2011-23958. Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Material Inspection and Receiving Report (DFARS Case 2009-D023)

AGENCY:

Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), Appendix F, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, to incorporate new procedures for using the electronic Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) Receiving Report.

DATES:

Effective date: September 20, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Julian Thrash, telephone 703-602-0310.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

DoD published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (75 FR 56961) on September 17, 2010, to amend DFARS Appendix F, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, to provide new coverage on the use, preparation, and distribution of the electronic WAWF receiving report, which is the primary method for documenting acceptance of supplies and services and for electronic invoicing. The rule also addressed WAWF capability to provide the following:

Item Unique Identification (IUID). When the clause at DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation, is used in the contract and requires reporting of IUID data, WAWF captures the IUID data and forwards the data to the IUID registry after acceptance. WAWF may be used to report Unique Item Identifiers (UIIs) at the line item level and also UIIs embedded at the line item level.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). When the clause at DFARS 252.211-7006, Radio Frequency Identification, is used in the contract, WAWF will capture the RFID information and forward the data to the receiving location.

Using WAWF is the only way a contractor can comply with the clause to furnish RFID data via an Advance Shipping Notice. Insertion of the new WAWF coverage into Appendix F necessitates relocating and renumbering existing coverage for use, preparation, and distribution of the DD Form 250 Material Inspection and Receiving Report, and the DD Form 250-1 Tanker/Barge Material Inspection and Receiving Report.

II. Discussion and Analysis

In response to the proposed rule, DoD received comments from five respondents. A discussion of the comments follows.

A. Revise F-103, WAWF RR and DD Form 250

Comment: Two respondents suggested changing the text at F-103(b)(2) for the transfer of Government property using the property transfer function. Another respondent recommended adding where training for the preparation of document types is available.

Response: These recommendations are incorporated into the final rule.

B. Limitation on the Quantity of Embedded Items in WAWF

Comment: A respondent asked if there was a limit on the quantity of embedded items at the line item level that may be reported in WAWF.

Response: A quantity limit of 100 embedded items currently exists in the software capability, however, this limit Start Printed Page 58123is subject to change in future versions of WAWF.

C. F-103(e)(2), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Comment: A respondent suggested adding clarification on the use of RFID information.

Response: As suggested, paragraph F-103(e)(2) is revised to clarify that the RFID information can be added either at submission or via the “WAWF Pack Later” functionality.

D. F-104, Application

Comment: A respondent asked about the meaning of “consigned to” at F-104(a)(4) and for clarification regarding use of a continuation sheet. The respondent stated that they have no control over how the continuation sheet appears or prints from WAWF.

Response: The phrase “consigned to” is the one to whom a line item is given, transferred, or delivered for control. In regard to use of a continuation sheet, the format printed out from WAWF will suffice as long as the required contractor information is entered.

E. F-301, Preparation Instructions—General Comments

Comment: Two respondents suggested, at paragraph F-301(a)(1), replacing “contractor” with “vendor” to be consistent with the label used on the training Web site provided in the proposed rule. A respondent suggested: (1) Revising F-301(a)(2) to reflect the creation of an extension to the prime Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE); (2) replacing, at paragraph F-301(a)(4), “official DoD sites” with “DoD definitive sources”; (3). adding text at paragraph F-301(b)(1)(iii) to clarify that comments in the miscellaneous information tab will appear in the comments section of the printed WAWF receiving report; (4). changing, at paragraph F-301(b)(1)(iv), “DoD contract number” to “DoD contract number and delivery order number”; and, (5) updating paragraph F-301(b)(3) to correctly refer to the data field as “Estimated” and reflect that data entry is a drop-down box.

Response: The final rule is revised to incorporate these recommendations.

F. Inclusion of Shipping Documents

Comment: A respondent requested at paragraph F-301(b)(2)(i), SHIPMENT NO., that contractors must always provide packaging documentation in their shipment containers. If contractors choose to provide their own packaging documentation they must ensure their documentation includes their shipment number data. The respondent recommended the addition of a statement that any document utilized as a packing list must include the shipment number information. Additionally, the respondent suggested revising the text with an example to clarify that the shipment number format requires first three data positions to be alpha, fourth position alpha-numeric and last three positions are numeric e.g., DFAR001 or DAR0001.

Response: The recommendations are incorporated into the final rule.

Comment: A respondent requested at paragraph F-301(b)(3), Date Shipped, that a “MIRR clause does not identify electronic data submission timeline.” The respondent recommended the DFARS MIRR language include the statement that the contractor will submit the completed MIRR via WAWF within one business day of material shipment. The respondent stated that material shipments missing shipment numbered data causes manual research in order to process the receipt acceptance.

Response: The MIRR is completed at the time of delivery of goods or services and, for both WAWF and paper DD form 250s, copies of the MIRR accompany the shipment. Paragraph F-301(b)(3) is revised to add a reference to “see F-303).”

