Technical evaluation will be whether quoted items satisfy all requirements in CLINs 0001 thru 0003 descriptions below. This contract action for commercial items of supply incorporates DFARS 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests. The most common method of electronic submission of payment requests is by Wide Area Workflow (WAWF.) Options within WAWF include a, ?stand-alone? invoice and a ?combo? that includes both the payment request and the receiving document required to validate the object of the invoice has been received in an acceptable condition. The experience of this office in the administration of electronic invoices has shown that the use of the ?combo? invoice, when available, will result in much quicker more accurate payment. The matching by the WAWF system of invoices and receiving reports individually submitted by the vendor and the receiving activity routinely cause problems because they do not appear together and must be individually matched and then verified. The use of the ?combo? does not present this problem and avoids the attendant delays associated with matching. Self registration for the use of WAWF can be accomplished at https://wawf.eb.mil/index.html . Training on the use of WAWF for the submission of invoices is available on line at http://www.wawftraining.com.
