PGI 204.1 -CONTRACT EXECUTION

PGI 204.101 Contracting officer's signature.

(1) Include the contracting officer's telephone number and, when available, e-mail/Internet address

on contracts and modifications.

(2) The contracting officer may sign bilateral modifications of a letter contract before signature by

the contractor.

PGI 204.2 -CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION

PGI 204.201 Procedures.

(1) The procuring contracting officer (PCO) retains the original signed contract for the contract file.

Administrative contracting officers and termination contracting officers provide the original of each

modification to the PCO for retention in the contract file. Unless otherwise directed by

department/agency procedures, the office issuing the orders maintains the original of orders under

basic ordering agreements and the original of provisioning orders; and

(2) Ensure that distribution of contracts and modifications is consistent with security directives.

(3) Use the following distribution procedures instead of those at FAR 4.201(b) through (f):

(i) Contracts and modifications shall be distributed electronically (except as provided at DFARS

204.270-1(a)) using the following methods:

(A) Indexed Portable Document Format files shall be sent via the Global Exchange system (GEX) to

the Electronic Document Access (EDA) (http://eda.ogden.disa.mil) system to provide a humanreadable copy of contract documents.

(B) Electronic data files depicting the contract shall be sent in at least one of the following formats

via the GEX to EDA and to systems supporting specific offices as set forth in paragraph (ii) below.

(Note that the GEX can be used to translate from the formats below to other formats. Organizations

should send both formats in parallel unless validation failures have been eliminated.)

(1) American National Standards Institute X.12 Electronic Data Interchange standard transaction

sets 850 and 860.

(2) Department of Defense Procurement Data Standard (PDS) Extensible Markup Language (XML)

format: https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/ds/procurement-data-standard.html .

(ii) After contract execution, provide an electronic data file copy of the contract and modifications in

either X.12 or PDS XML to the following:

(A) The contract administration office, if the contracting officer delegates contract administration to

another office (see FAR Subpart 42.2). The contracting officer also should provide the contract

administration office with a copy of the contract distribution list, indicating those offices that should
receive copies of modifications, and any changes to the list as they occur.

(B) The payment office. Provide any modification that changes the payment office to both the new

and the old payment offices.

(C) Each accounting office whose funds are cited in the contract.

(D) Each consignee specified in the contract. A transshipping terminal is not a consignee. The

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is authorized to prescribe alternate procedures for distribution of

contract documents in DLA Europe and Africa.

(E) The military interdepartmental purchase request requiring activity in the case of coordinated

acquisition.

(F) The receiving activity, if the contract or modification provides initial or amended shipping

instructions under DFARS 204.1603(b)(2)(ii)(1)(ii) and (iii).

(iii) Provide electronic notice of award via EDA to the following:

(A)(1) The appropriate Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) office, as listed in DCAAP 5100.1,

Directory of DCAA Offices, or as obtained through the DCAA cognizant field audit office locator, both

available via the Internet at http://www.dcaa.mil, if the contract or modification is one of the

following types:

(i) Cost-reimbursement.

(ii) Time-and-materials.

(iii) Labor-hour.

(iv) Fixed-price with provisions for redetermination, cost incentives, economic price adjustment

based on cost, or cost allowability.

(v) Any other contract that requires audit service.

(2) If there is a question as to the appropriate DCAA field audit office, request the assistance of the

DCAA financial liaison advisor or the nearest DCAA field audit office.

(B) Those organizations required to perform contract administration support functions (e.g., when

manufacturing is performed at multiple sites, provide a copy to the contract administration office

cognizant of each location).

(C) The cognizant administrative contracting officer when the contract is not assigned for

administration but contains a Cost Accounting Standards clause. Indicate that the copy is provided

“For Cost Accounting Standards Administration Only” (see FAR 30.601(b)); and

(D) The cognizant Defense Security Service office listed in DoD 5100.76-M, Physical Security of

Sensitive Conventional Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives, when the clause at DFARS 252.223-7007,

Safeguarding Sensitive Conventional Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives, is included in the contract.

An extract of the pertinent information can be provided instead of the contract.

(iv) If electronic distribution is not available, provide one paper copy to each location identified in

paragraphs (3)(i) through (iii) of this section.
PGI 204.270 Electronic Data Access.

PGI 204.270-2 Procedures.

(a) Contracting officers shall maintain an account in Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), which provides

access to Electronic Document Access (EDA) to ensure their ability to validate and verify data and

documents distributed to EDA, as necessary.

(b) Agencies shall perform, upon deployment of any contract writing system or other source of

contractual documents to be posted to EDA, an analysis to verify adequate controls are in place to

ensure that contract documents including attachments, and contract data posted to EDA are

accurate representations of the contract. Analyses performed shall include the following—

(1) For documents posted in document formats (e.g., Portable Document Format (PDF)), verification

that the electronic versions of contract documents posted to EDA are accurate representations of the

contract; however, the electronic version is not required to display visual signatures; and

(2) For data sent to EDA in the data standards at 204.201, review of the data posted to EDA against

the contract documents verified under 204.270 (b)(1) to ensure the contract data rendered in EDA is

an accurate representation of the underlying contract. To facilitate this review process, all feeds of

data to EDA in the Procurement Data Standard are initially placed in a view only evaluation mode,

where the data is not available to other systems or outside users pending verification. Upon

completion of the review of data, contracting organizations shall notify the EDA program office of

the results of the review, with a list of the issuing offices of the contractual actions, the identifier of

the system sending the actions, the version or versions of the data standards to which the review

applies, and the locations of the systems sending the actions, directing one of the following

decisions—

(i) Delete all data sent to date (in this case the system remains in evaluation status pending further

review);

(ii) Delete all data sent to date, and change all subsequent data from 'evaluation' to 'compliant'

status; or

(iii) Retain all data sent to date, and change all subsequent data from 'evaluation' to 'compliant'

status.

(c) Contract deficiency reports.

(1) Contracting officers and all individuals tasked with creating, managing, or viewing contract

deficiency reports (CDRs) shall establish and maintain an account in WAWF.

(2) Agencies that award or administer contracts, or perform pay office functions, should assign

individuals within their organization to create, manage, and view CDRs within WAWF based on the

following CDR user roles: initiator, reviewer, assignee, and view only.

(3) The contracting officer shall correct contract deficiencies identified in a CDR and document the

steps taken to resolve the deficiency in the CDR.

(4) The CDR process.
(i) Creation. A CDR is created when a deficiency is identified in the procurement instrument. A list of

types of CDR deficiencies is available at

https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/ds/procurement-data-standard.html . The specifics of the

deficiency shall be documented in the description in enough detail to provide the assignee an

understanding of the problem.

(ii) Approval. Once a CDR is created, the initiator shall route the CDR to their local approval official

for review.

(iii) Assignment. Once a CDR is approved, it is routed to the appropriate contracting activity for

action.

(iv) Acceptance. A CDR must be accepted or returned by the contracting activity. If a CDR is

determined to have been incorrectly assigned, the contracting activity can reassign the CDR to the

proper organization (if known) or reject the CDR.

(v) Resolution. The assignee shall document the actions taken to resolve a CDR. If a modification has

been issued to resolve the deficiency, it shall be identified in the CDR. Once all deficiencies

identified on a CDR have been resolved, mark the CDR as resolved. All CDRs should be resolved

within 30 days of approval.

(vi) Close. After resolution of a CDR, the initiator of the CDR can accept the resolution and manually

close the CDR or return it to the assignee for further action. CDRs not manually closed or returned

by the initiator to the assignee within 60 days after resolution will automatically be closed. Once the

CDR is closed, a notification is generated advising that the CDR is closed.

(5) Additional information on the CDR module of WAWF is available at https://wawf.eb.mil.

PGI 204.4 -SAFEGUARDING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

WITHIN INDUSTRY

PGI 204.402 -General.

(1) The use of “Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals” (NOFORN) caveat on Department of Defense

(DoD) Information, to include contract documents, shall not be applied to non-intelligence

information except for Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information and the National Disclosure Policy

document (NDP-1).

(2) Agencies shall not restrict procurements on the basis of foreign origin but rather on the level of

security clearance required by industry to submit an offer and perform on the contract.

PGI 204.403 Responsibilities of contracting officers.

(1) Consistent with the requirements at FAR Subpart 4.403, contracting officers shall ensure that

solicitations, to include any Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) or notice to industry, that requires

industry access to classified information and/or controlled unclassified information (see policy

memos), shall contain one or more of the following:
(i) Draft DoD Form DD 254, DoD Contract Security Classification Specification.

See Defense Security Service (DSS) guide for the preparation of the DD Form 254 at

http://www.dss.mil/isp/tools.html and select “A Guide for the Preparation of a DD Form 254”.

(ii) The clause at FAR 52.204-2, Security Requirements.

(iii) Detailed agency instructions for industry requirements to request access to classified

information and/or controlled unclassified information. Agency instructions shall clearly reference

and be in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)

(DoD 5220-22-M) and Industrial Security Regulation (DoD 5220.22-R).

(iv) The following is a template of agency instructions to industry:

“Offerors must have a valid U.S. security clearance of [to be filled in by the contracting officer] or

higher in order to respond to this RFP (Announcement), because the RFP (Announcement) includes

an annex (information) classified at the [to be filled in by the contracting officer] level which will be

released only to offerors possessing the appropriate clearance. All classified material must be

handled in accordance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)

(DoD 5220-22-M) and Industrial Security Regulation (DoD 5220.22-R).”