Comment: A respondent requested at paragraph F-305, Invoice instructions, adding a statement that contractors should ensure the packaging documentation includes a Government signed receiving report when the contract requires origin inspection and acceptance. The respondent further stated that contractors must include the signed document indicating material receipt acceptance has occurred in the container with the exception of material shipments that are approved for Alternate Release Procedures.

Response: The final rule is revised to incorporate the recommendations.

G. F-301(b)(4)—Bill of Lading Information

Comment: A respondent stated, at paragraph F-301(b)(4)(i), that bills of lading are obtained when an item is being scheduled to ship, and thus may not be available until after the item has been source inspected/accepted. The respondent recommended clearly stating that the field is not required prior to source inspection and acceptance, nor, in their opinion, should a receiving report correction be issued only for adding a bill of lading after it has been obtained. Further, the respondent suggested revising F-301(b)(4), to enter the commercial or Government bill of lading number after “BL.”

Response: Currently, the “Bill of Lading Number” field is not a mandatory field in WAWF. Additional changes to the Bill of Lading functionality may be made later on.

H. Line Haul Information Changes

Comment: One respondent suggested at paragraph F-301(b)(5), Line Haul Mode, that this is an item that may not be stated accurately until after signature, when the item is scheduled for shipment, and recommended that this field not be required prior to source inspection/acceptance.

Response: There is flexibility in WAWF regarding this entry as “Line Haul Mode” field is not a mandatory field.

I. Allow for WAWF Acceptance at “Other” Using Code “D”

Comment: Two respondents suggested that paragraph F-301(b)(6), Inspection and Acceptance Point, be changed from “WAWF allows acceptance at Other” to “WAWF allows acceptance at Other (O).” Two respondents suggested adding, that for purposes of conforming to contract, “0” is equivalent to “D”.

Response: The final rule is revised to incorporate the recommendations.

J. Marked for Codes

Comment: A respondent suggested at paragraphs F-301(b)(7), Prime Contractor/Code, F-301(b)(9), Shipped From/Code, and F-301(b)(11), Payment Will Be Made By/Code, that these codes must match the contract, however, the street address is not required to match the contract. The respondents further opined that WAWF does not require the entry of an address code in either WAWF 4.2 or 5.0, and concluded that the requirement of an address should be clarified.

Response: No clarification is needed in the rule. Contractors can fulfill contracts with shipments from their location or from subsidiaries or subcontractors. Therefore, the shipped from code doesn't necessarily need to match the contract. Further, the receiving report is used for services as well as supplies where there will be no ship-from code.

Comment: One respondent requested clarification at paragraph F-301(b)(13), Marked For/Code, concerning the “Marked For Address.” Previously, textual marking information associated with the “Marked For DoDAAC” was placed in the address lines of the “Marked For DoDAAC.” Now that DoD is moving away from paper documents, the respondent wanted confirmation to Start Printed Page 58124use the data fields as labeled using the code area for the “Marked For DoDAAC” and address only, and the “Mark For Rep” and “Mark For Secondary” fields used for the text information.

Response: The respondent is correct concerning use of these fields. No change to the rule is required.

K. Marked for Codes

Comment: A respondent requested revisions at paragraph F-301(b)(13) to reflect that a “Marked For Code” cannot be a CAGE code, only a DoDAAC or Military Assistance Program Address Codes.

Response: No revision is required in response to this comment since a CAGE code can be entered in the “Mark For Code” field.

L. National Stock Number Entry Requirements

Comment: A respondent recommended at paragraph F-301(b)(15)(1)(A) clarifying that in the “Type” drop-down field, that the user is to select the corresponding type for the data entered, and that if no National Stock Number or other valid “Type” is available, the word “None” may be entered for the Stock/Part Number, with a corresponding “Type” of any value other than the National Stock Number selected from the drop-down box. Another respondent stated that if the contract contains NSNs as well as other identification (e.g., part numbers), a contractor should place the NSN information in the Stock Part Number field and the remaining numbers in the line item description field.

Response: The paragraph is revised accordingly to incorporate the first recommendation. In regards to the second comment concerning NSNs as well as other identifying information, the respondent is correct in how this process works. The text is revised to ensure this meaning is understood.

M. The “Description” Field Length and Use

Comment: A respondent asked whether or not at paragraph F-301(b)(15)(ii), if exceeding 20 characters in the description field is a cause for the rejection of a receiving report. Further, the respondent requested clarification on whether or not the description refers to what is defined in the payment system as a “service” line item as opposed to a “supply” line item. A WAWF RR for a repair is for acceptance of the repair and not of the item repaired. However, repair line items are frequently defined as “supply” line items and therefore the ship-to location is the actual ship-to of the repaired item.

