We suggest requesting the contractor send a pencil copy of the invoice first.
When the Contractor formally submits the invoice, you will receive an automated notification indicating an invoice has been received. This notification will include some information that will be necessary to complete the required forms below, e.g.: vendor name, contract number and PDN, contracting officer email.
Review the invoice
- Confirm work and or products have been completed or received
- Confirm work and or products are part of the “scope of work” of the contract
- What Contract Line Item Number or CLIN or Sub-CLIN covers the work
- Confirm funding is available on the relevant CLIN or Sub-CLIN to pay the invoice
- Complete the required form below for your contract
Complete the required form(s)
Select and complete the appropriate form for your contract type:
Ensure the form(s) are fully completed and signed by you as the COR.
Communicate with your Contracting Officer
- If approving the invoice:
- Notify your CO - see the sample notification below
- Attach the completed GSA Form required and signed by you as the COR
- If rejecting the invoice:
- Notify your CO the invoice will be rejected and for what reason, so the invoice can be formally rejected
