 32.901 Applicability.

(S-90) When an order is placed or a contract is awarded against an existing telecommunications tariff, the terms of the tariff prevail regarding prompt payment. Normally the tariff addresses the late payment period and the calculation of the interest charge. Where the tariff is silent, the Prompt Payment Act terms and conditions apply. Contracts containing tariffed rates specially filed for the Government shall be subject to the Prompt Payment Act.

 32.1106 EFT mechanisms.

(S-90) Delivery Ticket Invoicing (DTI). The Delivery Ticket Invoice (DTI) contract payment method may be applied against firm fixed price contracts or Communication Service Authorization (CSA) orders for telecommunications services in which the receiving document, when combined with the contract/order, contains sufficient information to determine a contractor's payment entitlement, without requiring the contractor to submit an invoice. A Contracting Officer who determines to implement the DTI contract payment method in a contract or order shall follow the DTI procedures located at https://www.ditco.disa.mil/DitcoContractingTemplates/doku.php?id=delivery_ticket_invoicing_ dti_procedures .