(2) Fundamental research project determination.

(i) Projects being scoped as fundamental research may include the entire contract effort or a

specified portion of the statement of work, and must be documented in the written determination

and in the contract.

(ii) The determination of fundamental research shall occur when the project is added to the

statement of work, either prior to award or during a contract modification that modified the

statement of work.

(iii) Fundamental research is defined in the USD(A&S) memorandum on Fundamental Research,

dated May 24, 2010.

(iv) See clause 252.204-7000(a)(3), concerning disclosure of information for fundamental research

projects.

PGI 204.6 -CONTRACT REPORTING

As used in this subpart, the unique entity identifier is currently the Data Universal Numbering

System (DUNS) number.

PGI 204.602 General.

(1) Helpful documents. The Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) website at

https://www.fpds.gov provides useful documents and on-line training to assist with FPDS data entry.

Key manuals can be found at the top of the website homepage under the “Training” and “Worksite”

drop-down links to include:
(i) FPDS Data Element Dictionary. The data dictionary outlines relevant information for each data

field. The Data Dictionary identifies whether a data field is “Required,” “Optional,” “Propagates from

the base action,” “Not Applicable,” or “System Generated,” for each type of data entry screen

(Awards, Indefinite-Delivery Vehicles, and Transactions/Modifications). It also identifies the source

of data entry (e.g., Contracting Officer, System for Award Management (SAM), FPDS); the format of

the field; and whether the field input is derived from entries in other fields. At the back of the Data

Dictionary is a useful summary.

(ii) FPDS Data Validations. This document identifies all the validation rules that are applied to data

entry. The majority of the rules apply Governmentwide. DoD specific validation rules appear at

“5.5.1 DoD Specific Validations.”

(iii) FPDS Users Manual. This manual provides guidance on the various types of data entry screens

and addresses whether a particular field is: “[R]” – requires contracting officer/buyer entry; “[A]” –

pre-populated by FPDS or a contract writing system, if using machine-to-machine process; or “[C]” –

calculated by FPDS for each type of data entry screen. However, the nature of the field is

determined based on Governmentwide requirements. To determine DoD-specific requirements, refer

to J3 “DoD Use Case Summary” in the FPDS Data Element Dictionary. The FPDS User Manual is not

a policy document; it is intended only for general guidance. Refer to this PGI section for specific

FPDS reporting entries.

(2) Reporting technical or policy issues.

(i) Technical issues. To report an FPDS technical issue—

(A)(1) Users of the Standard Procurement System (SPS) should contact their local SPS Help Desk

(authorized SPS caller);

(2) Users of other contract writing systems should contact the local contract writing system

administrator to determine the appropriate procedures; and

(3) Web users should contact their local system administrator, who will then contact the FPDS Help

Desk; or

(B) If the issue is an obvious FPDS technical issue that needs to be documented and corrected by the

system, the user should contact the Federal Service Desk (FSD), by telephone at 866-606-8220 (U.S.

or DSN), or 334-206-7828 (International), or submit a comment or request at www.fsd.gov. When emailing FSD, also send a copy to the applicable agency representative identified in paragraph (2)(iii)

of this section.

(ii) Policy issues. Report policy issues to the applicable agency representative identified in paragraph

(2)(iii) of this section.

(iii) Agency representatives. Department and component FPDS representatives and their contact

information can be found on the DPC website at

https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/cap/fpds.html#data-improvement under “Additional

Resources.”

PGI 204.604 Responsibilities.

(1) The OSD Procurement Data Improvement Plan, posted at
https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/cap/data-improvement.html , applies to each of the military

services and agencies with procurement authority, and identifies the data validation requirements

and responsibilities that support the annual Department of Defense certification identified at FAR

4.604(c). These review requirements encompass contract action reports submitted to FPDS,

terminations for default and other documents submitted to the Federal Awardee Performance and

Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), and other reporting and posting requirements.

(2) Contract action reports (CARs) must be completed in compliance with the timelines established

in FAR 4.604(b)(2) and (3). CARs or their data are not available for public view or for non-DoD use

until 90 days after the “Date Signed” data element in order to minimize risk to military operations.

PGI 204.606 Reporting data.

Do not enter a generic DUNS number used for reporting to the Federal Procurement Data System

(FPDS) (see FAR Subpart 4.6), nor a generic CAGE code that corresponds to a generic DUNS

number, on any contractual document. These generic codes shall only be used for reporting to FPDS.

Using the generic codes on actual contract actions masks the true identity of the vendor and

immediately makes any accurate electronic processing of invoices, receiving reports, and payments

impossible; and can, in fact, result in misdirected payments. As a reminder FAR Subpart 4.18

requires each contractor be identified by its actual CAGE code on contract actions; there is no

exemption to the requirement for an actual CAGE code.

(1) Methods of reporting to FPDS.

(i) Individual contract action report (CAR) (one CAR per contract action). The normal method of

reporting to FPDS is through the use of individual CARs.

(A) An individual CAR is required to be reported for each of the following types of awards regardless

of the estimated value of the award:

(1) Indefinite-delivery contract.

(2) Blanket purchase agreement (prescribed by FAR parts 8 or 13).

(3) Basic ordering agreement.

(4) Basic agreement (only if the agreement has a value and potential obligations greater than $0).

(5) Task and delivery orders and calls issued under any agreement or indefinite-delivery contract

(including Federal Supply Schedules, Governmentwide acquisition contracts, or multi-agency

contracts).

(6) Modification to any contract, agreement, order, or call where a CAR is required for the base

award regardless of the amount being obligated or deobligated on the modification.

(B)(1) An individual CAR is required to be reported for each of the following types of awards when

the award process was conducted using other than micro-purchase procedures and the value is

greater than the micro-purchase threshold (MPT):

(i) Purchase order.

(ii) Definitive contract.
(2) Although a contract action report is not required for these awards when micro-purchase

procedures were followed and the value is less than the MPT, it is encouraged as a best practice if

the award was not accomplished using the Governmentwide commercial purchase card (GPC) or a

Standard Form 44. Additionally, when the purchase order or definitive contract being awarded is in

response to a contingency, an individual report is required when the value of the award is greater

than $25,000, not the MPT of $35,000 referenced in FAR part 2.

(C) See paragraphs (1)(ii) and (iii) of this section for exceptions to individual reporting.

(ii) Multiple CARs (more than one CAR per contract action).

(A) Prepare multiple CARs if the contract or order award is anticipated to include both foreign

funding and U.S. funding.

(B) The determination of whether multiple CARs are needed for the situations described in

paragraph (1)(ii)(A) of this section is made when the contract or order is awarded. Contracting

officers are not required to delete and re-enter CARs in FPDS as multiple CARs if, during the life of

the contract or order, subsequent unanticipated modifications make the award eligible for multiple

CARs.

(C) The following multiple CAR transaction identification numbers have been established for

reporting multiple CARs and shall be used by all DoD contracting offices. Do not use transaction

numbers other than “0” if the requirements for multiple CARs in paragraphs (1)(ii)(A) and (B) of this

section do not apply at the time of contract or order award. When reporting modifications, include

the transaction number that was reported on the initial base award in order to properly identify the

referenced contract action report. If the situation described in paragraph (1)(ii)(A) of this section

exists, transaction numbers should be assigned based on foreign military sales (FMS) and non-FMS

rather than by type of contract pricing arrangement. Do not use multiple CARs with transaction

numbers other than “0” if the entire award is expected to be funded by foreign funding.

Transaction Type Transaction Number

No multiple CARs 0

FMS 14

Non-FMS 16

(iii) Express reporting (consolidated reporting of multiple contract actions, to be submitted at least

monthly).

(A) Express reporting may be used for—

(1) Multiple contract actions against a single contract or agreement, when monthly volume of

actions is such that individual contract action reporting is overly burdensome (e.g., orders placed by

the Defense Commissary Agency; installation housing maintenance; and recurring blanket purchase

agreement actions);

(2) Multiple contract actions accomplished away from the contracting office, such as ships away

from home port; contingency, humanitarian, or peacekeeping operations; or other remote

deployments;

(3) Multiple delivery orders that use the GPC as both the method of purchase and payment under
Federal Supply Schedules, Governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs), blanket purchase

agreements (BPAs), basic ordering agreements (BOAs), and other indefinite-delivery type contracts;

(4) Multiple contract actions for energy-related supplies and associated services accomplished by

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy; and

(5) Orders under communications service agreements for local dial tone services, in accordance with

agency procedures.

(B) When express reports reflect more than one contractor for overseas actions or consolidated

delivery orders made using the GPC where identification of the contract or agreement is not

possible, use the appropriate generic DUNS number.

(C) When express reports are used, sum all of the actions and enter in the “Number of Actions” data

field. Also sum all of the obligations and enter in the “Action Obligation,” “Base and Exercised

Options Value,” and “Base and All Options Value” data fields. Express reports shall be submitted no

less frequently than monthly.

