INSTRUCTIONS FOR INVOICING

To invoice, a vendor must first enroll in the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) by visiting https://www.ipp.gov/vendors/index.htm. Once enrolled, all invoices must be submitted electronically through IPP. The IPP is a government-wide secure web-based payment information service offered free of charge to government agencies and their suppliers by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial

Management Service (FMS). One-time enrollment in IPP means that you will receive a series of e-mails from Treasury services. The first email will have the IPP Logon ID and link to the IPP application. A second e-mail, containing the password will be sent within 24 hours. Once you receive these emails, please login to the IPP application and complete the registration process.

Benefits of registering with IPP include the ability for your company to create invoices directly from a contract award and submit them electronically, as well as:

• E-mail notification when invoice(s) are paid

• Online payment history

• Remittance download

E-mail notifications of payments are sent when a payment is distributed to your bank account and will include all pertinent payment information. The IPP Customer Support Desk is available to assist users

Monday through Friday (excluding bank holidays) from 8:00AM - 6:00 PM ET, including answering any questions related to accessing IPP or completing the registration process. Their toll-free number is (866)

FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES-

(NOV 2021)

1. Price break down document

-or- An offeror proposed the “brand name” item to meet the requirements of the Government.

3. An offeror will effectively demonstrate the certified status as an Evoqua technician.

4. An offeror will have a least two references of successful past performance on other projects.

Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
