If your company is already registered to use IPP, you will not be required to re-register.

If the Contractor is unable to comply with the requirement to use IPP for submitting invoices for payment as authorized by HHSAR 332.7002, a written request must be submitted to the Contracting Officer to explain the circumstances that require the authorization of alternate payment procedures.

d. Invoices that include time-and-materials or labor-hour line items must include supporting documentation to (1) substantiate the number of labor hours invoiced for each labor category, and (2) substantiate material costs incurred (when applicable).

e. Invoices that include cost-reimbursement line items must be submitted in a format showing expenditures for that month and contract cumulative amounts. At a minimum, the following cost information shall be included, in addition to supporting documentation to substantiate costs incurred:

Direct Labor – include all persons, listing the person's name, title, number of hours worked, hourly rate, the total cost per person, and a total amount for this category;

Indirect Costs (i.e., Fringe Benefits, Overhead, G&A, Other Indirects) – show rate, base, and total amount;

Consultants (if applicable) – include the name, number of days or hours worked, daily or hourly rate, and a total amount per consultant;

Contractor is required to attach an invoice log addendum to each invoice which shall include, at a minimum: (1) a list of all invoices submitted to date under the subject award, including invoice number, amount, and date submitted, as well as corresponding payment amount and date received; (2) total amount of all payments received to date under the subject contract or order; and (3) for definitized contracts or orders only, total estimated amounts yet to be invoiced for the current, active period of performance.

g. Payment of invoices will be made based upon acceptance by the Government of the entire task or the tangible product deliverable(s) invoiced. Payments shall be based on the Government certifying that satisfactory services were provided, and the Contractor has certified that labor charges are accurate.

h. If the services are rejected for failure to conform to the technical requirements of the Order, or any other contractually legitimate reason, the Contractor shall not be paid, or shall be paid an amount negotiated by the CO.

i. Payment to the Contractor will not be made for temporary work stoppage due to circumstances beyond the control of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration such as acts of God, inclement weather, power outages, or temporary closings of facilities at which Contractor personnel are performing. This may, however, be justification for excusable delays.

j. The Contractor agrees that the submission of an invoice to the Government for payment is a certification that the services for which the Government is being billed have been delivered in accordance with the hours shown on the invoices, and the services are of the quality required for timely and successful completion of the effort.

k. Questions regarding invoice payments that cannot be resolved by the IPP Helpdesk should be directed to the FDA Employee Resource and Information Center (ERIC) Helpdesk at 301- 827-ERIC (3742) or toll-free 866-807-ERIC (3742); or by email at ERIC@fda.hhs.gov.

Award will be made to the quoter whose quote is determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Quotes will first be evaluated for technical acceptability. Only those quotes determined to meet all technical requirements will be considered technically acceptable.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror's initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror's offer.
