1. 1052.232-7003 Electronic Invoicing and Payment Requirements for the
Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) (Aug 2012)
The U.S. Department of the Treasury, Financial Managements Internet Payment
Platform (IPP) is a government-wide electronic payment information service that replaces the Payment Advice Internet Delivery (PAID) system. IPP allows vendors to receive their remittance information from their financial institution. Effective October
31, 2008, IPP replaced the PAID system. Former PAID users have been automatically migrated to IPP and need to complete the initial provisioning process from the new user
ID, temporary password, and web address sent by Treasury. This is necessary in order to log in to the IPP and view or download payment information. New vendors may register on-line at https://ipp.gov. For additional information, refer to the IPP Customer
Support at (866) 973-3131.
The IPP will continue to support the following notification services previously offered by PAID: Web access only to remittance data, no payment notification emails sent, payment notification without remittance detail, and payment notification with remittance detail. Users may select event-driven notifications and schedule the frequency. Vendors can only access their own payment data. IPP remittance information includes the following data: ACH trace number, supplier name, agency name, payment status, issue date, invoice number, PO number, invoice amount, discount amount, payment amount, bank name, and bank address. The IPP will collect payment data for 18 months, which will be available for search, display and download.
Payment information will be uploaded to the IPP daily from Treasury systems on the date of payment.

2. IR1052.204-9005 SUBMISSION OF SECURITY FORMS AND
RELATED MATERIALS (OCT 2015)
As described in Department of the Treasury Security Manual (TD P 15-71), Chapter I, Section 1, Position Sensitivity and Risk Designation, Contractor personnel assigned to perform work under an IRS contract/order/agreement must undergo security investigative processing appropriate to the position sensitivity and risk level designation associated to determine whether the Contractor (including subcontractor) personnel should be permitted to work in the identified position. The Contracting
Officer`s Representative (COR) (in the absence of the COR, the Contracting Officer
(CO)) shall work with the contractor to ensure that contractor (or subcontractor) employee is granted staff-like access to Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) information, IRS/contractor (including subcontractor) facilities, information system/asset that process/store SBU information without the required investigation.
For security requirements at contractor facilities using contractor-managed resources, please reference Publication 4812, Contractor Security Controls. The contractor shall grant staff-like access to IRS SBU information or information system/assets only to individuals who have received staff-like access approval (interim or final) from IRS
Personnel Security.
a. Contractor (including subcontractor) personnel performing under an agreement that authorizes staff-like access to and in IRS/contractor (including subcontractor) facilities, and access to SBU information or information systems are subject to (and must receive a favorable adjudication or affirmative results with respect to) the following eligibility/suitability pre-screening criteria, as applicable:
(1) IRS account history for tax compliance (for initial eligibility, as well as periodic checks for continued compliance while actively working on IRS contracts);
(2) Selective Service registration compliance;
(3) U.S. citizenship/lawful permanent residency compliance;
(4) Background investigation forms;
(5) Credit history;
(6) Federal Bureau of Investigation fingerprint results; and
(7) Prior federal government background investigations.
In this regard, Contractor shall furnish the following electronic documents to the
Contractor Security Management (CSM) at CSM@irs.gov within 10 business days (or shorter period) of assigning (or reassigning) an employee to this contract/order/agreement and prior to the contractor (including subcontractor) employee performing any work or being granted staff-like access to IRS SBU or
IRS/contractor (including subcontractor) facilities, information systems/assets that process/store SBU information thereunder:
? IRS provided Risk Assessment Checklist (RAC) Form 14606;
? Non-Disclosure Agreement (if contract terms grant SBU access); and, ? Any additional required security forms, which will be made available through
CSM and the COR.
b. Tax Compliance, Credit Checks and Fingerprinting:
1. Contractors (including subcontractors) whose duration of employment exceeds 180 days must meet the eligibility/suitability requirements for access and shall undergo a background investigation based on the assigned position risk designation as a condition of work under the Government contract/order/agreement.
2. If the duration of employment is less than 180 days or access is infrequent (i.e. 2 -3 days per month), and the contractor requires unescorted access, the contractor
(including subcontractor) employee must meet the eligibility requirements for access in
IRM 10.23.2.9, as well as a FBI Fingerprint result screening.