(D) When express reports are used, the contracting officer must maintain a log of individual actions

being summarized on the express reports and ensure it is available for audit purposes. Logs must

include the following, at a minimum, for each action: procurement instrument identifier (PIID) used

for the express report under which action is summarized, referenced Indefinite-Delivery Vehicles

(IDV) PIID (if the express report is summarizing task/delivery/call orders), date of award, obligation

amount, vendor name, and DUNS number (if known).

(2) Actions not reported. In addition, to the types of actions listed in FAR 4.606(c), do not report the

following types of actions to FPDS:

(i) Orders placed by ordering officers against IDVs awarded by—

(A) The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) or its components for

decentralized transportation-related services. USTRANSCOM will report these orders. Contracting

officers shall submit consolidated reports of orders (bookings/bills of lading) at least annually to

USTRANSCOM; or

(B) DLA Energy for energy-related supplies and associated services using defensewide working

capital funds. DLA Energy will report these orders. It is the responsibility of the contracting office to

ensure that orders placed against these vehicles using other than defensewide working capital funds

are reported to FPDS.

(ii) Contracts, agreements, or orders that are themselves classified.

(3) Specific instructions for entering data in FPDS.

(i) Contracting officers shall choose the correct FPDS format (e.g., purchase order, basic ordering

agreement (BOA), blanket purchase agreement (BPA)) to report the award of a new contract,

agreement, or order. Note that prior to fiscal year (FY)10, DoD offices reported BOAs and BPAs as

IDCs in FPDS; BPA calls issued under those pre-FY10 reported BPAs are reported using the

task/delivery order format in FPDS. BPA calls issued under DoD issued BPAs reported FY10 or later

or any civilian agency issued BPA should be reported using the BPA call format.

(ii) The remaining instructions in this section cover the different sections of an FPDS contract action

report, as presented to the user in the system. Not every data element is addressed here, as many
are self-explanatory. Users should also consult the FPDS User Manual referenced in PGI 204.602

(1)(iii) for more complete descriptions and examples. Also, the instructions in this section use data

field names based on what is shown to the user while entering data in FPDS; for more specific

information, review the FPDS Data Element Dictionary referenced in PGI 204.602 (1)(i).

(iii) FPDS Entry – Document Information Section.

(A) Enter the new contract, agreement, or order number in the “Procurement Instrument Identifier”

data field. Note that new awards will be reflected as Modification 0 in FPDS.

(B) If the action is a BPA awarded against a Federal Supply Schedule, enter the Federal Supply

Schedule contract number in the “Referenced IDV ID” data field.

(C) If the action is a delivery order awarded against a Federal Supply Schedule, Governmentwide

acquisition contract (GWAC), BOA, or other IDC; enter that contract or BOA number in the

“Referenced IDV ID” data field.

(D) If the action is a BPA call awarded against a BPA, enter the BPA number in the “Referenced IDV

ID” data field.

(E) If the action is a modification, enter the contract, agreement, or order number in the

“Procurement Instrument Identifier” data field and the modification number in the “Modification

Number” data field.

(F) If multiple reports are required by paragraph (1)(ii) of this section, then enter the appropriate

transaction number in the “Transaction Number” data field.

(G) If the award is associated with a solicitation, enter the solicitation number in the “Solicitation

ID” data field.

(H) If the award is associated with an initiative identified in FPDS (e.g., American Recovery and

Reinvestment Act), choose the appropriate value in the “Treasury Account Symbol Initiative” data

field.

(iv) FPDS Entry –Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) data fields.

(A) TAS data fields are no longer required to be entered in FPDS (as of July 2016) and should be left

blank; however, if correcting TAS data fields on a previously reported contract action report follow

the instructions in this section.

(B) The TAS should be provided by the requiring organization with the purchase request, and is

often part of the line of accounting. The list of valid TAS is maintained by the Department of

Treasury in the FASTBook; an on-line version of the FASTBook is available at

http://www.fms.treas.gov/fastbook/index.html. Each TAS reported to FPDS includes a character

agency identifier and a four character main account code (example: 97 0100). Some TAS also

require a three character subaccount code. Note that the Department of Treasury FASTBook

indicates a transition from a two character agency identifier to a three character agency identifier.

However at this time, DoD contracting officers are advised to drop the leading zero (0) from a three

character agency identifier, and enter the next two characters in FPDS (e.g., 097 becomes 97).

(C) Report the TAS on CARs for each contract action with an obligation amount other than $0. The

TAS that is reported on a CAR should represent the predominant type of funding in terms of absolute

dollars obligated and deobligated on the specific contract action being reported.
(D) For contract actions awarded by working capital funds offices, and the original type of funds

received from the customer are not tied to specific procurements or otherwise identifiable, use the

TAS that represents the working capital funds provided.

(E) For contract actions funded by foreign governments, and those funds are not considered under

the Foreign Military Financing Program identified by the Department of Treasury in its FASTBook,

in order to report the action to FPDS using the code that most closely approximates the use of the

funds, then enter—

(1) 97 0100 (Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, Defense) as the TAS for requirements that

can be categorized as operations and maintenance in nature;

(2) 97 0300 (Procurement, Defense-Wide) as the TAS for requirements that can be categorized as

procurement in nature; or

(3) 97 0400 (Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-Wide) as the TAS for

requirements that can be categorized as research and development in nature.

(F) USTRANSCOM should use 97 0100 (Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, Defense) as the

TAS when reporting the consolidated orders of from their decentralized transportation-related

services contracts.

(v) FPDS Entry – Dates Section.

(A) The “Date Signed” data field represents the date the contracting officer signed or otherwise

awarded the contract action.

(B) The “Effective Date” data field represents the date the period of performance begins. For actions

where an authorization to proceed was given prior to the signed contract action, use the date of the

authorization in this data element.

(C) The date entered in the “Completion Date” data field shall be the latest period of performance /

delivery date of all of the exercised line items on the contract or order. This data field shall be

updated on the contract action report used to report the modification whenever line items are added

or exercised by modification that extend the period of performance / delivery date beyond what was

previously entered, including the exercise of any option years.

(D) The date entered in the “Estimated Ultimate Completion Date” data field shall be the latest

period of performance / delivery date of all line items on the contract or order, including unexercised

line items and option years. This data field shall be updated on the contract action report used to

report the modification whenever line items are added or changed by modification that extend the

period of performance/delivery date beyond what was previously entered.

(E) The date entered in the “Last Date to Order” data field on IDCs, BOAs, and BPAs shall be the last

date allowed by the contract for the contractor to accept orders. This data field shall be updated

whenever this date is changed by modification from what was previously entered.

(F) The “Solicitation Date” data field generally represents the date an Invitation for Bids, Request for

Quotation, or Request for Proposal was issued to potential bidders or offerors. However, follow the

instructions below for other situations where an IFB, RFQ, or RFP is not issued:

(1) When the action is the award of an order using existing pre-priced line items under an ordering

instrument where no proposal is required (i.e., there are no elements of the delivery or performance
to negotiate)—

(i) Orders under single-award indefinite delivery vehicles, BPA calls under single-award BPAs issued

under FAR part 8, and BPA calls under BPAs issued under FAR part 13. Use the date the

procurement-ready requirements package (including funded purchase request or MIPR) was

provided to the contracting office as the “Solicitation Date”. If unknown, use the date of the award of

the order as the “Solicitation Date”.

(ii) Orders under multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts and BPA calls issued under multipleaward BPAs issued under FAR part 8. Use the date of the survey of the multiple-award contracts or

BPAs prices in accordance with FAR part 8 or 16 procedures.

(2) When the action is the award of a contract under a broad agency announcement (BAA), use the

date when a final (not draft) combined synopsis/solicitation is issued as the “Solicitation Date”

except—

(i) For two-step BAAs, including white paper submissions for review, selection, and subsequent

request for full proposals, the “Solicitation Date” is the date when the contracting officer signs the

proposal request;

(ii) Under BAAs with calls, the “Solicitation Date” is the date when the individual call is issued; or

(iii) For open BAAs, when white papers and/or proposals are accepted for review over an extended

period (typically open for a year or longer), the “Solicitation Date” is either the date when the

contracting officer signs a proposal request (white papers) or the date on which the proposal is

submitted, whichever is earlier.

(3) For awards made in response to unsolicited proposals, the “Solicitation Date” is the date when

the offeror is notified of proposal acceptance for negotiations and/or award.

(vi) FPDS Entry – Amounts Section.

(A) When entering a net deobligation on a contract action, include the minus (-) sign.

(B) The amount entered in the “Base and Exercised Options Value” for new awards shall be the total

value (represented in U.S. dollars and cents) of all the exercised line items on the contract or order

regardless of whether they are partially or fully funded. This data field shall be updated on the

contract action report used to report the modification whenever the current value of the contract or

order is changed by modification, including when options are exercised. When reporting such a

modification, report the net value of the change itself in “Current” field; FPDS will calculate the new

total Base and Exercised Options Value. When an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) executes

a modification and the previous value reported in FPDS is incorrect, the ACO shall notify the

procuring contract office of the discrepancy and enter the appropriate value in the “Current” field of

the “Base and Exercised Options Value” to ensure a correct total is represented. The ACO shall

document the correction of the discrepancy in the contract file.

