FBI-0023 Federal Bureau of Investigation Electronic Invoicing Requirements (June 2022)

Invoice Submission

Vendors are required to create and submit electronic invoices using the IPP system. Invoices submitted by email will not be accepted. This requirement applies immediately upon contract award. For contract-specific questions, please contact the designated contracting officer for your contract.

Obtaining IPP Access

If your company has already enrolled in IPP: You will not be required to re-register. Please contact your company's IPP account administrator so that he/she may add you as an additional user to your company's IPP collector account.

If your company has NOT enrolled in IPP: Your company will be auto enrolled for IPP using information from your SAM account. Your company's Primary Electronic Business Point of

Contact (POC) will be designated as an IPP administrator. This POC will be contacted by email to register when the FBI initiates the enrollment process through IPP. To prevent enrollment delays, please ensure your designated Electronic Business POC in sam.gov is up to date. Your company's IPP administrator will be responsible for initial account registration as well as creating and managing your company's IPP users and permissions. Please note that due to U.S.

Department of the Treasury guidelines, IPP cannot set up User IDs using a shared email address.

How to register for IPP:

1. Once FBI Initiates the enrollment process, your company's designated Electronic Business

POC in sam.gov will receive two emails from IPP Customer Support

(noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov). The first email contains the initial administrative IPP User ID.

The second email, sent with 24 hours of receipt of the first email, contains a temporary password.

You must log in with the temporary password within 30 days.

2. Registration is complete when the initial administrative user logs into the IPP web site with the User ID and password provided and accepts the IPP rules of behavior. Additional user accounts, including administrators, can be created after initial login.

Training

Vendor training materials, including a first-time login tutorial, are available on the IPP.gov website. Once you have logged in to the IPP application, you will have access to user guides that provide step-by-step instructions for all IPP capabilities ranging from creating and submitting an invoice to setting up email notifications.

Additional Support

IPP Customer Support Team is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm EST.

Phone: (866) 973-3131 or email: IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov For answers to frequently asked questions, visit the Vendor FAQ page on the gov web site.

FBI-0029 Public Release of Information (OCT 2024)

The FBI requires that contractors shall not divulge, publish, or disclose information or produce material related to the contract award, or acquired in or derived from the performance of their duties without prior written consent of the FBI.

For purposes of this Clause, "Information" shall include but not be limited to any or all written or spoken language or recordings made public, including: web sites or social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, etc.; publications, studies, books, and theses;

photographs and videos/films; and public announcements and press releases describing any part of the subject matter of this contract or any phase of any program hereunder, except to the extent such information is:

1) already known to the Contractor prior to the commencement of the contract; or

2) required by law, regulation, subpoena or government or judicial order to be disclosed, including the Freedom of Information Act.

No release of information shall be made without the prior written consent of the Office of

Public Affairs and/or the Contracting Officer of the FBI. Information should be sent to: [insert

Contracting Officer’s email here]. The FBI will make every effort to review proposed publications in a timely manner. Public disclosure of information without prior FBI approval could result in financial penalties or a termination for default of the contract.

Where appropriate, in accordance with established academic publishing practices, the FBI reserves the right to author/co-author any publication derived from this contract.

These obligations do not cease upon completion of the contract.

FBI-0030 Organizational Conflict of Interest

(a) Purpose: The purpose of this clause is to ensure that:

i. The Contractor is rendering impartial assistance and advice to the Government at all times under this contract and related Government contracts;

ii. The Contractor’s objectivity in performing work under this contract or related

Government contracts is not impaired; and

iii. The Contractor does not obtain an unfair competitive advantage by virtue of its access to non-public Government information, or by virtue of its access to proprietary information belonging to others.

(b) Scope: The Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) rules, procedures and responsibilities described in FAR 9.5 “Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of

Interest”, FAR 3.101-1 “Standards of Conduct – General, and in this clause are applicable to the prime Contractor (including any affiliates and successors-in-interest), as well as any co-sponsor, joint-venture partner, consultant, subcontractor or other entity participating in the performance of this contract. The Contractor shall flow this clause down to all subcontracts, consulting agreements, teaming agreements, or other such arrangements which have OCI concerns, while modifying the terms "contract", "Contractor", and "Contracting Officer" as appropriate to preserve the Government's rights.

(c) Access to and Use of Nonpublic Information: If in performance of this contract the contractor obtains access to nonpublic information such as plans, policies, reports, studies, financial plans, or data which has not been released or otherwise made available to the public, the Contractor agrees it shall not use such information for any private purpose or release such information without prior written approval from the

Contracting Officer.

(d) Access to and Protection of Proprietary Information: The Contractor agrees to exercise due diligence to protect proprietary information from misuse or unauthorized disclosure in accordance with FAR 9.505-4. The Contractor may be requested to enter into a written non-disclosure agreement with a third party asserting proprietary restrictions, if required in the performance of the contract.

(e) In accordance with FAR 3.101-1, the Contractor shall also take all appropriate measures to prevent the existence of conflicting roles that might bias the Contractor’s judgement, give the Contractor an unfair competitive advantage, and deprive the FBI of objective advice or assistance that can result from hiring former Government employees. (See

Health Net Fed. Svcs, B-401652.3).

(f) OCI Disclosures: The Contractor shall disclose to the Contracting Officer all facts relevant to the existence of an actual or potential OCI, prior to award and any time after award.

In the proposal submission, contractors must certify that they have not participated in the development of the solicitation in any capacity and must provide a list of any former

FBI employees. OCI Disclosures after award must address any listed in this clause or FAR

9.5. This disclosure shall include a description of the OCI and the action the Contractor has taken or plans to take to avoid, neutralize or mitigate the OCI.

