FBI-0023 Federal Bureau of Investigation Electronic Invoicing Requirement (JUL 2024) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) requires vendors to submit a proper invoice 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.

Invoice Submission: Vendors are required to create and submit electronic invoices using the IPP system. All supporting documentation shall be uploaded into the IPP system. Invoices must be submitted at least monthly but no more than bi-weekly. Final invoices must be submitted 30 days after the end date of the period of performance. Invoices submitted by email will not be accepted. This requirement applies immediately upon contract award. For contract-specific questions, please contact the Contracting Officer.

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-0030 Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCT 2024)

(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-0034 Use of Non-Government Advisors Offerors/Vendors are advised that the Government is supported by non-government acquisition specialists, who assist the Government in procurement actions. All proposal/quote information may be available to these non-government acquisition specialists; however, non-government acquisition specialists will not evaluate proposals or be part of the source selection evaluation board. All non-government acquisition specialists have signed non-disclosure agreements.

By submitting a quote, offer, task order proposal, etc. the Offeror/Vendor understands all proposal or quote information may be available to non-government acquisition specialists.