Response: Exceeding 20 characters in the description is not a cause for rejection of a receiving report. In response to the second comment, the respondent is correct that the description refers to the designation in the payment system as a “service” line item as opposed to a “supply” line item.

N. GFP Drop-Down Box

Comment: A respondent suggested that clarification at paragraph F-301(b)(15)(iv)(E) is required for how the text relates to the GFE drop-down box, and whether or not the drop-down box is insufficient for this situation. The correct use of GFE drop-down box needs to be fully explained. If it is not the same as the entry of “GFP” in the description text, the differences must be clarified.

Response: The drop-down GFE box is not related to this section. It is obsolete and no longer used and will be deleted in a future version of WAWF. The GFP drop-down box is sufficient for use of GFP.

O. F-301—General Comments Regarding Unit Price

Comment: Two respondents stated that at paragraph F-301(b)(18), the proposed text is identical to that used in the current Appendix F for unit price (see F-301, block 19, on current Appendix F). They further stated that this document will never be used as an invoice; thus, in their opinion, there should not be a requirement to fill in a unit price, except in the cases listed. Further, one respondent recommended at paragraph F-301(b)(18)(i) the addition of the text to clarify the handling of unit prices and property transfer. Another respondent had a concern with unit prices that were as little as twenty cents and not being accepted by the Government agency. This respondent also noted that an estimated price can be entered in the description field, but the Government contracting office expects the price entered in the price field, even though WAWF does not accept the entry the way the agency had requested. The respondent went on to state that the DFARS does not address the electronic aspect of WAWF and billing.

Response: The unit price is required. In regard to the intent of the paragraph on the WAWF initiated property transfer, the purpose is to alert the contractor that a property transfer will be generated as a result of the completion of the WAWF RR. In regard to the unit price, it is required when the clause at DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation, is used; otherwise the use of the field is optional and at the discretion of the vendor. When used for item unique identification, the unit price does not necessarily reflect the billing price on the contract. The DFARS addresses electronic billing at 252.232.7003, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports. No change in the rule is required in response to these comments.

P. F-301—General Comments Regarding Contract Quality Assurance

Comment: One respondent suggested at paragraph F-301(b)(20)(ii), that the term “execute” is misleading and will cause confusion. The respondent also stated that removing the quotation marks will ensure a clear direction. The respondent further suggested at paragraphs F-301(b)(20)(iv)(A)(3) and (v) the steps described should match the actual step taken in WAWF to electronically sign the document and recommended the text be revised.

Response: The quotation marks used for the term “execute” are removed. In regard to the electronic signatures, the text has been revised accordingly to match the actual steps taken in WAWF.

Q. Comment Regarding F-301(b)(21)

Comment: One respondent suggested paragraph F-301(b)(21) should be referenced as the COMMENTS block and/or MISC INFO tab.

Response: The title is revised to incorporate “MISC. INFO” as suggested.

R. Printed Documents

Comment: One respondent recommended at paragraph F-306(b), that the text be revised to clarify that if a signed copy is required by the contractor, the contractor will print the WAWF RR only after a signature is applied by the Government Inspector or Acceptor in WAWF.

Response: This text is revised accordingly to incorporate the suggestion.

S. Part 4—General Comments

Comment: One respondent stated that in Part 4 there are multiple references to section F-301 and recommended, where appropriate, the references be updated to the corresponding F-401 reference. The respondent also suggested that at paragraph F-401(b)(2), “Starting over with 0001” cannot be used in an electronic world, and that the DD Form 250 needs to conform to the same requirement (F-301(b)(2)) as the WAWF RR.

Response: Part 4 references in the final rule are updated as required. In Start Printed Page 58125regard to shipment numbering, the system will not allow the shipment number to start over with 0001 as any duplication of the combined contract number, delivery order number, and shipment number results a duplication error. In these cases, WAWF requires a change in the shipment number prefix. While on a paper DD Form 250, it is possible to start over with 0001 when the series is completely used, a change in the shipment number prefix should be required for consistency. The text at F-401(b)(2) is revised to clarify this process.

T. Part 5 Comments

Comment: A respondent commented on Part 5 concerning the “alternate” release procedure. The respondent noted that all other references in the document are to “alternative” release procedure, and would like to know which is correct.

Response: The final rule is revised in Part 5 to refer to “alternative” in lieu of “alternate.”

U. WAWF Versions

Comment: A respondent stated there are a number of changes incorporated in the latest WAWF release that impact MIRR data entry. The respondent noted that changes include removal of “other” as an acceptance point and replacing it with more specific data entries for inspection, acceptance, and ship to DoDAAC codes.

Response: There is no need to change paragraph F-301(b)(6) as “Other” will remain an option for the inspection and acceptance point. DoD adopted business rules regarding the inspection, acceptance, and ship-to fields but kept the source, destination, and other inspection and acceptance points. Therefore, no change is necessary.

