CALS Department Heads and Faculty with recent CALS TSAs:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Effective immediately<\/em><\/strong>, all TSAs from project leaders in CALS should be submitted in PINS<\/em><\/strong> using the University TSA form and process for review and execution by SPARCS<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CALS TSA will no longer be used. (Note: The CALS TSA and the University TSA are two different documents).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct form for all TSAs going forward can be found on the Testing Services Agreements webpage<\/a>, along with instructions<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note, if non-negotiated, this will not result in a ledger 5 project ID, the TSA will still be managed within a department-level project ID once fully executed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand the SPARCS turnaround time for standard agreements both industry and federal (including a non-negotiated TSA) is around 15 business<\/em><\/strong> days. Therefore, once you determine a TSA is the anticipated route and you have a good draft of the SOW, we highly recommend initiating the PINS record (with the SOW) so it can be routed to SPARCS and added to the appropriate Negotiators’ queue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billing Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note for TSAs that involve a billing\/payment schedule<\/em><\/strong>, CALS A\/R will continue to invoice\/bill the Sponsor. For TSAs that involve a deliverable-based billing\/payment schedule<\/em><\/strong>, the PI\/Dept will need to submit a Billing Request in ServiceNow once the \u201cdeliverable\u201d has been met to prompt the invoice\/bill to the Sponsor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please also note that we need to submit the final invoice for the work within 30 days of the end date<\/em><\/strong> denoted on the Testing Service Agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