3. For contractor (including subcontractor) employees not requiring access to IT systems, a background investigation is not needed and will not be requested if a qualified escort, defined as an IRS employee or as a contractor who has been granted staff-like access, escorts a contractor meeting the conditions of number b.2 above at all times while the escorted contractor accesses IRS facilities and equipment.
The contractor (including subcontractor) employee will be permitted to perform under the contract/order/ agreement and have access to IRS facilities only upon notice of an interim or final approval, as defined in IRM 10.23.2 - Contractor Investigations, and is otherwise consistent with IRS security practices and related IRMs, to include, but not limited to, IRM 1.4.6 - Managers Security Handbook, IRM10.2.14 - Methods of
Providing Protection, and IRM 10.8.1 - Policy and Guidance.
The Associate Director, Personnel Security prior to completion of the full investigation, will grant interim staff-like access approval as follows:
a. Individuals who possess a current active U.S. Government security clearance for access to classified information may be granted interim staff-like access for positions after 1) the clearance is verified through the Joint Personnel Adjudication System
(JPAS), and 2) after favorable adjudication of pre-screening eligibility/suitability checks. Individuals with Top Secret clearance may be granted interim staff-like access approval to occupy positions designated at any risk level. Individuals with Secret or
Confidential clearances may be granted interim staff-like access approval to occupy positions designated Moderate or Low Risk.
b. Individuals not possessing a current or active U.S. Government security clearance for access to classified information or not possessing a prior Government personnel security investigation that meets the scope and criteria required for their position may be granted interim staff-like access approval upon receipt of all required contractor security forms, and favorable adjudication of pre-screening eligibility/suitability checks.
As prescribed in IRM 10.23.2, escorting in lieu of staff-like access for IT systems and access to SBU data (escorted or unescorted) will not be allowed.

(CSM) within 1 business day of the contractor (including subcontractor) becoming aware of any change in the employment status, information access requirement, assignment, or standing of a contractor (or subcontractor) employee under this contract or order - to include, but not limited to, the following conditions:
* Receipt of the employee`s notice of intent to separate from employment or discontinue work under this contract/order;
* Knowledge of the employee`s voluntary separation from employment or performance on this contract/order (if no prior notice was given);
* Transfer or reassignment of the employee and performance of duties under this contract/order, in whole or in part, to another contract/order (and if possible, identify the gaining contract/order and representative duties/responsibilities to allow for an assessment of suitability based on position sensitivity/risk level designation);
* Denial of or Revocation of Access (RAC) as determined by the IRS
* Separation, furlough or release from employment;
* Anticipated extended absence of more than 45 days;
* Change of legal name;
* Change to citizenship or lawful permanent resident status, or employment eligibility;
* Change in gender or other distinction when physical attributes figure prominently in the biography of an individual;
* Actual or perceived conflict of interest in continued performance under this contract/ order (provide explanation); or
* Death.
When required by the COR, the contractor may be required to provide the information required by this clause to the IRS using the RAC or security documents as identified by
CSM.
The notice shall include the following minimum information:
* Name of contractor employee;
* Nature of the change in status, assignment or standing (i.e., provide a brief non-personal, broad-based explanation);
* Affected contract/agreement/order number(s);
* Actual or anticipated date of departure or separation;
* When applicable, the name of the IRS facility or facilities this individual routinely works from or has access to when performing work under this contract/order;
* When applicable, contractor (including subcontractor) using contractor (or subcontractor) owned systems for work must ensure that their systems are updated to ensure employees no longer have continued access to IRS work, either for systems administration or processing functions; and
* Identification of any Government Furnished Property (GFP), Government
Furnished Equipment (GFE), or Government Furnished Information (GFI) (to include
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials or badges) provided to the contractor employee and its whereabouts or status.
In the event the subject contractor (including subcontractor) employee is working on multiple contracts, orders, or agreements, notification shall be combined, and the cognizant COR for each affected contract or order (using the Contractor Separation
Checklist (Form 14604 (Rev. 4-2015)) shall be included in the joint notification along with the CSM. These documents (the RAC and security forms) are also available by email request to CSM.
The vendor POC and the COR must ensure all badges, Smart Cards, equipment, documents, and other government furnished property items are returned to the IRS, systems accesses are removed, and Real Estate & Facilities Management is notified of federal workspace that is vacant.
As a general rule, the change in the employment status, assignment, or standing of a contractor (or subcontractor) personnel to this contract or order would not form the basis for an excusable delay for failure to perform under the terms of this contract, order or agreement.