V. General Comments

Comment: One respondent stated that Appendix F addresses the use of the MIRR in WAWF, yet multiple types of receiving and performance transactions exist. Examples include:

○ Receiving Report.

○ Receiving Report—COMBO.

○ Invoice 2-in-1 (Services Only).

Response: Appendix F only provides instruction for use of the MIRR. Invoice 2-in-1 (services only) is used to document acceptance of services when a MIRR is not required. The COMBO transaction in WAWF allows for the vendor to do one set of data entry that is split in the system into both a receiving report, identical to the non-COMBO receiving report, and an invoice. The instructions for the data entry in the COMBO are the same as the data fields for the receiving report.

Comment: A respondent suggested at paragraph F-301 rewording to state that Electronic Document Access (EDA) will automatically populate all available and applicable contract data.

Response: This change is incorporated at F-301(a)(3) in the final rule.

Comment: A respondent stated that they had received multiple rejections of receiving reports due to a formatting issue. In one case, the receiving report was rejected due to a dash being dropped out of the line item stock number upon loading to WAWF. In the respondent's opinion, the missing dash should not be a reason for rejection. The respondent requested adding specific language to F-301(b)(15) to indicate that missing dashes are acceptable in the line item stock number.

Response: The respondent indicates a dash was missing from the part number. This changes the item identification significantly. There are no known concerns with the National Stock Number functionality.

III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, dated September 30, 1993. This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act

DoD does not expect this final rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. The final rule provides guidance on the preparation and use of the electronic WAWF Receiving Report which is now required for use in most contracts. Additionally, the rule addresses the WAWF capability and instructions to comply with reporting requirements for IUID and RFID data submissions. DoD has prepared a Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, which is summarized as follows:

The objective of the rule is to facilitate maximum use of WAWF by providing detailed guidance. DFARS Subpart 232.70, Electronic Submission and Processing of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports, prescribes policies for submitting and processing payment requests in electronic form to comply with 10 U.S.C. 2227, Electronic Submission and Processing of Claims for Contract Payments. WAWF is the DoD system for contractors to submit payment and receiving reports in an electronic format. This final rule affects all DoD contractors who are not exempt from using WAWF. Exempt classes of contracts are those that are listed under the seven categories of contracts at DFARS 232.7002, Policy. Record keeping required is limited to that necessary to properly invoice and record shipping and receiving information under Government contracts. The preparation of these records requires clerical and analytic skills to create the documents and input them into the electronic WAWF system.

The rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any other Federal rules. There are no known significant alternatives to the rule that would meet the requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2227, Electronic Submission and Processing of Claims for Contract Payments. Any impact on small business is expected to be beneficial by providing detailed use, preparation and distribution guidance for electronic submission in lieu of preparing and submitting paper invoices and receiving records.

V. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) applies. The Appendix F information collection requirements in this rule are approved under Office of Management and Budget Control Number 0704-0248, DFARS Appendix F, Material Inspection and Receiving Report. The current approval took into consideration use of the automated WAWF system, so inclusion of the WAWF guidance into Appendix F adds no new information collection requirements.

Part 1—Introduction

F-101 General.

(a) This appendix contains procedures and instructions for the use, preparation, and distribution of the Wide Area WorkFlow Receiving Report (WAWF RR), the DD Form 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report (MIRR) and (DD Form 250 series equivalents) and commercial shipping/packing lists used to document Government contract quality assurance.

(b) The use of the DD Form 250 is on an exception basis (see DFARS 232.7003(a)) because use of the WAWF RR is now required by most DoD contracts. WAWF provides for electronic preparation and documentation of acceptance of supplies and services, and electronic invoicing. In addition WAWF allows the printing of a RR that can be used as a packing list or when a signed copy is required.

F-102 Applicability.

(a) DFARS 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports, requires payment requests and receiving reports using WAWF in nearly all cases.

(b) The provisions of this appendix also apply to supplies or services acquired by DoD when the clause at DFARS 252.246-7000, Material Inspection and Receiving Report, is included in the contract.

(c) When DoD provides quality assurance or acceptance services for non-DoD activities, prepare a MIRR using the instructions in this appendix, unless otherwise specified in the contract.

F-103 Use.

(a) The WAWF RR and the DD Form 250 are multipurpose reports used—

(1) To provide evidence of Government contract quality assurance at origin or destination;

(2) To provide evidence of acceptance at origin, destination, or other;

(3) For packing lists;

(4) For receiving;

(5) For shipping;

(6) As a contractor invoice (the WAWF RR or DD Form 250 alone cannot be used as an invoice, however the option exists to create an invoice from the Receiving Report or a Combo (Invoice and Receiving Report) both of which minimize data entry); and

(7) As commercial invoice support.