(C) The amount entered in the “Base and All Options Value” for new awards shall be the total

potential value of the award (represented in U.S. dollars and cents) (e.g., total price, total not-toexceed amount, maximum award amount, etc.), including the value of all unexercised line items and

options. For blanket purchase agreements and basic ordering agreements, enter the total expected

amount for orders that will be issued. Note: on IDV formats in FPDS, this data element is named

“Base and All Options Value (Total Contract Value).”
(1) For each IDC resulting from a solicitation where multiple awards were contemplated, this is the

maximum for that resulting specific contract. Note: this amount is not always the same as the ceiling

for the program under which multiple contracts were awarded. Each contract shall have a specific

ceiling identified for that specific period (see FAR 16.504(a)(4)(ii)).

(2) This data field shall be updated on the contract action report used to report the modification

whenever the total potential value is changed by modification, including changes made as a result of

overruns or claims. When reporting such a modification, report the net value of the change itself in

“Current” field; FPDS will calculate the new total Base and All Options Value. When an ACO

executes a modification and the previous value reported in FPDS is incorrect, the ACO shall notify

the procuring contract office of the discrepancy and enter the appropriate value in the “Current”

field of the “Base and All Options Value” to ensure a correct total is represented. The ACO shall

document the discrepancy correction in the contract file.

(D) The amount entered in the “Action Obligation” for new awards shall be the total value of all the

obligated funds on the contract or order, represented in U.S. dollars and cents. When reporting a

modification, report the net value of the change in funding accomplished by the modification in the

“Current” field; FPDS will calculate the new total action obligation value. When an ACO executes a

modification and the previous value reported in FPDS is incorrect, the ACO shall notify the

procuring contract office of the discrepancy and enter the appropriate value in the “Current” field of

the “Action Obligation Value” field to ensure a correct total is represented. The ACO shall document

the discrepancy correction in the contract file.

(E) The amount entered in the “Total Estimated Order Value” for new IDC awards shall be the total

estimated value of all anticipated orders to be placed under the contract. For DoD, this value should

match the “Base and All Options” value, as DoD does not obligate funds on indefinite-delivery

contracts themselves.

(vii) FPDS Entry – Purchaser Information Section.

(A) Enter the contracting office’s DoD Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) in as the “Contracting Office

ID” data field.

(B) If the requiring organization is a DoD organization, enter the DoDAAC for the requiring office in

the “Funding Office ID” data field. This is normally the DoDAAC that is included on the purchase

request in the purchase request number. If the contract action is supporting working capital funded

efforts and the specific requiring office is unknown, enter the DoDAAC for the working capital

funded office. Do not enter the DoDAAC from the contracting office in the “Funding Office ID” field

unless the contracting office is also the requiring organization.

(C) If the requiring organization is not a DoD organization, enter the Funding Office ID provided on

the interagency agreement in the “Funding Office ID” data field.

will be used to pull the associated current record from the System for Award Management (SAM)

database.
(B) If a SAM exception applies to the procurement, ensure the correct exception is chosen from the

“SAM Exception” data field. In this case the DUNS number entered in the “DUNS Number” data

field will be used to pull the contractor’s name and location information from Dun & Bradstreet’s

database.

(ix) FPDS Entry – Contract Data Section.

(A) On the contract action report used to report the base award, choose the type of contract pricing

reports for modifications.

(B) If the procurement is for services, enter the appropriate Inherently Governmental Functions

indicator:

(1) “Closely Associated” means functions that are closely associated with inherently governmental

functions; those contractor duties that could expand to become inherently governmental functions

without sufficient management controls or oversight on the part of the Government. Office of

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Policy Letter 11–01, Performance of Inherently Governmental

and Critical Functions, provides examples of work that is inherently governmental and therefore

must be performed by Federal employees and work that is closely associated with inherently

governmental functions that may be performed by either Federal employees or contractors.

(2) “Critical Functions” means functions that are necessary to the agency being able to effectively

perform and maintain control of its mission and operations. Typically, critical functions are recurring

and long-term in duration.

(3) “Other Functions” means neither “Closely Associated Functions” nor “Critical Functions.”

(4) For services that include performing both “Closely Associated” and “Critical Functions,” select

“Closely Associated, Critical Functions.”

Directory (ICD) (see FAR 7.105(b)(1) for website).

(E) If the procurement is as a result of a requirement responding specifically to a National Interest

Action that is listed in this field (for example, “Hurricane Sandy” or “Operation Enduring Freedom

(B) Extent Competed. Select the appropriate entry from the following list. The extent competed for

any modification or order against a task order or delivery order contract pulls from the basic

contract and is shown in the “Extent competed for referenced IDV” data field.

(1) Competed under SAP. Report this for competitive contract actions that were awarded using FAR

part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (i.e., solicitation procedures were “Simplified

Acquisition”).

(2) Full and Open Competition (F&OC). Report this if the contract action resulted from an award

pursuant to FAR 6.102(a), Sealed bids; FAR 6.102(b), Competitive proposals; FAR 6.102(c),

Combination; or any other competitive method that did not exclude sources of any type.

(3) F&OC after Exclusion of Sources. Report this when sources are excluded before competition.

(Note: This terminology is broader than FAR Subpart 6.2, which includes set-aside actions and

actions to establish or maintain alternate sources, in that it also includes actions justified by a

justification and approval that provided for competition).

(4) Not Available for Competition. Report this if the contract action is not available for competition
(i.e., contract actions where the solicitation procedure was “Only One Source” and the reason not

competed is “Authorized by Statute,” “International Agreement,” “Utilities,” or “Authorized Resale.”)

Note that sole source awards for 8a firms, HUBZone firms, and service-related disabled veteranowned concerns should always be identified as “Authorized by Statute” as the reason for other than

full and open competition.

(5) Not Competed under SAP. Report this for non-competitive contract actions that were awarded

using FAR part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (i.e., solicitation procedures were “Simplified

Acquisition”).

(6) Not Competed. Report this when the contract action is not competed and the solicitation

procedures are “Only One Source.”

(C) Type of Set-Aside.

(1) If the contract action is a result of a set-aside or sole source authorized under part 19 of the FAR,

choose the applicable value. In order to indicate a FAR part 19 set-aside or sole source on an order

under a multiple-award contract, see paragraph (F) of this section.

(2) Note that the type of set-aside is collected on the original award. In the case of a task or delivery

order being reported, the user will see the type of set-aside from the original contract in the “Type

Set Aside” data element. The “Type of Set-Aside Source” data element is system generated to

indicate whether the data in the “Type Set Aside” data element was entered on the specific CAR

being viewed or if it was pre-populated from the original contract award.

(D) SBIR/STTR. Ensure the “SBIR/STTR” data field is completed if the contract action is a result of a

Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) or Small Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Program.

SBIR and STTR Phase III awards require that a previous SBIR or STTR award exists.

(E) Other than Full and Open Competition.

(1) Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Select only “SAP Non-Competition,” “Authorized by

Statute” if a sole source set-aside shall also be noted, or “Authorized for Resale” when the award is

noncompetitive and simplified acquisition procedures were used. Do not choose other values from

the list.

(2) Other than Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Select from available values the one that matches

the FAR part 6 authority referenced in the Justification & Authorization document for using other

than competitive procedures. Do not choose “SAP Non-competition.”

(3) Acquiring Products or Services from Afghanistan. When DFARS 225.7703-1(a)(2) or (3)

procedures are used to limit competition to products or services from Afghanistan, or to award a

contract to a particular source or sources from Afghanistan, select “Authorized by Statute” in the

“Other than Full and Open Competition” data field.

(F) Fair Opportunity/Limited Sources. This field is the basis for determining whether competition is

provided for on orders placed against multiple-award contracts (to include DoD contracts,

Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts, Federal Supply Schedules, and BPAs issued under the

Federal Supply Schedules). If a Federal Supply Schedule contract or a Governmentwide multipleaward contract is not coded as a multiple-award vehicle, thereby preventing completion of this field,

the FPDS user should advise the agency FPDS so that the contracting office for the multiple-award

contract can be notified and pursue correction.
(1) Urgency. Report this if the action was justified pursuant to FAR 8.405- 6(a)(1)(i)(A) or

16.505(b)(2)(i)(A).

(2) Only One Source. Other – Report if the action was justified pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) or

16.505(b)(2)(i)(B).

(3) Follow-On Delivery Order Following Competitive Initial Order. Report this if the action was

justified pursuant to FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C) or 16.505(b)(2)(i)(C).

(4) Minimum Guarantee. Report this if it was necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum

amount guaranteed to the contractor. See FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(D).

(5) Other Statutory Authority. Report this if a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the

purchase by made from a specified source. See FAR16.505(b)(2)(i)(E).

(6) Fair Opportunity Given. Report this if fair opportunity was given pursuant to FAR 16.505(b)(1).

(7) Competitive Set-Aside. Report this if the order was set aside pursuant to FAR 19.502-4(c) and a

sub-set of multiple-award contract holders meeting the set-aside criteria were provided fair

opportunity to submit an offer. If this value is selected, also choose the appropriate set-aside in the

“Type of Set-Aside” field. Do not select this value if the original multiple award contract itself was

set-aside or partially set-aside.

(8) Sole Source. Report this if the order was issued pursuant to FAR 19.502-4(c) and awarded to a

single contract holder meeting the socio-economic criteria without providing fair opportunity to

other multiple-award contract holders. If this value is selected, also choose the appropriate value in

the “Type of Set-Aside” field.

