3. The COR shall review and verify invoices, sign the invoice, and return the invoice to the Contractor.

• Invoices for contracts awarded in FY22 or later will be processed in the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) or MarkView:

• IPP is a secure, web-based service that manages invoicing from award through payment notification.

• MarkView is an invoice imagining and approval system integrated with the Accounts Payable (AP) module in FSMS.

• Invoices for FY22 or later awards that meet an exemption or the KO has agreed to the vendor submitting invoices outside of IPP will be processed in MarkView after the vendor sends the invoice to the applicable email established by FINCEN (emails can be found on the FINCEN website).

If the vendor will be submitting invoices through IPP and:

• If there is a COR on the contract:

• Vendor will submit the invoice through IPP.

• The COR will be notified that there is an invoice for them to review in IPP.

• The COR will review the invoice, edit the distributions, if necessary, and approve/reject the invoice.

• If there are multiple distributions (LOAs) on a single CLIN, IPP will use a sequential method to distribute the funds to the 1st distribution until it is fully expended, then move on to the 2nd distribution until it is fully expended, and so on. If the invoice amounts should not be distributed in this manner, the COR can edit the distributions to apply the invoice amounts as needed.

• If the COR does not take action on the invoice within 3 days, a notification will be sent to the KO so the KO can take action on the invoice or work with the COR to get them to take action on the invoice.

• If the vendor will be submitting invoices through IPP and:

• Once the invoice is approved in IPP, it will be sent to FSMS.

• Once in FSMS, the invoice will go directly to the ACO(s) at FINCEN for final approval.

• The FINCEN ACO(s) will perform the final approval of the invoice and notification will be sent to Treasury to make payment to the vendor.

If the vendor will be submitting invoices directly to FINCEN for processing through MarkView and:

• If there is a COR on the contract:

• Vendor will submit the invoice directly to FINCEN via the applicable email.

• The FINCEN Accounting Technicians will reach out to the COR to provide matching guidance through the comment functionality in MarkView.

• Once they receive matching guidance, the FINCEN Accounting Technician will match the invoice to the award and send it to the COR for approval.

• COR will approve/reject the invoice.

• If approved, it will go to the ACO(s) at FINCEN for final approval.

• If rejected, it will go back to the vendor to make corrections or cancel.

• If the COR does not take action on the invoice within 3 days, a notification will be sent to the KO so the KO can take action on the invoice or work with the COR to get them to take action on the invoice.

NOTE: This functionality will not be available in MarkView at go live, but it is should be available soon after.

• The FINCEN ACO(s) will perform the final approval of the invoice and notification will be sent to Treasury to make payment to the vendor.

Who will the vendor work with if they have issues in IPP? For issues with IPP, the vendors will work directly with the IPP Help Desk.

• Toll-free number: 866-973-3131

• Email address: IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

• Hours of operation: Monday through Friday (excluding bank holidays) from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm ET

• FINCEN will send vendor information to IPP. If the vendor is already registered in IPP, they will not need to take any action.

If the vendor is not registered in IPP, they will get 2 emails from IPP with their user ID, password, and instructions on how to finish their registration.

Who will the vendor work with if they have issues with a payment? IPP will contain payment information that is sent from FSMS, but the IPP Help Desk will not be able to assist the vendor with the payment. Based on this, the vendor will need to work with the KO and FINCEN for payment issues.

• FINCEN Customer Service by phone: 757-523-6940

• FINCEN Customer Service by email: FIN-SMB-Customerservice@uscg.mill

• For additional contact information, please see the FINCEN Customer Service web page.

A copy of the invoice and any supporting documentation shall also be e-mailed to the following individuals:

Ryan.Dahl@uscg.mil and Timothy.M.Shuhart@uscg.mil

Invoices shall only include work that has been incorporated via contract modification. Only the Contracting Officer is able to authorize work and issue any modifications; therefore, payments will not be made for any work to which a modification has not been properly executed. Invoices submitted for payment that includes such a request will be reduced by the unmodified amount.

