INVOICING REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL CONTRACT AWARDS
The "Submit Invoice-to" address for USDA orders is the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). All invoices are to be submitted online via the electronic Invoice Processing Platform. 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. Your company must register at https://www.ipp.gov/vendors/enrollment-vendors.htm to establish an account in order to submit an invoice on any awarded contract.
Three sites provide information on contracting with the federal government:
- 1. The System for Award Management site, known as SAM, is where commercial vendors may search and retrieve opportunities solicited by the entire Federal contracting community, including the Forest Service.
