CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

INVOICES & PAYMENTS

All invoices are to be submitted via the electronic Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) System. The "Submit Invoice-to" address for USDA orders is the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). The contractor must follow the instructions on how to register and submit invoices via IPP as prescribed in previous communications from USDA and Treasury.
This is a mandatory requirement initiated by the U.S. Department of Treasury and you can find more information at this website https://www.ipp.gov/index.htm. Ensure your company has registered at https://www.ipp.gov/vendors/enrollment-vendors.htm to establish your account. Offeror must have an established account prior to commencement of work. Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) does not allow for the contractor to change the description of the line items being invoiced against and therefore an itemized invoice must be uploaded as an attachment(s).
Itemized invoice shall include at a minimum:
Contractor Name & Address
Contract or Purchase Order numbers
Invoice Number
Description of Services or work completed
Date of services or completion.
