# §832.7001. Electronic payment requests.

- (a) The contractor shall submit payment requests in electronic form unless directed by the contracting officer to submit payment requests by mail. Purchases paid with a Government-wide commercial purchase card are considered to be an electronic transaction for purposes of this rule, and therefore no additional electronic invoice submission is required.
- (b) The contracting officer may direct the contractor to submit payment requests by mail, through the United States Postal Service, to the designated agency office for—
  - (1) Awards made to foreign vendors for work performed outside the United States;
  - (2) Classified contracts or purchases when electronic submission and processing of payment requests could compromise the safeguarding of classified or privacy information;
  - (3) Contracts awarded by contracting officers in the conduct of emergency operations, such as responses to national emergencies;
  - (4) Solicitations or contracts in which the designated agency office is a VA entity other than the VA Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas; or
  - (5) Solicitations or contracts in which the VA designated agency office does not have electronic invoicing capability as described above.
