This updated notice provides another revised timeline for vendor/ contractor submission of invoices. IPP is a secure, web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury�s Bureau of the Fiscal Service. IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency. EPA is in the process of implementing this electronic invoicing system, and is using a phased approach to switch over current vendors and contractors on a rolling basis. The February 4th notice provided that only electronic invoices submitted via IPP would be accepted after June 30th, 2020. EPA is still transitioning vendors and contractors with existing contracts into IPP, and will continue to do so into the next fiscal year.� Your company will be notified via email from OAS when to start submitting invoices in IPP, so please do not send invoices via IPP for your existing contract until you have received this email notification. EPAAR clause 1552.232-70, Submission of Invoices, will be updated in EPA contracts with the May 2019 version that requires IPP invoicing. The contracting officer assigned to administer your current contract should be incorporating this revised clause in your EPA contract via a bi-lateral modification.� All new EPA contracts will include the May 2019 clause version.� Vendor Training Information on how to use IPP, including vendor training materials and a first-time login tutorial, is available on the 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 basics of the system, and to call in and ask the IPP team questions about the IPP application. Contact Information Phone support for IPP is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm ET, excluding bank holidays. The IPP Customer Support team is available during this time to provide user assistance and to answer any questions related to the IPP application. Questions about the IPP application can also be emailed to �IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov. For answers to frequently asked questions, visit the Vendor FAQ page on the IPP.gov Web site. If you have any question regarding IPP enrollment, please contact the IPP Customer Support Helpdesk via email: IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov �or by phone: (866) 973-3131. For contract-specific questions, please contact your contracting officer at the number provided in your contract.
