# §1032.7002. Policy.

- (a) Contracts shall require the electronic submission of payment requests, except for—
  - (1) Purchases paid for with a Government-wide commercial purchase card;
  - (2) Classified contracts or purchases when electronic submission and processing of payment requests could compromise classified information or national security;
- (b) Where a contract otherwise requires the electronic submission of invoices, the Contracting Officer may authorize alternate procedures only if the Contracting Officer makes a written determination that:
  - (1) The Department of the Treasury is unable to receive electronic payment requests or provide acceptance electronically;
  - (2) The contractor has demonstrated that electronic submission would be unduly burdensome; or
  - (3) The contractor is in the process of transitioning to electronic submission of payment requests, but needs additional time to complete such transition. Authorizations granted on this basis must specify a date by which the contractor will transition to electronic submission.
- (c) Except as provided in paragraphs [(a)](#a) and [(b)](#b) of this section, Treasury officials shall process electronic payment submissions through the Treasury Invoice Processing Platform or successor system.
- (d) If the requirement for electronic submission of payment requests is waived under [paragraph (a)(2)](#a-2) or [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section, the contract or alternate payment authorization, as applicable, shall specify the form and method of payment request submission.