(b) Do not use the WAWF RR or the DD Form 250 for shipments—

(1) By subcontractors, unless the subcontractor is shipping directly to the Government; or

(2) Of contract inventory. The WAWF Property Transfer document should be used for this type of shipment. Training for the preparation of this document type is available at https://wawftraining.eb.mil, under the Property Transfer and Receipt section.

(c) The contractor prepares the WAWF RR or the DD Form 250, except for entries that an authorized Government representative is required to complete. When using a paper DD Form 250, the contractor shall furnish sufficient copies of the completed form, as directed by the Government representative.

(d) Use the DD Form 250-1:

(1) For bulk movements of petroleum products by tanker or barge to cover—

(i) Origin or destination acceptance of cargo; or

(ii) Shipment or receipt of Government owned products.

(2) To send quality data to the point of acceptance in the case of origin inspection on FOB destination deliveries or preinspection at product source. Annotate the forms with the words “INSPECTED FOR QUALITY ONLY.”

(e) In addition to the above uses, the WAWF RR provides additional functionality, not provided by the paper DD Form 250 that complies with the following requirements:

(1) Item Unique Identification (IUID), when the clause at DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation, is used in the contract, reporting of IUID data is required. WAWF captures the IUID data and forwards the data to the IUID registry after acceptance. WAWF can be used to report Unique Item Identifiers (UIIs) at the line item level and also UIIs embedded at the line item level.

(2) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), when the clause at DFARS 252.211-7006, Radio Frequency Identification, is used in the contract, WAWF will capture the RFID information and forward the data to the receiving location. Using WAWF is the only way a contractor can comply with the clause to furnish RFID data via an Advance Shipping Notice (ASN). The RFID information may be added at time of submission, or via the WAWF Pack Later functionality after acceptance.

F-104 Application.

(a) WAWF RR and DD Form 250.

(1) Use the WAWF RR or DD Form 250 for delivery of contract line, subline, exhibit line, or exhibit subline items. Do not use the WAWF RR or DD Form 250 for those exhibit line or exhibit subline items on a DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List, which indicate no DD Form 250 is required.

(2) If the shipped to, marked for, shipped from, mode of shipment, contract quality assurance and acceptance data are the same for more than one shipment made on the same day under the same contract, contractors may prepare one WAWF RR or DD Form 250 to cover all such shipments.

(3) If the volume of the shipment precludes the use of a single car, truck, or other vehicle, prepare a separate WAWF RR or DD Form 250 for the contents of each vehicle.

(4) When a shipment is consigned to an Air Force activity and the shipment includes items of more than one Federal supply class (FSC) or material management code (MMC), prepare a separate WAWF RR or DD Form 250 for items of each of the FSCs or MMCs in the shipment. However, the cognizant Government representative may authorize a single WAWF RR or DD Form 250, listing each of the FSCs or MMCs included in the shipment on a separate continuation sheet. The MMC appears as a suffix to the national stock number applicable to the item.

(5) Consolidation of Petroleum Shipments on a Single WAWF RR or DD Form 250.

(i) Contiguous United States. Contractors may consolidate multiple car or truck load shipments of petroleum made on the same day, to the same destination, against the same contract line item, on one WAWF RR or DD Form 250. To permit verification of motor deliveries, assign each load a load number which can be identified to the shipment number in Block 2 of the DD Form 250. Include a shipping document (commercial or Government) with each individual load showing as a minimum—

(A) The shipper;

(B) Shipping point;

(D) Contract and line item number;

(E) Product identification;

(F) Gross gallons (bulk only);

(G) Loading temperature (bulk only);

(H) American Petroleum Institute gravity (bulk only);Start Printed Page 58127

(I) Identification of carrier's equipment;

(J) Serial number of all seals applied; and

(K) Signature of supplier's representative.

When acceptance is at destination, the receiving activity retains the shipping document(s) to verify the entries on the consignee copy of the DD Form 250 forwarded by the contractor (reference F-401, Table 1) before signing Block 21b.

(ii) Overseas. The same criteria as for contiguous United States applies, except the consolidation period may be extended, if acceptable to the receiving activity, shipping activity, Government finance office, and the authorized Government representative having cognizance at the contractor's facility. In addition, the contractor may include more than one contract line item in each WAWF RR or DD Form 250 if the shipped to, marked for, shipped from, mode of shipment, contract quality assurance, and acceptance data are the same for all line items.

(6) Consolidation of Coal Shipments on a Single WAWF RR or DD 250. Contractors may consolidate multiple railcar or truck shipments of coal made on the same day, to the same destination, against the same contract line items, on one WAWF RR or DD 250. To permit verification of truck deliveries, assign each load a load number which can be identified to the shipment number in Block 2 of the DD Form 250 and the analytical test report. Include a commercial shipping document with each individual truck load showing as a minimum—

(i) The shipper;

(ii) The name or names;

(iii) Location and shipping point of the mine or mines from which the coal originates;

(iv) The contract number;

(v) The exact size of the coal shipped; and

(vi) A certified weighmaster's certification of weight for the truckload.

