set forth in Section M of the solicitation.
PHASE III (CLINs 0001 and 0002) : Evaluation will be performed IAW the evaluation criteria set forth in Section M of the solicitation prior to the award of the third (3) delivery order and each order thereafter.
Engineering Services (CLIN 0004): Evaluation will be performed IAW the evaluation criteria set forth in Section M of the solicitation prior to the award of each order for engineering services.
Regardless of any prohibition to the criteria listed in Phase(s) II and III, the Navy reserves the right to award delivery orders to multiple vendors on a best value basis or in order to maintain a viable industrial base for the Silver-Oxide Zinc battery cell.
Offeror(s) meeting the solicitation requirements with the lowest cost may not be selected for the Phase II or III awards if a higher price offeror is determined by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) to be a greater value to the Government.
Offeror(s) that are awarded a contract(s) under Phase I are not guaranteed any orders under Phase(s) II and III.

In the event an offeror is awarded CLIN 0003 upon delivery to the contractors facility it will be become Government Furnished Property in performance of the contract.
