ATF-14 ELECTRONIC INVOICING (Revised October 27, 2008)

The invoice must clearly identify the specific Contract Line Item (CLIN) or item number for which the contractor is seeking payment under the contract/order. If the invoice covers multiple CLINs or item numbers, the invoice must clearly identify specific amounts and activity applicable to each.
Electronic invoices must be submitted to the ATF Contracting Officer's Representative (COR)/POC named in Section G/Section
3.3 of this contract and Financial Management Division (FMD), Finance.Branch@ATF.gov. Electronic invoices will serve as the official, original copy. The e-mail subject line must contain the name of the ATF COR/POC named in Section G/Section 3.3 of the obligation document, the Order/Award number, the Invoice number and Vendor name (i.e.: John Doe_DJAxxxxxxxxx_Invoice #xxx_ABC, Inc.). ATF will return to the vendor any invoices that do not contain the correct subject line information.
Contractors who are unable to submit electronic invoices may mail their invoices to the COR/POC named in Section G/Section 3.3 of this contract and FMD address provided below:

15A00025Q00000002 Page 11 of 48 pertinent details; provided, however, that this date shall be information only in character and that this provision shall not be construed as a waiver by the Government of any delivery schedule or date, or any rights or remedies provided by law or under this contract.
