UPDATED INVOICE SUBMITTAL / PAYMENT PROCESS

In conjunction with the subject award, proper invoices will be submitted through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) at https://www.ipp.gov/. IPP is a secure web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency.

Actions to take:

If you are already enrolled in IPP:

If your company is already registered to use IPP, you will not be required to re-register and you do not need to contact IPP.

If you are NOT already enrolled in IPP:

The point of contact you provided in your SAM.gov registration will receive two emails from ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov. Please note that emails from this email address may filter into your spam or junk folder:

1. The first email will have the IPP Logon ID and a link to the IPP application.
2. A second email, which will be sent within 24 hours of the first email, contains a temporary password.

Once your contact receives these emails, please ensure they log into IPP and complete the registration process.

Once registered to use IPP, your company may submit invoices electronically, receive e-mail notifications when requests are paid, view payment history, and access remittance downloads. The e-mail notification of payment is sent when a payment is distributed to your bank account and may include the following payment information: Date of payment, dollar amount, invoice number, paying agency, payee name, and ACH trace number.

Vendor training materials, including a first time login tutorial, are available on the https://www.ipp.gov/ website. Once you have logged in to the IPP application, you will have access to user guides that provide step-by-step instructions for all IPP capabilities, ranging from creating and submitting an invoice to setting up email notifications. Live webinars are held monthly and provide a great opportunity to learn the basic of the system and to call in and ask the IPP team questions about the IPP application.

IPP Customer Support is available to assist users of the system and can answer your questions related to accessing IPP or completing the registration process.

CHANGE FROM DUNS TO UEI (UNIQUE ENTITY IDENTIFIER)

• As of April 4, 2022, the DUNS will no longer be used, for old or new documents.
  • It will not be available for searches, even on older documents
• The UEI will replace the DUNS.
  • The UEI is a GSA generated ID.

What's the difference between the DUNS and the UEI?

The DUNS is a 9 digit identifier provided by Dunn and Bradstreet. The UEI is a GSA provided 15 character (letters and numbers) identifier.

Where does the vendor get a UEI?

SAM.gov

Previously if a vendor qualified for a SAM exception under FAR 4.1102(a) the vendor would still have to get a DUNS number, what do they do now?

If a vendor qualifies for a SAM exception under FAR 4.1102(a) they will be required to obtain a UEI. The vendor must go to SAM.gov to get the UEI but will not have to register if they qualify for the FAR exception.
