not prepare pro forma invoices. DSS can prepare detailed quotes.

INVOICE
The UFO mails invoices, after the shipment, on Thursdays. It will show the DSS
Order Number, and if applicable, your P.O. Number. Any materials shipped will
also show your P.O. Number if needed.
Your payment MUST show the UCAR Invoice Number for proper
credit to be received.
Any commercial invoice that may be attached to a shipment will
not show the UCAR Invoice Number, so you must wait for the invoice from the UFO.
If you misplace the UCAR invoice, or do not receive it within a month of the
data delivery, you may send payment to the address below:
General Accounts
UCAR Finance Office
P.O. Box 3000
Boulder, Co 80307-3000
Be sure to include the name of the DSS staff member who prepared the data:
"SCD/DSS- [staff member]"

DETAILED QUOTE
DSS, when requested and for an extra charge, will
prepare a Detailed Quote.
The DSS Detailed Quote is not an official UCAR document. Neither the UFO nor
DSS is legally permitted to prepare documents marked as Pro Forma Invoices.

PURCHASE ORDER
DSS does not require domestic institutions to use a P.O. Typically, your
institution requires you to use a P.O. when the cost exceeds some amount.
DSS does require international purchasers, when not paying by credit card,
to send a purchase order issued by their institution. It is your
responsibility to contact the appropriate purchasing agent.
Please make your purchase order (P.O.) out to University Corporation for
Atmospheric Research. Send your purchase order by fax or letter mail:
Data Support Section
SCD/NCAR
P.O. Box 3000
Boulder, CO 80307
Our fax number is (303) 497-1291.
We require that you show the address to which the UFO invoice should be sent,
and the shipping address (unless the data is provided via FTP). Please show
in your mail or fax the name of the DSS staff member who took your order.
DSS urges all purchasing agents who issue P.O.s to show, when they are
permitted, a total price which is qualified as "not to exceed". This allows
DSS, in the event we overestimate the price, to charge only what it actually
costs, which will save you money.

ADVANCE PAYMENT
Please make your check out to University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.
Please mail your advance payment check to:
Data Support Section
SCD/NCAR
P.O. Box 3000
Boulder, CO 80307
Your correspondence should identify the DSS staff member who made the
cost estimate or detailed quote for the order.
