Question and Answer Document
W911QY-25-R-TSTS
22 April 2025
| Q 1. We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number? |
| A 1. While this is not a new requirement, there is no incumbent contractor currently performing these services. This requirement was last awarded as a contract in AUG 2015 with performance completed in OCT 2017. The previous contract number was W911QY-15-P-0390. |
Q 2. I’ve read through the many pages of 52.212 on the website and did not find any sort of terms regarding payment.
There’s rules about what should be on the invoice, and how it should be submitted, but there are no guarantees of payment, or how many days it will take from invoice receipt to payment. There are no guidelines regarding invoicing for pre-payment (or down-payment before work begins).
Without this I feel like there is no guarantee of payment, or guarantee of payment within a reasonable time-frame, or any instructions about how to collect an over due payment.
A 2. Regarding guarantees of payment and pre-payment (or down-payment before work begins):
The Government will pay for services after they are rendered. The Government will not provide pre-payment for future services nor contract financing for this requirement.
Please, reference clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Products and Commercial Services, which is incorporated in section (x) of the solicitation. Clause 52.212-4(i)(1) reads as follows: “Items accepted. Payment shall be made for items accepted by the Government that have been delivered to the delivery destinations set forth in this contract.”
Regarding Payment Terms:
The Government will offer NET 30 day payment terms starting after the receipt of a proper invoice, after which the Government will incur interest.
Clause 52.212-4(g)(2) reads as follows: “Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act ( 31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prompt payment regulations at 5 CFR Part 1315.” In 5 CFR Part 1315, 5 CFR 1315.4(g)(1)(iv) dictates the default payment terms are NET 30 days after receipt of a proper invoice.
NOTE: Statement of Work section 13 provides the Contractor shall invoice quarterly for all sessions completed or reimbursable expenses incurred during the prior quarter.