(G) If an award did not provide for full and open competition; or in the case of simplified acquisition,

did not provide the maximum extent of competition practicable; select the value in the “Other Than

Full and Open Competition” field that represents the justification used.

(H) In the “Commercial Product or Commercial Service Acquisition Procedures” data field, indicate

whether commercial procedures were—

( 1 ) Used for commercial products or commercial services;

( 2 ) Used for supplies or services pursuant to FAR 12.102(f);

( 3 ) Used for services pursuant to FAR 12.102(g); or

( 4 ) Not used.

(I) In the “Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products or Commercial Services” data

field, indicate if the contract action utilized procedures under FAR subpart 13.5.

(J) In the “A-76 Action” data field, indicate if the contract action resulted from an A-76 / FAIR Act

competitive sourcing process. Note, however, that DoD is currently under a moratorium from

procuring services using these procedures. See PGI 207.302 for more information.

(K) In the “Local Area Set Aside” data field, indicate if the contract action resulted from a local area

set-aside in accordance with FAR 26.202.

(L) In the “FedBizOpps” data field, enter “Yes” if the award was greater than $25,000 in value and
subject to FAR 5.2 synopsis requirements. Enter “No” if the award was greater than $25,000 in

value, but an exception to synopsis requirements applied.

Enter “Not Applicable” if the award was less than or equal to $25,000 in value.

(M) Number of Offers.

(1) Enter the specific number of offers received in response to the solicitation. In the case of

contracts awarded as a result of a Broad Agency Announcement, enter the number of proposals

received under the specific announcement. In the case of orders under a multiple-award contract

(including Federal Supply Schedules and GWACs), BOAs, and BPAs, enter the number of offers

received for the specific order.

(2) Note that the “Number of Offers Received” is collected on the original award. In the case of a

task or delivery order being reported, the user will see the number of offers from the original

contract in the “IDV Number of Offers” data element. The “Number of Offers Source” data element

is system generated to indicate whether the data in the “Number of Offers Received” data element

was entered on the specific CAR being viewed or if it was pre-populated from the original contract

award.

(xv) FPDS Entry – Preference Programs / Other Data Section.

(A) Contracting Officer’s Business Size Selection—

(1) When entering a new contract, purchase order, or agreement award in FPDS, contracting

officers shall ensure they appropriately choose “Small Business” or “Other than Small Business” in

the “Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” data field according to the NAICS code

applied to the award, its associated size standard, and the contractor’s response to provision

52.212-3 or 52.219-1. The contracting officer shall enter “Other than Small Business” for awards

where the contractor has not certified to its status in one of these provisions.

(2) If the “Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” data field is completed with “Small

Business”, the contractor’s other socio-economic information that it has entered or the Small

Business Administration (SBA) has provided to the System for Award Management (SAM) database

will be included in the contract action report. This includes designations such as SBA-Certified 8(a),

Women-owned Small Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned.

(3) Contracting officers will not be allowed to identify types of set-asides in FPDS unless the

“Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” field is completed with “Small Business,” and

other required socio-economic designations are present in the Contractor’s SAM record (e.g.,

contractor shall have the SBA-Certified 8(a) designation in order to identify an 8(a) type set-aside in

FPDS).

(4) All subsequent modifications and delivery orders under the initial award will be automatically

populated with the same designations.

(B) Subcontracting Plan. Select whether a subcontracting plan is required for the contract action,

and, if so, which type applies from the following values:

(1) Plan Not Required;

(2) Plan Not Included, No Subcontracting Possibilities;
(3) Individual Subcontracting Plan;

(4) Commercial Subcontracting Plan; or

(5) DoD Comprehensive Subcontracting Plan.

(4) Reporting modifications to FPDS.

(i) Modifications against previously reported contracts, agreements, and orders are required to be

reported to FPDS if they include any obligation or deobligation amount. They are also required to be

reported to FPDS if there is no obligation or deobligation amount and involve a change to the data

reported in any data field in the contract action report (e.g., vendor name, completion date, place of

performance).

(ii) Contracting officers should choose the “Reason for Modification” value that best represents the

purpose of the modification action. If more than one reason for modification applies, choose the

more specific value. When a name, address, DUNS number, or CAGE code change occurs as the

result of the modification, choose “Novation,” “Vendor DUNS Change,” or “Vendor Address

Change,” per the instructions at paragraphs (4)(v), (vi) and (vii), rather than other values that may

also apply to the action (e.g., Exercise Option).

(iii) Do not use “Close Out” as the reason for modification in FPDS unless the modification being

reported actually accomplishes the close out of the award.

(iv) DoD offices shall not use the “Transfer Action” value in the “Reason for Modification” field

unless transferring the contract to a non-DoD contracting office (e.g., Department of Interior).

(v) Modifications for novations (see FAR Subpart 42.12 and DFARS subpart 242.12) shall use

“Novation Agreement” in the “Reason for Modification” field.

(A) When this value is used, the contracting officer shall enter the appropriate DUNS number for the

contractor in the modification contract action report. FPDS will then bring over the current vendor

name and address from the contractor’s SAM record for that DUNS number into the modification

contract action report. Subsequent contract action reports will show the updated DUNS number and

vendor name.

(B) When this value is used, FPDS also allows the contracting officer to update the “Contracting

Officer’s Determination of Business Size” data field. The contracting officer shall ensure that the

contractor’s current size status is appropriately recorded on the modification contract action report.

Subsequent contract action reports will reflect the size entered on this modification contract action

report (see FAR subparts 19.301-2 and 19.301-3).

(vi) Modifications for contractor name changes that do not require a novation (see FAR Subpart

42.12 and DFARS Subpart 242.12) shall use “Vendor DUNS Change” in the “Reason for

Modification” field. When this value is used, the contracting officer shall enter the appropriate

DUNS number for the contractor in the modification contract action report. FPDS will then bring

over the current vendor name and address from the contractor’s SAM record for that DUNS number

into the modification contract action report. Subsequent contract action reports will show the

updated DUNS number and vendor name.

(vii) Modifications for contractor address changes that do not require a novation shall use “Vendor

Address Change” in the “Reason for Modification” field. When this value is used, FPDS will bring

over the current address from the contractor’s SAM record into the modification contract action
report. Subsequent contract action reports will show the updated address.

(viii) Modifications for re-representation actions (see FAR 19.301-2 and 19.301-3) shall use either

“Re-representation” or “Re-representation of Non-Novated Merger/Acquisition”, as appropriate, in

the “Reason for Modification” field. When this value is used, FPDS allows the contracting officer to

update the “Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” data field. The contracting officer

shall ensure that the contractor’s current size status is appropriately recorded on the modification

contract action report. Subsequent contract action reports will reflect the size entered on this

modification contract action report.

(ix) When a modification is reported with “Termination for Default” or “Termination for Cause” in

the “Reason for Modification” data field, the user must also report the termination to the Federal

Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) in accordance with FAR

42.1503(h) requirements.

(5) Reporting awards where the GPC is both the method of purchase and payment.

(i) Do not report open-market purchases (i.e., not under a Federal Supply schedule, agreement, or

contract) made with the GPC valued less than the micro-purchase threshold to FPDS.

(ii) Purchases made using the GPC as the method of both purchase and payment under federal

schedules, agreements, or contracts are required to be reported to FPDS regardless of value.

Contracting offices shall ensure all such purchases made by their authorized cardholders are

reported to FPDS no less frequently than monthly. Any individual purchase valued greater than

$25,000 shall be reported individually to FPDS. For individual purchases valued less than $25,000,

there are three acceptable methods for reporting to FPDS. They are, in preferred order of use—

(A) Report each order individually to FPDS;

(B) Report a consolidated express report to FPDS using the delivery order or BPA call format that

references the individual contract or BPA, respectively; or

(C) Report a consolidated express report to FPDS using the purchase order format that uses the

generic DUNS 136721250 for “GPC Consolidated Reporting” or 136721292 for “GPC Foreign

Contractor Consolidated Reporting”, as appropriate, as the identifier. Note that when a generic

DUNS number is used to report these actions, only “Other than Small Business” is allowed as the

“Contracting Officer’s Determination of Business Size” selection.

(iii) For orders placed on FedMall, contracting officers are not required to separately report such

awards to FPDS.

(6) Using generic DUNS numbers.

(i) Generic DUNS numbers may only be used for reporting to FPDS in accordance with FAR 4.605(c)

or paragraph 204.606 (5)(ii)(C) of this section. Note that if a generic DUNS number is used on the

report to FPDS, systems that prepopulate data based on the DUNS number reported to FPDS may

not be able to use the DUNS number for further reporting on that contract action because the

contractor identification information is not accurately reflected. For example, assessing officials

cannot report past performance reports to the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting

System (CPARS) (see FAR Subpart 42.15) if a generic DUNS number was used to report the action

to FPDS. Additionally, some reporting requirements placed on the contractor, such as subcontract

reporting required by FAR subparts 4.14 and 19.7, are not able to be completed. Therefore, it is

important that the use of generic DUNS numbers in reporting to FPDS be rare and only when
necessary.

(ii) The following generic DUNS numbers are available for use in contract reporting only if the

conditions in FAR 4.605(c) or paragraph 204.606 (5)(ii)(C) of this section apply:

(A) DUNS 167445928 – Student Workers in Laboratories. Used to report actions awarded to student

workers providing goods/services in government laboratories (or other government facilities) when

obtaining a DUNS number would place a financial hardship on the student. Corresponding CAGE

code in the System for Award Management (SAM): 35HL9.