Include a waybill with each rail shipment showing the identical information. To permit verification of rail deliveries, identify each railcar number comprising the shipment to the shipment number in Block 2 of the DD Form 250 and the analytical test report. When acceptance is at destination, the receiving activity must retain the shipping document(s) to verify the entries on the consignee copy of the DD Form 250.

(b) DD Form 250-1.

(1) Use a separate form for each tanker or barge cargo loaded.

(2) The contractor may report more than one barge in the same tow on a single form if on the same contract and consigned to the same destination.

(3) When liftings involve more than one contract, prepare separate forms to cover the portion of cargo loaded on each contract.

(4) Prepare a separate form for each product or grade of product loaded.

(5) Use a separate document for each tanker or barge cargo and each grade of product discharged.

(6) For discharge, the contractor may report more than one barge in the same tow on a single form if from the same loading source.

F-301 Preparation instructions.

(a) General.

(1) Preparation instructions and training for the WAWF RR are available at https://wawftraining.eb.mil. The instructions on preparing a WAWF RR are part of the Vendor Training section.

(2) Prime contractors can direct subcontractors to prepare and submit documents in WAWF by giving their subcontractors access to WAWF via the creation of a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) extension to the prime CAGE.

(3) If the contract is in Electronic Document Access (EDA) (DoD's contract repository), then the WAWF system will automatically populate all available and applicable contract data.

(i) When source acceptance is required, WAWF will populate the “Inspect By” with the “Admin by” Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC). The vendor shall change the DoDAAC if Government Source Inspection (GSI) is performed at other than the “Admin By.”

(ii) Any fields that have been pre-filled may be changed.

(iii) WAWF will also verify that CAGE codes are valid and active in the CCR (Central Contractor Registration), and that DoDAACs and Military Assistance Program Address Codes (MAPACs) are valid in Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS).

(4) WAWF will populate the address information for CAGE codes, DODAACs, and MAPACs from CCR and DAAS. These sites are the DoD definitive sources for address information. Any fields that have been pre-filled may be changed or additional information added.

(5) Do not include classified information in WAWF.

(b) Completion instructions.

(1) Contract no/delivery order No.

(i) Enter the 13-position alpha-numeric basic Procurement Instrument Identification Number (PIIN) of the contract. When applicable, enter the four-position alpha-numeric call/order serial number that is supplementary to the 13-position basic PIIN. This number is also referred to as the Supplementary Procurement Instrument Identification Number (SPIIN). Use SPIINs for (also see Subpart 204.70)—

(A) Delivery orders under indefinite-delivery type contracts;

(B) Orders under basic ordering agreements; and

(ii) Except as indicated in paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this appendix, do not enter supplementary numbers used in conjunction with basic PIINs to identify—

(A) Modifications of contracts and agreements;

(B) Modifications to calls or orders; or

(iii) When shipping instructions are furnished and shipment is made before receipt of the confirming contract modification (SF 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract), enter a comment in the Misc. Info Tab to this effect. This will appear in the Comments section of the printed WAWF RR.

(iv) For DoD delivery orders on non-DoD contracts, enter the non-DoD contract number in the contract number field and enter the DoD contract number and, when applicable, delivery order number in the delivery order field.

(2) Shipment No.

(i) The shipment number format requires first three data positions to be alpha, fourth position alpha-numeric and last three positions numeric, e.g., DFAR001 or DAR0001. Any document used as a packing list must include the shipment number information.

(A) The prime contractor shall control and assign the shipment number prefix. The shipment number shall consist of three alphabetic characters for each “Shipped From” address. The shipment number prefix shall be different for each “Shipped From” address and shall remain constant throughout the life of the contract. The prime contractor may assign separate prefixes when shipments are made from different locations within a facility identified by one “Shipped From” address.

(B) Number the first shipment 0001 for shipments made under the contract or contract and order number from each “Shipped From” address, or shipping location within the “Shipped From” address. Consecutively number all subsequent shipments with the identical shipment number prefix. While shipments should be created sequentially they can be released and accepted out of sequence.

(1) Use alpha-numeric serial numbers when more than 9,999 numbers are required. Serially assign alpha-numeric numbers with the alpha in the first position (the letters I and O shall not be used) followed by the three-position numeric serial number. Use the following alpha-numeric sequence:

A000 through A999 (10,000 through 10,999)

B000 through B999 (11,000 through 11,999)

Z000 through Z999 (34,000 through 34,999)

(2) When this series is completely used, the shipment number prefix will have to be changed when the series is completely used. WAWF will not allow duplicate shipment numbers to be created against a contract or contract and delivery order.

