4.2 Invoicing Requirements

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) requires vendors to submit invoices and supporting documentation electronically through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).

IPP is a secure, web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Treasury) in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency. To learn more about IPP, please visit IPP.gov.

The following sections provide important information regarding FBI’s electronic invoicing requirements.

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.

Never submit an invoice to both IPP and Central Invoicing.

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.gov 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 (ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov):

• The first email contains the initial administrative IPP User ID

• The second email, sent within 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.

Live webinars are held monthly and provide a great opportunity to learn the basics of the system.

See IPP.gov for more details.

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

EST

• Phone: (866) 973-3131

4.6 Withholding of Contract Payments

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

5.0 Inverted Domestic Corporations

Section 743(a) of Division D of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, prohibits the Federal Bureau of Investigation from entering into any contract with any foreign incorporated entity which is treated as an inverted domestic corporation under Section 835(b) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. § 395(b)) or any subsidiary of such entity. This prohibition does not apply to contracts entered before March 11, 2009, or to any delivery orders issued pursuant to such contracts. The Attorney General shall waive prohibitions in the interest of national security.

The Contractor under this solicitation warrants that:

it is not a foreign incorporated entity that should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 395(b);

it is a foreign incorporated entity that should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 395(b), but it has submitted a request for waiver or plans to submit a request for waiver.

A copy of the approved waiver, if a waiver has been granted, or the waiver request, if a waiver has been applied for, shall be attached to the bid or proposal.

The Contractor warrants that if at any time after award it discovers it is a foreign incorporated entity that should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 395(b) and a waiver was not obtained, the Contractor shall make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. The Government may, however, terminate the contract at no cost to the Government.

5.1 Organization Conflicts of Interest - General

(a) The Contractor warrants that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise set forth in this contract, he does not have any organizational conflict of interest as defined in paragraph (b) below.

(b) The term "organizational conflict of interest" means a situation where a Contractor has interest, either due to its other activities or its relationship with other organizations, which place it in a position that may be unsatisfactory or unfavorable (1) from the Government's standpoint in being able to secure impartial, technically sound, objective assistance and advise from the Contractor, or in securing the advantages of adequate competition in its procurement; or (2) from industry's standpoint in that unfair competitive advantages may accrue to the Contractor in question.

(c) The Contractor agrees that, if after award he discovers an organizational conflict of interest with respect to this contract, he shall make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer which shall include a description of the action which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid, eliminate or neutralize the conflict. The Government may, however, terminate the contract for the convenience of the Government.

(c) In the event that the Contractor was aware of an organizational conflict of interest prior to the award of this contract and intentionally did not disclose the conflict to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract at no cost to the Government.

5.2 Technology Refreshment

The Government shall have the right to require, at any time, which the Contractor offer under this contract products, designs, or processes available to the Contractor’s commercial customers. In this way, the Government seeks to ensure that it can obtain the benefits of new enhancements and technological updates or advances for products currently on the contract. When requested or offered, the Contractor shall provide, within 30 calendar days of receipt of request, a refreshment proposal including the product, design, or process so identified.

In the event that the Contractor is no longer able to provide the products proposed because they are no longer being manufactured, for example, the Contractor may, with the Government’s approval, remove the products from the contract and shall provide substitute products which shall have the functional capabilities of the products originally provided and shall meet or exceed the original products rated performance characteristics.