(g) Remedies and Waiver:

i. If the contractor fails to comply with any requirements of FAR 9.5, FAR 3.101-1, or this clause, the Government may terminate this contract for default, disqualify the

Contractor from subsequent related contractual efforts if necessary to neutralize a resulting organizational conflict of interest, and/or pursue other remedies permitted by law or this contract. If the Contractor discovers and promptly reports an actual or potential OCI subsequent to contract award, the Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience if such termination is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government or take other appropriate actions.

ii. The parties recognize that the requirements of this clause may continue to impact the contractor after contract performance is completed, and that it is impossible to foresee all future impacts. Accordingly, the Contractor may at any time seek an OCI waiver from the FBI Head of Contracting by submitting a written waiver request to the Contracting Officer. Any such request shall include a full description of the OCI and detailed rationale for the OCI waiver.

FBI- 0033 Legal Holidays, Government Dismissals and Closures, and Furlough (JAN

2025)

(a) Definitions

Compensated personal absence means any absence from work for reasons such as illness, vacation, holidays, jury duty, military training, or personal activities for which an employer pays compensation directly to an employee in accordance with a plan or custom of the employer.

Fringe benefits are allowances and services provided by the contractor to its employees as compensation in addition to regular wages and salaries. Fringe benefits include, but are not limited to, the cost of vacations, sick leave, holidays, military leave, employee insurance, and supplemental unemployment benefit plans. Except as provided otherwise in FAR subpart 31.2, the costs of fringe benefits are allowable to the extent that they are reasonable and are required by law, employer-employee agreement, or an established policy of the contractor.

Furlough is the placing of a contract on a temporary hold because of lack of work or funds. In the event that funds are not available through an appropriations law or continuing resolution, a

“shutdown” furlough occurs. A shutdown furlough is necessary when an agency no longer has the necessary funds to operate and must shut down those activities which are not excepted pursuant to the Anti-deficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 1341-1342).

Holiday means any calendar day designated as a holiday by Federal Statute, Executive Order, or

Presidential Proclamation.

Hours Worked ordinarily include all the time during which an employee is required to be on the employer’s premises, on duty, or at a prescribed workplace.

• Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday in November).

• Christmas Day (December 25).

(2) In addition to the days designated as holidays, the Government observes the following days:

• Any other day designated by Federal Statute

• Any other day designated by an Executive Order

• Any other day designated by the President's Proclamation

(3) When New Year's Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Veterans Day or Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed;

when it falls on Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed.

(4) Observance of holidays by Government personnel shall not be cause for additional period of performance of the contract.

(5) Observance of holidays by Government personnel shall not be cause for additional compensation and are not considered hours worked by the contractor. If the contractor's employee(s) work on a holiday, no form of holiday or other premium compensation will be reimbursed either as a direct or indirect cost to this contract.

Contractors are not authorized to “make up” hours worked to compensate for observance of holidays. Compensated personal absences from work for reasons such as illness, vacation, holidays, jury duty, military training, or personal activities are absences for which an employer pays compensation directly to an employee in accordance with an employer plan or customary practices of the employer. These benefits are generally a matter of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's representative).

If the contractor is required to work for mission critical requirements, the contractor will be notified by the Contracting Officer to perform work on the holiday and the work will be recognized as hours work and will be an allowable charge to the contract.

(c) Government Dismissals and Closures

The FBI may issue a dismissal for closure of the government offices during emergencies, severe weather conditions, natural disasters, and other incidents or hazards that cause disruptions to

Federal Government operations.

When the FBI issues a dismissal to its Government employees, assigned contractor personnel in

Government facilities shall also be dismissed. For the continuity of operations, contractor personnel are required to telework at an approved alternative worksite unless the contract does not allow telework. In those instances where telework is not allowed, the contractor agrees to continue to provide sufficient personnel to perform round-the-clock requirements of critical tasks already in operation or scheduled and shall be guided by the instructions issued by the Contracting Officer or his/her duly authorized Contracting Officer Representative.

(d) Firm Fixed Price contract deductions

For fixed-price contracts, if services are not required or provided because the building is closed due to inclement weather, unanticipated holidays declared by the President, failure of Congress to appropriate funds, or similar reasons, deductions will be computed as follows:

(1) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be equal to the per month contract price divided by 21 days per month.

(2) The deduction rate in dollars per day will be multiplied by the number of days services are not required or provided. If services are provided for portions of days, appropriate adjustment will be made by the contracting officer to ensure that the contractor is compensated for services provided.

(e) Furloughs

In the event the Government goes into furlough status, the Contracting Officer will provide notification to the Contractor to either 1) continue work or 2) that the Contractor is in a furlough status and should cease work until authorized to continue. The notification from the Contracting

Officer will not be provided to the contractor until the next business day following the government furlough status, no prior notifications will occur. If the contractor is authorized to continue work, the contractor is only authorized to continue work until such point that the period of performance of the contract has expired or all funding has been expended. The contractor is not authorized to perform services when funding is not available.

Contractors are not authorized to work during a furlough unless specifically directed to work by the Contracting Officer.

(f) Administrative Leave – Excusable Delays

If administrative leave is granted to contractor personnel as a result of conditions stipulated in any “Excusable Delays” clause of this contract, it will be without loss to the contractor. The cost of salaries and wages to the contractor for the period of any such excused absence shall be a reimbursable item of direct cost hereunder for employees whose regular time is normally charged, and a reimbursable item of indirect cost for employees whose time is normally charged indirectly in accordance with the contractor's accounting policy.

(B) Have □ have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public

(D) Have □, have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied. Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(1) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if a pending administrative or judicial challenge remains. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(2) 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) The Offeror has □ has not □, within a 3-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.