(ii) Reassign the shipment number of the initial shipment where a “Replacement Shipment” is involved (see paragraph (b)(16)(iv)(F) of this appendix).

(iii) The prime contractor shall control deliveries and on the final shipment of the contract shall end the shipment number with a “Z.” Where the final shipment is from other than the prime contractor's plant, the prime contractor may elect either to—

(A) Direct the subcontractor making the final shipment to end that shipment number with a “Z”; orStart Printed Page 58128

(B) Upon determination that all subcontractors have completed their shipments, to correct the DD Form 250 (see F-304) covering the final shipment made from the prime contractor's plant by addition of a “Z” to that shipment number.

(iv) Contractors follow the procedures in F-305 to use commercial invoices.

(3) Date shipped. Enter the date the shipment is released to the carrier or the date the services are completed. If the shipment will be released after the date of contract quality assurance and/or acceptance, enter the estimated date of release. When the date is estimated, enter an “E” or select an “E” from the drop down menu in the “Estimated” block after the date. Do not delay submission of the WAWF RR for lack of entry of the actual shipping date. Correction of the WAWF RR is not required to show the actual shipping date (see F-303). Once the document is submitted the shipment date cannot be changed.

(4) B/L TCN. When applicable, enter—

(i) The commercial or Government bill of lading number after “B/L;” WAWF provides the capability to separately and correctly identify the Government Bill of Lading (GBL) from a Commercial Bill of Lading (CBL). An authorized user will select whether the entered bill of lading number is either a GBL number or a CBL number.

(ii) The transportation control number must be a 17 alpha/numeric digit min/max field, and WAWF provides the capability to enter two secondary transportation tracking numbers.

(5) Line haul mode. Select the Line Haul Mode of Shipment code from a drop down menu in WAWF.

(6) Inspection and acceptance point. Enter an “S” for Origin or “D” for Destination. In addition to “S” and “D,” WAWF allows acceptance at Other (O). For purposes of conforming to contract, “O” is equivalent to “D”. In WAWF, destination acceptance is performed by the “Ship to” DODAAC organization and “Other” permits the acceptance of destination documents at a location other than the “Ship to.” The goods or services will be shipped to one location and the paperwork will be routed to another location for the actual acceptance.

(7) Prime contractor/code. Enter the prime CAGE code to which the contract was awarded.

(8) Administered by/code. Enter the DoDAAC code of the contract administration office cited in the contract.

(9) Shipped from/code.

(10) FOB. Enter an “S” for Origin or “D” for Destination as specified in the contract. Enter an alphabetic “O” if the “FOB” point cited in the contract is other than origin or destination.

(11) Payment will be made by/code. Enter the DoDAAC code of the payment office cited in the contract.

(12) Shipped to/code. Enter the DoDAAC, MAPAC, or CAGE code from the contract or shipping instructions.

(13) Marked for/code. Enter the code from the contract or shipping instructions. Only valid DoDAACs, MAPACs, or CAGE codes can be entered. Vendors should use the WAWF “Mark for Rep” and “Mark for Secondary” fields for textual marking information specified in the contract.

(14) Item No. Enter the item number used in the contract. Use a valid 4 or 6 character line item number under the Uniform Contract Line Item Numbering System (see 204.71). Line item numbers with 6 characters with numbers in the final two positions are not deliverable or billable.

(15) Stock/part number/description.

(i) Enter the following for each line item:

(A) The national stock number (NSN) or noncatalog number. If the contract contains NSNs as well as other identification (e.g., part numbers) the contractor should place the NSN information in the Stock Part Number field and the remaining numbers in the line item description field. The data entered in the NSN field must reflect the NSN of the material item being shipped and should be a valid NSN, 13 positions in length. In the “Type” drop-down field, select the corresponding type for the data entered. If no National Stock Number (NSN) or other valid “Type” is available, the word “NONE” may be entered for the Stock/Part Number, with a corresponding “Type” of any value other than NSN selected from the drop-down box.

(i) Enter the quantity shipped, using the unit of measure in the contract for payment. When a second unit of measure is used for Start Printed Page 58129purposes other than payment, enter the appropriate quantity in the description field.

(ii) On the final shipment of a line item of a contract containing a clause permitting a variation of quantity and an underrun condition exists, the prime contractor shall choose the Ship Advice Code “Z”. Where the final shipment is from other than the prime contractor's plant and an underrun condition exists, the prime contractor may elect to direct the subcontractor making the final shipment to choose the Ship Advice Code “Z”;

(iii) When the Government is performing destination acceptance the acceptor should enter actual quantity received in apparent good condition in the “Qty. Accepted” field of the Acceptor Line Item Tab.

