The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The Government must exercise its post acceptance rights—

(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul/far-part-deviation-guide/far-overhaul-part-52

The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any dispute arising under the contract.

(f) Excusable delays. The Contractor shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence.

The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor’s records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (s)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

If this contract is completely or partially terminated, the records relating to the work terminated shall be made available for 3 years after any resulting final termination settlement. Records relating to appeals under the disputes clause or to litigation or the settlement of claims arising under or relating to this contract shall be made available until such appeals, litigation, or claims are finally resolved.

(3) As used in this clause, records include books, documents, accounting procedures and practices, and other data, regardless of type and regardless of form. This clause does not require the Contractor to create or maintain any record that the Contractor does not maintain in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to a provision of law.

SECTION 3 – OTHER INFORMATION

Updated Invoicing Instructions

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VENDORS/CONTRACTORS

DOT utilizes the Delphi eInvoicing web portal for processing invoices. Access to Delphi eInvoicing web portal is granted with electronic authentication of credentials (name & valid email address) utilizing the GSA credentialing platform login.gov. For vendors submitting invoices or payment requests, they will be required to submit invoices via the Delphi eInvoicing web portal which is authenticated via www.login.gov.

Vendors must meet the following minimum requirements to submit invoices through the Delphi eInvoicing web-portal:

1. Vendors shall have electronic internet access to register in the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) Login.gov and to the Delphi eInvoicing web portal;

2. Once notified by their agency POC, system users shall register with and create an account with GSA Login.gov. System users will provide his/her personal email address and receive an email back to confirm.

They will then create a password (Passwords must be at least 12 characters and should not include commonly used words or phrases) and input a telephone number and opt to receive either a personal call from Login.gov or text message with an authentication code;

3. Once the user is authenticated in Login.gov, he/she shall work with their agency POC to request access to the Delphi eInvoicing web portal. The POC will complete a Delphi eInvoicing web-portal User Access Request (UAR) to include the users full name, contact phone number, work e-mail address. Additionally, the agency POC will include the vendor name, purchase order (contract) numbers (or supplier number) and agency doing business with to complete and electronically submit the UAR for processing;

4. Once the UAR is submitted, it will be electronically approved by the Access Control Officer (ACO) assigned to OA associated with the contract award or grant and then forwarded to the Delphi eInvoicing helpdesk to create the account. Once the account is created an e-mail will be generated to the user with instruction on accessing their Delphi eInvoicing web portal account. An e-mail will also be sent to the agency POC who initiated the UAR. Users are required to log in to iSupplier (DELPHI) every 45 days to keep it active.

1252.232-70 Electronic Submission of Payment Requests. [(DEVIATION)(JULY 2026)] As prescribed in 1232.7005, insert the following clause:

Electronic Submission of Payment Requests (NOV 2022)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

(1) Contract financing payment has the meaning given in FAR 32.001.

(2) Payment request means a bill, voucher, invoice, or request for contract financing payment or invoice payment with associated supporting documentation. The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), “Content of Invoices,” this clause, and the applicable Payment clause included in this contract.

http://www.login.gov/

6923G226Q000001 PAGE 13 OF 14

(3) Electronic form means an automated system transmitting information electronically according to the accepted electronic data transmission methods and formats identified in paragraph (c) of this clause.

Facsimile, email, and scanned documents are not acceptable electronic forms for submission of payment requests.

(b) Electronic payment requests. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this clause, the contractor shall submit payment requests in electronic form.

(2) The name, address, telephone number of the Quoters;

(3) The Quoter’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and, if applicable, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator;

(4) Information necessary to evaluate the factors contained in the provision at 52.212-2 or as described in the solicitation;

(5) Responses to provisions that require Quoters completion of information, representations, and certifications (other than those collected via the System for Award Management (SAM)); and

(6) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and any solicitation amendments.

(b) Period for acceptance of offers. The Quoters agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 60 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Quoters 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) Quoters 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 Quoters. Therefore, the Quoter’s initial offer should contain the Quoter’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 post award debriefing is given to requesting Quoters, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

6923G226Q000001 PAGE 17 OF 14

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

(3) The overall ranking of all Quoters when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Quoters.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed Quoters as to whether the agency followed source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities.
