As prescribed in 832.1001, insert the following clause:
ELECTRONIC INVOICE SUBMISSION (Interim - OCT 2008)
(a) To improve the timeliness of payments and lower overall administrative costs, VA strongly encourages contractors to submit invoices using its electronic invoicing system. At present, electronic submission is voluntary and any nominal registration fees will be the responsibility of the contractor. VA intends to mandate electronic invoice submission, subject to completion of the federal rulemaking process. At present, VA is using a 3rd party agent to contact contractors regarding this service. During the voluntary period, contractors interested in registering for the electronic system should contact the VA’s Financial Services Center at http://www.fsc.va.gov/einvoice.asp.