(B) DUNS 123456787 – Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees. Used to report actions awarded to vendors

located outside the United States providing goods/services when a specific DUNS number is not

available. Corresponding CAGE code in SAM: 35KC0.

(C) DUNS 136666505 – Spouses of Service Personnel. Used to report actions awarded to service

personnel dependents located and providing goods/services outside the United States when

obtaining a DUNS number would place a financial hardship on the dependent. Corresponding CAGE

code in SAM: 3JDV7.

(D) DUNS 167446249 – Navy Vessel Purchases In Foreign Ports. Used to report actions awarded to

vendors located outside the United States providing goods/services in support of vessels located in

foreign ports when a specific DUNS number is not available. Corresponding CAGE code in SAM:

35KD3.

(E) DUNS 153906193 – Foreign Utility Consolidated Reporting. Used to report procurement actions

awarded to vendors located outside the United States providing utilities goods/services when a

specific DUNS number is not available. Corresponding CAGE code in SAM: 3JDX5.

(F) DUNS 790238638 – Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed). Used to report actions awarded to

vendors located in the United States where identifying the vendor could cause harm to the mission

or the vendor (for example, domestic shelters). Corresponding CAGE code in SAM: 3JEH0.

(G) DUNS 790238851 – Foreign Awardees (Undisclosed). Used to report actions awarded to vendors

located outside the United States when identifying the vendor could cause harm to the mission or

the vendor. Corresponding CAGE code in SAM: 3JEV3.

(H) DUNS 136721250 – GPC Consolidated Reporting. Used to report orders and calls issued via the

GPC under indefinite-delivery type contracts and agreements to businesses located in the United

States, and the identity of the DUNS number for the vendor is not available to the office reporting

the action. Corresponding CAGE code in SAM: 3JDW4.

(I) DUNS 136721292 – GPC Foreign Contractor Consolidated Reporting. Used to report orders and

calls issued via the GPC under indefinite delivery type contracts and agreements to businesses

located outside the United States, and the identity of the DUNS number for the vendor is not

available to the office reporting the action. Corresponding CAGE code in SAM: 3JDV9.

(7) Contract Action Report Status.

(i) The “Status” data element on contract action reports indicates whether an award is still open or

officially “closed” and applies to the family of actions comprising the contract or order (i.e., includes

all modifications to that contract or order). Values in this field will either be null (blank), indicating

that the contract is still open; or “Closed,” indicating the contract or order has completed closeout

activities in accordance with FAR 4.804, as supplemented. Awards without the “Closed” status are
assumed to still be open and either still within the established delivery dates or period of

performance, or in a post-performance period preparing for closeout.

(ii) The “Status” is changed to “Closed” in one of three ways:

(A) User reports a modification using “Closeout” in the “Reason for Modification” field. This should

be rare and only occur when a modification being issued actually closes the award in that

modification (not just prepares for it). If a contract action report is finalized with “Closeout” as the

value, it will no longer be able to be corrected by the user. Users will need to contact the FPDS help

desk to perform any corrections.

(B) User with “Closeout” privileges in FPDS marks the award as closed. This will be rare in DoD;

only the DoD and Service lead system administrators will be given these privileges.

(C) An agency system sends a “Close” notice via web services to FPDS.

(iii) When the “Status” is changed to “Closed” that status is applied to the contract or order and all

of its subsequent modifications. Closed notices received for task, delivery, and call orders placed

under IDCs or agreements do not cause the IDC or agreement to be closed. Closed notices received

for IDCs or agreements do not cause task, delivery, and call orders placed under them to be closed.

(iv) Once a contract or order, and its modifications, has been marked as “Closed” the user or agency

cannot change the status and will need to contact the FPDS help desk to remove the status if it was

marked in error.

(iii) Completion of block 10 is not required, when the contracting office accepts the closeout date in

block 9d of the DD Form 1594 (or agency equivalent) and the contract completion statement is
posted to the Electronic Data Access (EDA) system as required by PGI 204.804-2.

(iv) Closeouts posted to EDA are considered part of the contract file and do not need to be

duplicated in any other version of the contract file.

(v) A contract modification is not needed to deobligate excess funds when block 5 is completed, and

this deobligation will occur upon distribution of the contract completion statement. Send a

notification and a copy of the contract completion statement to the comptroller to allow general

ledger reconciliation.

be automatically closed using automated contract closeout procedures after all orders are closed

and the ordering period has expired.

(3)(iv) A department or agency requesting a waiver of any provisions of acquisition law or regulation

to carry out the closeout procedures shall forward the request and any supporting documentation to

the Office of the Principal Director, Defense Pricing and Contracting (Contract Policy) via email to

osd.pentagon.ousd-a-s.mbx.asda-dp-c-contractpolicy@mail.mil. The Principal Director, Defense

Pricing and Contracting, will forward the request to USD(A&S), as appropriate.
PGI 204.804-1 Closeout by the office administering the contract.

(1) Locally developed forms or a statement of completion may be used instead of the DD Form 1594,

Contract Completion Statement, and use the administration office closeout date. Whichever method

is used, the form shall be retained in the contract file and copies sent to EDA and financial systems

using the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) 567

transaction set.

(2) For contracts valued above the simplified acquisition threshold and not subject to the automated

closeout procedures at PGI 204.804-3 , prepare a DD Form 1597, Contract Closeout Check List (or

agency equivalent), to ensure that all required contract actions have been satisfactorily

accomplished.

PGI 204.804-2 Closeout of the contracting office files if another office administers the

contract.

(1) When an office other than the contracting office administers the contract, the administering

office shall—

(i) Provide the contracting office an interim contract completion statement when the contract is

physically completed using the ANSI X12 567;

(ii) Prepare a DD Form 1597, Contract Closeout Check List or agency equivalent, if necessary, to

determine that all the required actions have been completed;

PGI 204.11 -SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT

PGI 204.1103 Procedures.

The System for Award Management (SAM) website at http://www.acquisition.gov/ provides useful

documents and on-line training to assist with SAM navigation and data entry. User Guides and

Demonstration Videos can be found in the User Help section after clicking the HELP link at the top

of the website homepage. The former Central Contractor Registration and Online Representations

and Certifications Application data can be located in the Entity Management area of SAM which can

be accessed by navigating the following path after logging into the SAM website. Select Tab -

MYSAM, Tab - Data Access and Tab - Entity Management

(i) Use the SAM database as the primary source of contractor information for contract award and

administration, to include supporting contract writing, management, and administration systems. Do

not request or use contractor information from other sources, unless another source is specifically

authorized. At a minimum, supporting systems shall use the SAM database as the authoritative

source for the following data elements, as applicable by system, when SAM is required in

accordance with FAR Subpart 4.11:

(A) Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number.

(B) DUNS+4 Number.
(C) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code.

(D) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).

(E) Legal Business Name.

(F) Doing Business As (DBA) Name.

(G) Physical Address.

(H) Mailing Address.

(I) Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information (includes American Banking Association (ABA)

Routing Number, Account Number, and Account Type).

(ii) Ensure that SAM non-disclosure requirements regarding TIN and EFT information are followed.

PGI 204.16 -UNIFORM PROCUREMENT INSTRUMENT

IDENTIFIERS

PGI 204.1601 Policy.

(b) Transition of PIID numbering. Components are encouraged to transition to the Procurement

Instrument Identifier (PIID) numbering schema as soon as possible, but no later than the date

specified at DFARS 204.1601(b).

(c)(i) A continued contract is issued solely for administrative reasons. When issuing a continued

contract, the contracting officer shall perform the following tasks:

(A) Obtain approval at a level above the contracting officer before issuance of the continued

contract.

(B) Assign a PIID to the continued contract that is different from the PIID assigned to the

predecessor contract, using the uniform PIID numbering system prescribed in FAR 4.1603 and

DFARS 204.1603. The predecessor contract will retain the PIID originally assigned to it.

(C) Find a clear breaking point (e.g., between issuance of orders, exercise of options, or

establishment of a new line of accounting) to issue the continued contract.

(D) Clearly segregate contractual requirements for purposes of Government inspection, acceptance,

payment, and closeout. Supplies already delivered and services already performed under the

predecessor contract will remain under the predecessor contract. This will allow the predecessor

contract to be closed out when all inspection, acceptance, payment, and other closeout issues

associated with supplies delivered and services performed under the predecessor contract are

complete.

(E) Include in the continued contract all terms and conditions of the predecessor contract that

pertain to the supplies and services yet to be delivered or performed. At the time it is issued, the

continued contract may not in any way alter the prices or terms and conditions established in the

predecessor contract.
(F) Provide advance notice to the contractor before issuance of the continued contract, to include

the PIID and the effective date of the continued contract.

(G) Modify the predecessor contract to—

(1) Reflect any necessary administrative changes such as transfer of Government property, and

make the Government property accountable under the continued contract;

(2) Clearly state that future performance (e.g., issuance of orders or exercise of options) will be

accomplished under the continued contract; and

(3) Specify the administrative reason for issuing the continued contract.

(H) Reference the predecessor contract PIID on the face page of the continued contract to ensure

traceability.

