SUPPLIER SELF-SERVICE PILOT (DEVIATION 2016-A000l) (NOV 2015)
(1)This solicitation has been selected for possible inclusion in a pilot to test an alternate approach to electronic invoicing. Participation in this pilot is voluntary. The vendor portal, Supplier Self-Services (SUS), allows contractors to use pre- populated contract data to enter their invoices directly into a web-based user- interface for the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) in lieu of entering the data into Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) and having it interface the data to GFEBS. Access to the web-based user interface vendor portal will be via WAWF log on, which will route the user to GFEBS based on the assigned Pay Office to perform invoicing.
(2) Offerors shall indicate in their offer whether they want to be considered for participation in the pilot. This indication is in no way an evaluation factor for award. Each award resulting from a solicitation containing this provision shall, if the successful offeror has indicated the desire to be included in the pilot, be randomly assigned to either the pilot group or a control group.