(17) Unit of measure. Enter the abbreviation of the unit measure as indicated in the contract for payment. Where a second unit of measure is indicated in the contract for purposes other than payment or used for shipping purposes, enter the second unit of measure in the description field. Authorized abbreviations are listed in MIL-STD-129, Marking for Shipping and Storage and in the WAWF Unit of Measure Table Link. For example, LB for pound, SH for sheet.

(18) Unit price. The contractor may, at its option, enter unit prices on all WAWF RR copies, except as a minimum:

(i) The contractor shall enter unit prices for each item of property fabricated or acquired for the Government and delivered to a contractor as Government furnished property (GFP). Get the unit price from Section B of the contract. If the unit price is not available, use an estimate. The estimated price should be the contractor's estimate of what the items will cost the Government. When the price is estimated, enter “Estimated Unit Price” in the description field. However, if the contract has Item Unique Identification (IUID) requirements and the receiving report is being processed in WAWF the unit price represents the acquisition cost that will be passed to the IUID registry. Therefore, the unit price is required (see the clause at DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation). When delivering GFP via WAWF to another contractor, WAWF will initiate a property transfer if the vendor who is initiating the WAWF RR is also registered as a vendor property shipper in WAWF and the vendor receiving the property is also a vendor property receiver in WAWF.

(ii) For clothing and textile contracts containing a bailment clause, enter the cited Government furnished property unit value as “GFP UNIT VALUE” in the description field.

(19) Amount. WAWF will calculate and populate the amount by multiplying the unit price times the quantity.

(20) Contract Quality Assurance (CQA).

(i) The words “conform to contract” contained in the text above the signature block in the WAWF RR Header Tab relate to quality and to the quantity of the items on the report. Enter notes taking exception in Misc. Info Tab comment field or on attached supporting documents with an appropriate block cross-reference.

(ii) When a shipment is authorized under an alternative release procedure, contractors will execute the alternative release procedure in WAWF by including the appropriate indicator in the electronic transaction rather than through inclusion or attachment of the text of the certificate. The alternative release procedure only provides for release of shipment; Government acceptance must still be indicated by a Government official's signature on the WAWF RR.

(iii) When contract terms provide for use of Certificate of Conformance and shipment is made under these terms, contractors will execute Certificates in WAWF by including the appropriate indicator in the electronic transaction rather than through inclusion or attachment of the text of the certificate. Government acceptance must still be indicated by a Government official's signature on the WAWF RR.

(iv) Origin.

(A) The authorized Government representative must:—

(1) Place an “X” in the appropriate CQA and/or acceptance box(es) to show origin CQA and/or acceptance; and

(2) Sign and date.

WAWF will enter the typed, stamped, or printed name, title, email address, and commercial telephone number.

(B) When fast pay procedures apply, the contractor or subcontractor shall select “FAST PAY” when creating the WAWF RR. When CQA is required, the authorized Government representative shall execute the block as required by paragraph (A).

(v) Destination. When CQA and acceptance or acceptance is at destination, the authorized Government representative must—

(A) Place an “X” in the appropriate box(es); and

(B) Sign and date.

WAWF will enter the typed, stamped, or printed name, title, email address, and commercial telephone number.

F-304 Correction instructions.

Functionality for correcting a WAWF RR is being developed. Preparation instructions and training for corrections will be available at https://wawftraining.eb.mil once the functionality is deployed. The instructions will be part of the vendor training.

F-305 Invoice instructions.

Contractors shall submit payment requests and receiving reports in electronic form, unless an exception in DFARS 232.7002 applies. Contractor submission of the material inspection and receiving information required by this appendix by using the WAWF electronic form (see paragraph (b) of the clause at DFARS 252.232-7003) fulfills the requirement for a DD Form 250 MIRR. Contractors should ensure the packaging documentation includes a Government signed receiving report when the contract requires origin inspection and acceptance. Contractors must include a signed document indicating material receipt and acceptance has occurred in the container with the exception of material shipments that are approved for Alternative Release Procedures (ARP).Start Printed Page 58130

F-306 Packing list instructions.

Contractors may also use a WAWF processed RR as a packing list. WAWF provides options to print the RR. These printed RRs may also be used if a signed copy is required.

(a) WAWF provides a print capability for its RR. The WAWF printed RR can be identified by its distinctive format and by the text “Please look in WAWF for signed copy” underneath the “RECEIVING REPORT” title at the top of each printed page. This printed copy can be used as a packing list. If needed, the signature can be verified by reviewing the signed RR in WAWF.

(b) Contractors can also print a RR from their systems (not WAWF). If such a signed copy is required by the contractor, the contractor will print the WAWF RR only after a signature is applied by the Government Inspector or Acceptor in WAWF. Copies printed will be annotated with “\\original signed in WAWF\\” in lieu of the inspector/acceptor's signature.