(ii) Sample language for the administrative modification to the predecessor contract follows:

This modification is issued for administrative purposes to facilitate continued contract performance

due to [state the reason for assigning an additional PIID]. This modification is authorized in

accordance with FAR 4.1601 and DFARS 204.1601.

Supplies and services already acquired under this contract number shall remain solely under this

contract number for purposes of Government inspection, acceptance, payment, and closeout. All

future [delivery orders] [task orders] [options exercised] will be accomplished under continued

contract [insert contract number].

PGI 204.1603 Procedures.

(a)(3)(A)(3) Legacy contract writing systems authorized to use the letter T in position 9 of the PIID

for automated requests for quotation include the following:

(i) Department of Navy’s Item Management and Procurement (ITIMP) system.

(ii) Defense Logistics Agency’s Enterprise Business System (EBS).

(4) Positions 10 through 17. Positions 10 through 13 of a DoD-issued PIID shall not be a sequence of

four zeroes (i.e., “0000”).

(b) Elements of a supplementary PIID.

(1) Position 1. Use a “U” in position 1 (e.g., “U00001”) in lieu of an “A” or “P”, as necessary, to

process draft modifications through contract writing systems and associated applications. Change

the “U” to an “A” or “P” prior to award to comply with FAR and DFARS standards.

(2) Positions 2 through 6. Examples of proper numbering for positions 2 through 6 are as follows:

PGI 204.18 -COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT ENTITY

CODE

PGI 204.1870 Procedures.

PGI 204.1870-1 Instructions to contracting officers.

Contracting officers shall—

(a) Assist offerors in obtaining the required Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) codes. Note

that if an offeror’s facility requires security clearance in accordance with a potential contract, the

offeror is required to have a CAGE code assigned to that facility. If the facility is a location other

than the offeror’s office submitting the proposal, that facility is not required to be separately

registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to have a CAGE code assigned.

Offerors may be directed to the DLA CAGE Branch (see PGI 204.1870-2 (c) for contact information);

(b) Not deny a potential offeror a solicitation package because the offeror does not have a CAGE

code, DUNS number, or TIN;

(c) Not require a contractor to register sections or locations of their organization in SAM for reasons

not already required by clauses present in their contracts in order to obtain a CAGE code; and

(d) Not require a contractor to obtain new CAGE codes or change CAGE code records assigned to
their locations solely for Government administration purposes (such as a result of a Government

reorganization, change in Government contracting officer or office) or for distinction in Government

systems beyond physical address and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) data.

PGI 204.1870-2 Maintenance of the CAGE file.

The following information and procedures are provided to assist contracting officers.

(a) Assignment of CAGE codes for entities located in the United States or its outlying areas.

(1) CAGE codes are assigned per legal entity at individual physical addresses (i.e., the same entity at

the same physical address will not be assigned two or more CAGE codes). The only exception to this

rule is when an entity has a registration in the SAM with multiple EFT addresses identified by

multiple DUNS+4 numbers. In this case, each DUNS+4 number record is assigned a separate CAGE

code to assist in correct processing of payments.

(2) CAGE codes are not assigned to mailing addresses; a physical address shall be provided. Neither

U.S. Post Office boxes nor addresses that can be identified as belonging to commercial mail and/or

shipping provider locations will be accepted as physical addresses.

(3) CAGE codes are not assigned to entities where the provided physical address is identified as a

short-term virtual location, such as mobile offices, commercial packaging/mailing facilities (e.g., UPS

stores, FedEx stores), mailbox rentals and certain business incubator locations if the majority of the

operations are not performed from that incubator location. A sole proprietor, partnership, corporate

entity, or other business organization shall have a principal place of business, even if it is a home

office, from where the business operates and record books are maintained. In that case, a home

address of an officer of the company or board member would be required.

(4) Individuals who register in SAM as sole proprietors are assigned CAGE codes. However, there

may not be multiple CAGE codes assigned to the same location even if the entity names are

differentiated by establishing a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) (e.g., “John Smith” and “John

Smith, LLC”). Additionally, the standard for the legal business name for sole proprietors, driven by

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) standards, is the use of the individual’s personal name. Any

additional name used for the sole proprietorship should be identified as a doing business as (DBA)

name (e.g., “John Smith” is the legal business name, “Smith Construction” is the DBA).

(5) Authorized agents or brokers may be assigned CAGE codes for identification and processing

purposes. A single CAGE code will be assigned to the agent or broker entity in addition to any codes

assigned to the entities represented by the agent or broker (i.e., only one code will be assigned to a

specific agent or broker entity regardless of the number of firms represented by that agent or

broker). Codes will not be assigned to an agent or broker in care of the entity being represented or

in any way infer that the agent or broker is a separate establishment bearing the name of the entity

represented by the agent or broker.

(6) There are some cases where both the owner of real property and a separate legal entity located

at the same address as the real property each are required to have CAGE codes assigned. Examples

are an office building owner and a tenant in the office building, or a land owner and a company

using all or a portion of the land to farm. Additional cases exist where two separate entities may

lease office space in the same building and both require CAGE codes. In both of these situations, the

most specific physical address will be requested (i.e., specific additions of suites, floors, or room

numbers) to distinguish between the two entities. If no more specific physical address is able to be
identified, then documentation such as that listed in PGI 204.1870-2 (c)(3)(i)(A) will be requested to

ensure that the entities are separate legal entities.

(b) NCAGE code assignment for entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas

managed via established NATO processes. SAM records received by the CAGE code system for

validation shall—

(1) Include an NCAGE that has been received from the NATO Support Agency’s (NSPA’s) common

database. The frequency with which local country code bureaus update the common database differs

by the country. While most updates occur within a week, it can take up to a month to process. The

CAGE code system will hold a validation request from SAM for three (3) days before rejecting it

because the NCAGE does not appear to exist; and

(2) Include a legal business name and physical address that matches the address on the NSPA

database in order to be validated.

(c) Changes of information on the CAGE code record.

(1) The DLA CAGE Branch accepts written requests for changes to CAGE files from the following

sources:

(i) The company, organization, or sole proprietor entity identified by the code, if located in the

United States or its outlying areas.

(A) For CAGE records for which there is a corresponding registration in SAM, the entity shall update

their Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) record to begin the process and then proceed to update and submit

their SAM registration for validation. If the update includes a change to the entity’s legal business

name, the additional steps at PGI 204.1870-2 (c)(3)(i)(C) will be necessary.

(B) For CAGE records for which there is not a corresponding registration in SAM, the entity shall

use company letterhead to request a change to their CAGE code record. Submit requests for

changes to CAGE files, when there is not a corresponding SAM record, at https://cage.dla.mil or

using a DD Form 2051 (available at http://dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/eforms/dd2051.pdf). The

form may be emailed to cagemail@dla.mil, or a hard copy mailed to—

DLA CAGE Branch

74 Washington Avenue

Battle Creek, MI 49037

Telephone Number: toll-free 877-352-2255

(ii) The Government contracting office on agency letterhead.

(iii) The Government contract administration office on agency letterhead.

(2) The DLA CAGE branch refers requests for changes to CAGE files from entities located outside

the United States and its outlying areas as follows:

(i) Entities located in a NATO or NATO-sponsored nation shall contact their codification bureau. A

listing of codification bureaus is found at

http://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm.
(ii) Entities located in a country that is neither in NATO nor sponsored by NATO shall contact the

NATO Support Agency (NSPA) at ncage@nspa.nato.int or request update after searching for their

CAGE code at https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx.

(3) When a request is received by DLA (either directly or via an entity-updated SAM registration

submitted for validation) that includes a change to the entity’s legal business name as recorded

within the CAGE file, the DLA team will contact the entity and process the request in accordance

with the following procedure:

(i) If the entity indicates that it does not hold any active federal Government contracts or any

outstanding invoices on a physically complete contract, the entity will be asked to provide the

following to DLA—

(A) Signed legal documentation that confirms the formal name change and accurately reflects the

change requested. Examples of acceptable documentation include: Articles of Incorporation, Articles

of Organization, Bill of Sale, Asset Purchase Agreement, Secretary of State documentation, and

Legal Merger or Acquisition documentation. DLA will not accept Internal Review Service (IRS)

documentation or validation, as the IRS does not require the use of the legal business name. Sole

proprietors will need to provide their filings for one of the following: Fictitious Business Name,

Assumed Name, Trade Style Name, or Business License. DLA may use information found at state

government websites in lieu of requesting documentation from the entity to confirm the name if it is

available;

(B) Written statement that they do not have active federal contracts or any outstanding invoices on a

physically complete contract; and

(C) After receipt of the documentation in (A) and (B), DLA will process the change. If the initial

request was received from SAM as a part of the CAGE validation process, the processed change will

be communicated back to SAM.

(ii) If the entity indicates it does hold active Federal Government contracts, the entity will be asked

to provide an indication in writing (may be provided by email) if the change in legal business name is

a result of an acquisition, merger, or other situation related to recognition of a successor in interest

to Federal Government contracts when contractor assets are transferred, which would necessitate a

novation agreement be executed.

(A) If the entity indicates that the change in legal business name is not a result of an acquisition

merger or other situation as indicated above; the entity will be asked to confirm, in writing (may be

provided by email) that it has advised each of the respective Government contracting officers

necessary to process name-change agreements in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.12 requirements.