NOTE: 10% OF THE TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE WILL BE WITHHELD UNTIL ALL DELIVERABLES, REQUIRED BY THE

CONTRACT, ARE RECEIVED AND ACCEPTED.

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS WITH INVOICING:

In accordance with the Prompt Payment Act, for the purposes of determining a payment due date and the date on which interest will begin to accrue if a payment is late, a proper invoice shall be deemed to have been received:

(1) On the later of:

(i) For invoices electronically transmitted by the Contractor via web based submission, the date a transmission is received by the designated billing office, and receipt confirmation is provided to the designated recipient; or

(ii) The seventh day after the date on which the property is actually delivered or performance of the services is actually completed; unless—

The agency has actually accepted the property or services before the seventh day in which case the acceptance date shall substitute for the seventh day after the delivery date; or

A longer acceptance period is specified in the contract, in which case the date of actual acceptance or the date on which such longer acceptance period ends shall substitute for the seventh day after the delivery date.

(2) On the date of delivery, when the contract specifies that the delivery ticket may serve as an invoice.

(3) Web based submission by the Contractor and receipt confirmation does not reflect Government review or acceptance of the invoice.

All payments for partial performance rendered by the Government under this contract are based on the assumption that the Contractor will, in good faith, execute and honor all payment terms entered into between it, the Prime Contractor, and any subcontractor thereof in the performance of this contract. The Contractor hereby acknowledges the Government's right to reduce or suspend progress payments based on non-payment in accordance with any payment terms of the subcontract agreement.

Any amount deemed not payable will be deducted from the Contractor's invoice. Deducted amounts may be resubmitted on the next invoice for reconsideration.

Other supplemental information:

The Commanding Officer of the Cutter will pay all toll charges and applicable taxes and surcharges for long-distance telephone calls placed by ship's personnel. All other charges shall be borne by the Contractor.

ACCESSIBILITY OF CONTRACTOR'S FACILITY

The Contractor shall provide a facility accessible from a navigable waterway at which a ship of the characteristics described in the attached specification can, using its own propulsion, safely arrive, lie afloat and depart at all states of the tide and at any time day or night. The facility and its approaches shall have a minimum water depth of 8 feet and a minimum vertical clearance of 45 feet.

ACCESS TO VESSEL

(a) A reasonable number of officers, employees, and associates of the Government, or other prime Contractors with the Government, and their subcontractors, shall, as authorized by the Contracting Officer, have, at all reasonable times, admission to the plant, and access to vessel(s) to perform and fulfill their respective obligations to the Government on a noninterference basis. Work hours for the vessel will be discussed at the Arrival Conference. Any work performed outside of those hours will be allowed at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall make reasonable arrangements with the Government or Contractors of the Government, as shall have been identified and authorized by the Contracting Officer, to be given admission to the Contractor's facilities and access to the vessel(s) and to office space, work areas, storage or shop areas, or other facilities and services, necessary for the performance of their respective responsibilities and reasonable to their performance. All such above personnel shall be required to comply with all Contractor rules and regulations governing personnel at its shipyard, including those relative to safety and security.

(b) The Contractor further agrees, as authorized by the Contracting Officer, to afford to a reasonable number of officers, employees, and associates of bidders on other contemplated work, the same privileges of admission to the Contractor's plant and access to the vessel(s) on a noninterference basis subject to all Contractor rules and regulations governing personnel in its shipyard, including those relative to safety and security.

INDEMNIFICATION FOR ACCESS TO VESSELS

Records of all inspection work by the Contractor shall be kept complete and available to the Government during the term of this contract and for such longer period as may be specified elsewhere in this contract.

The name and telephone number of the U.S. Coast Guard Inspector will be provided after the award of a contract resulting from this solicitation.

GROWTH WORK

(a) The Contractor shall not perform growth work without the Contracting Officer's authorization. Growth work is work within the scope of the contract, which has not been previously priced as a pre-priced CLIN. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to contract for growth work on the basis of a negotiated, firm, fixed price, when it is in the best interest of the Government.
