Before implementing a system or schedule for submission, the Contractor shall check with the COR to ensure all 4.11.2 requirements are met. (CDRL A012)

8.2.4.2. The Contractor shall conduct quality reviews of all data before and after each submission and is responsible for updating and correcting errors and omissions on current and cumulative expense data within 48 hours of submission. Adjustments to all current and previously exercised Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) shall be submitted, as required, to the level of detail specified in Appendix (1) as the adjustments occur.

8.2.5. Monthly Segregation of Cost and Invoicing Requirements Report. The Contractor shall segregate costs incurred under this contract at the lowest level of performance, either by tasks, subtask, or Technical Direction Letter (TDL) rather than only on a Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) or total contract basis and shall submit invoices reflecting costs incurred at that level. In addition, the Contractor shall submit invoices containing summaries of work charged during the period covered, as well as overall cumulative summaries for all work invoiced to date. (CDRL A013)

8.2.5.1. Invoice Requirements. When there is more than one line of accounting, the Government will describe each ACRN preceding the accounting citation in the contract or a particular CLIN. The Government will pay Contractor invoices by charging only an ACRN corresponding to the CLIN invoiced. Accordingly, when there are many lines of accounting, the Government will fund each CLIN separately and it will summarize the funding level for each CLIN. The Contractor’s invoices shall state separate incremental and cumulative amounts for each CLIN with further segregation by task and subtask showing each element of cost.

8.2.5.2. Invoice Format. Invoices shall contain the following cost elements by schedule and include supporting detail. Invoices shall be submitted with two attachments. The first attachment shall contain Schedules A through D, F and G and shall be provided as fully burdened. The second attachment shall contain Schedule E.

9.0 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) RELATED CLAUSES.

9.1. CLINGER-COHEN ACT: In 1996, Congress enacted the Clinger-Cohen Act (CCA), requiring agencies to use a disciplined capital planning and investment control process to acquire, use, maintain and dispose of information technology. Per CCA, OSD Memo of 08 Mar 2000, the DoD 5000.2 of 13 May 2003, and SECNAVINST 5000.2C of 19 Nov 2004, CCA compliance is required for all programs that contain IT, including IT in weapons and weapons system programs. The law provides authority to the agency’s CIO to manage IT resources effectively. The authority to grant compliance with CCA and approve the Information Assurance strategy depends on the Acquisition Category (ACAT).

9.2. SYSTEM SOFTWARE / APPLICATION COMPLIANCE: All Information Technology Systems or software/application development, modification or support shall be performed in accordance with Defense Business Transformation guidance (formerly Business Management Modernization Program (BMMP)), DON/NAVAIR Functional Area Manager (FAM) Policies and Guidance, Network and Server Registration, and Web Enablement mandates.
