The document outlines payment instructions for contractors interacting with the Coast Guard, specifically detailing the procedures for submitting payment requests through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). Payments will be made via ACH to bank accounts linked to the contractor's Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), registered in SAM.gov. Contractors are required to submit invoices electronically after product or service delivery.
For first-time IPP registration, the designated Accounts Receivable point of contact must look for sign-up emails or contact Coast Guard Finance if they are not received. The instructions clarify the definition of a “payment request,” emphasizing compliance with FAR regulations and the inclusion of any discount or small business statuses.
While the default procedure is to use IPP for payment requests, alternate methods may be authorized by the contracting officer in writing, in which case the authorization must accompany the payment request. Key resources for support and enrollment in IPP are provided, ensuring that contractors can effectively manage invoicing and payment requisitions as part of federal procurement processes. This document is essential for compliance with federal grant and contract payment requirements.
