(b) The following requirements govern all solicitations and contracts using incremental funding, as appropriate:          (1) The contracting officer shall consider the estimated total cost of the contract, including all planned increments of performance when determining the requirements that must be met before contract execution (e.g., Justification and Approvals, clearances, and approvals).          (2) The solicitation and resultant contract shall include a statement of work or performance work statement that describes the total project, covers all proposed increments of performance, and contains a schedule of planned increments of performance. No funding increment may exceed 1 year, and the services rendered during each increment of performance must provide a specific material benefit that can stand alone if the remaining effort is not funded. The resultant contract shall also include the corresponding amount of funds planned for obligation for each increment of performance.          (3) The contracting officer shall request that offerors respond to the solicitation with technical and cost proposals for the entire project, and shall require distinct technical and cost break-outs of the planned increments of performance.          (4) Proposals shall be evaluated and any discussions and negotiations shall be conducted based upon the total project, including all planned increments of performance.332.703-71 Incrementally funded cost-reimbursement contracts.

(a) The contracting officer shall insert substantially the following language in Section B: Supplies or Services and Prices or Costs, Table 1, in all cost-reimbursement contracts for severable services using incremental funding. The language requires the contracting officer to:          (1) Insert the initial funding obligated by the award;          (2) Identify the increment of performance covered by the funding provided; and          (3) Specify the start and end dates for each increment of performance, as required by the “Limitation of Funds” clause at FAR 52.232-22.          (b) Modification of the language is permitted to fit specific circumstances of the contract, including but not limited to language necessary to reflect the specific type of cost reimbursement contract awarded, but the language may not be omitted completely.

This subpart prescribes policies and procedures for electronic submission and processing of payment requests.332.7001 Definitions.       *Payment request,* as used in this subpart, is defined as a bill, voucher, invoice, or request for contract financing payment with associated supporting documentation. The payment request must comply with the requirements identified in FAR 32.905(b), Content of invoices, and the applicable Payment clause included in this contract.332.7002 Policy.       (a) Contracts shall require the electronic submission of payment requests, except for -          (1) Purchases paid for with a Government-wide commercial purchase card; and          (2) Classified contracts or purchases when electronic submission and processing of payment requests could compromise classified information or national security.          (b) Where a contract otherwise requires the electronic submission of invoices, the Contracting Officer may authorize alternate procedures only if the Contracting Officer makes a written determination that:          (1) The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is unable to receive electronic payment requests or provide acceptance electronically;          (2) The contractor has demonstrated that electronic submission would be unduly burdensome; or          (3) The contractor is in the process of transitioning to electronic submission of payment requests, but needs additional time to complete such transition. Authorizations granted on the basis of this paragraph (b)(3) must specify a date by which the contractor will transition to electronic submission.          (c) Except as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, HHS officials shall process electronic payment submissions through the Department of the Treasury Invoice Processing Platform or successor system.          (d) If the requirement for electronic submission of payment requests is waived under paragraph (a)(2) or (b) of this section, the contract or alternate payment authorization, as applicable, shall specify the form and method of payment request submission.332.7003 Contract clause.       Except as provided in 332.7002(a), use the clause at 352.232-71, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests, in all solicitations and contracts.