Additionally, DLA will ask the entity to provide a copy of the change-of-name agreement (see FAR

42.1205) signed by the entity. DLA will not process a change to the CAGE file without a copy of the

signed change-of-name agreement, or confirmation from the cognizant Government contracting

officer that processing a change to the CAGE file prior to the signed change-of-name agreement

being completed is permissible. Note that the modification action that incorporates the change-ofname agreement into the contract is an acceptable method of providing the change-of-name

agreement. However, if the modification is not able to be issued until the CAGE code information is

updated, the change-of-name agreement itself will suffice.

(B) If the entity indicates that the change in legal business name is a result of an acquisition,

merger, or other situation as indicated above, DLA will request the entity to provide the Novation

Agreement that has been executed by the cognizant Government contracting officer (see FAR
42.1204) as well as the contact information for that contracting officer. DLA may, based on the

content of the Novation Agreement, request that the contracting officer provide additional

information regarding any Government interest in whether CAGE codes are transferred to the

successor in interest. DLA will not process a change to the CAGE file without a copy of the executed

Novation Agreement, or confirmation from the cognizant Government contracting officer that

processing a change to the CAGE file prior to the novation agreement being completed is

permissible. Note that the modification action that incorporates the Novation Agreement into the

contract is an acceptable method of providing the Novation Agreement. However, if the modification

is not able to be issued until the CAGE code information is updated, the Novation Agreement itself

will suffice.

(1) When contacted by DLA in relation to a name change resulting from a novation, contracting

officers shall provide DLA the following information:

(i) Name(s), address(es), and code(s) of the contractor(s) transferring the original contractual rights

and obligations (transferor).

(ii) Name(s), address(es), and code(s) (if any) of the entity who is the successor in interest

(transferee).

(iii) Name(s), address(es), and code(s) (if any) of the entity who is retaining or receiving the rights to

the technical data.

(iv) Description of the circumstances surrounding the novation agreement and especially the

relationship of each entity to the other.

(2) Note that if the name change request was received as a part of a registration from SAM update,

and this situation applies, the update will be sent back to SAM as rejected by CAGE validation if a

copy of the executed Novation Agreement or confirmation from the cognizant Government

contracting officer is not available within 10 business days. The entity may resubmit the update in

SAM with the changed legal name at such point this information becomes available.

(4) If the initial request was received from SAM as a part of the CAGE validation process, a

processed change will be communicated back to SAM.

(5) Note that DLA does not follow the process outlined in (c)(3) above for minor changes in the legal

business name received from SAM during validation, such as changing an “and” to “&”; inserting or

removing abbreviations, such as changing “Co.” to “Company”; inserting or removing a space

between words in an entity’s name; or inserting or removing acronyms or wording identifying a type

of incorporated status, such as “Inc.” or “LLC”. These changes are processed and communicated

back to SAM.

PGI 204.71 -UNIFORM CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERING

SYSTEM

PGI 204.7103 Contract line items.

(a) Separately identifiable contract line and subline items (i.e., all except those with characteristics

described in DFARS 204.7103-1(a)(2)(iii) or 204.7104-1(a)) shall include a description of the item or

service being procured, the associated Product or Service Code (PSC), the quantity, a unit of

measure, defined acceptance and inspection locations and requirements, and the delivery schedule

or performance period. Contracts for contingency operations shall include the project code at the

line item level on each contract action. The list of applicable codes is maintained at

http://www.dla.mil/j-6/dlmso/elibrary/ServicePoints/CD_ProjCd_nopoc.docx. The contracting officer

is responsible for coordinating any changes from the purchase request to the contract with the
requiring activity.

(1) The list of active PSCs is available on the Federal Procurement Data System website under the

‘Worksite’ section under ‘Reference’.

(2) The list of available units of measure is on the Defense Pricing and Contracting website at

https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/ds/docs/pds/Line_Item_UoM_List.xlsx .

(3) Delivery and acceptance locations shall be defined using Activity Address Codes published in (1)

DoD Activity Address Directory (DODAAD), DoD 4000.25-6-M, or (2) Military Assistance Program

Address Directory System (MAPAD), DoD 4000.25-8-M and available for verification at

https://www.daas.dla.mil/daasinq/default.asp.

(4) No activity shall be assigned acceptance responsibility unless that activity has acceptors

registered in Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF). Available roles for an Activity Address Code can be

verified at the Active DoDAACs & Roles link on the WAWF homepage at https://wawf.eb.mil/.

(b) Fixed price line items shall include unit prices and total prices. Cost type line items shall not

include unit prices, but shall contain the appropriate elements in accordance with FAR part 16. Not

separately priced line items shall be so labeled. The notation “No Charge” shall not be used.

(c) The requirements at paragraph (a) and (b) shall be included in the appropriate parts of the

contract Schedule.

(d) In structuring line items, especially on fixed-price contracts, due consideration shall be given to

the effect of the chosen units of measure on administration and payment. No contract line item shall

contain a quantity less than the number of deliveries anticipated on the line item. Contracting

officers shall consider the need for periodic deliveries and payments in selecting a unit of measure.

Included in this analysis shall be the impact of any financing arrangements under FAR part 32.

(i) Supplies: Line item quantities shall match the actual count of the supplies to be provided. For

instance, if more than one delivery is expected, the quantity cannot be “1.”

(ii) Services: Line item quantities shall match the frequency with which performance will be

reviewed, and on fixed-price line items, payment made. For example, a contract with a twelve-month

period of performance should have a quantity and unit of measure suited to how the contract will be

managed. If the intent is to review, accept, and pay for the services monthly, then the quantity

should be 12, with a unit of measure such as “Months” or “Lots.” If the intent is to review, accept,

and pay for the services quarterly, then the quantity should be 4, with a unit of measure such as

“Lot”. If the quantity used is 1, then no payment for delivery can occur until the end of the period of

performance. Services with tangible deliveries, such as repairs, shall be structured like supply line

items.

(e) The following examples illustrate when the requirements at paragraph (a) apply—

(1) Separately identifiable subline items. The rule applies to subline items 0001AA and 0001AB. It

does not apply to the line item 0001, because it does not have a deliverable.

PGI 204.7103-2 Numbering procedures.

(a) Contract line items shall consist of four numeric digits 0001 through 9999. Do not use numbers

beyond 9999. Within a given contract, the item numbers shall be sequential but need not be

consecutive.

(b) The contract line item number shall be the same as the solicitation line item number unless there

is a valid reason for using different numbers.

(c) Once a contract line item number has been assigned, it shall not be assigned to another,

different, contract line item in the same contract.

PGI 204.7104 Contract subline items.

PGI 204.7104-2 Numbering procedures.

(a) Number subline items by adding either two numeric characters or two alpha characters to the

basic contract line item number.

(1) Information subline item numbers. Use numeric characters only for information subline items,

running 01 through 99. Do not use spaces or special characters to separate the subline item number

from the contract line item number that is its root. For example, if the contract line item number is

0001, the first three subline items would be 000101, 000102, and 000103. Do not use a designation

more than once within a contract line item.

(2) Separately identified subline items. Use alpha characters only for separately identified subline

items, running AA through ZZ. Do not use spaces or special characters to separate the subline item

number from the contract line item number that is its root. For example, if the contract line item

number is 0001, the first three subline items would be 0001AA, 0001AB, and 0001AC.
(i) Do not use the letters I or O as alpha characters.

(ii) Use all 24 available alpha characters in the second position before selecting a different alpha

character for the first position. For example, AA, AB, AC, through AZ before beginning BA, BB, and

BC.

(b) Within a given contract line item, the subline item numbers shall be sequential but need not be

consecutive.

(c) Exhibits may be used as an alternative to setting forth in the schedule a long list of contract

subline items. If exhibits are used, create a contract subline item citing the exhibit's identifier. See

DFARS 204.7105.

(d) If a contract line item involves ancillary functions, like packaging and handling, transportation,

payment of state or local taxes, or use of reusable containers, and these functions are normally

performed by the contractor and the contractor is normally entitled to reimbursement for

performing these functions, do not establish a separate subline item solely to account for these

functions. However, do identify the functions in the contract schedule. If an offeror separately prices

these functions, the contracting officer may establish separate subline items for the functions;

however, the separate subline items must conform to the requirements of DFARS 204.7104-1.

(e) The following examples illustrate subline items numbering—

(1) Subline items structured to identify destinations for identical items, identically priced (delivery

schedule shall be established for each subline item, not the contract line item).

PGI 204.7105 Contract exhibits and attachments.

(a) Use of exhibits.

(1) Exhibits may be used instead of putting a long list of contract line items or subline items in the

contract schedule. Exhibits are particularly useful in buying spare parts.

(2) When using exhibits, establish a contract line or subline item and refer to the exhibit.

(3) Identify exhibits individually.

(4) Each exhibit shall apply to only one contract line item or subline item.

(5) More than one exhibit may apply to a single contract line item.

(6) Data items on a DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List, may be either separately

priced or not separately priced.

(i) Separately priced. When data are separately priced, enter the price in Section B of the contract.

(ii) Not separately priced. Include prices in a priced contract line item or subline item.
(7) The contracting officer may append attachments to exhibits, as long as the attachment does not

identify a deliverable requirement that has not been established by a contract line item or subline

item or exhibit line item.

(8) Include exhibit line items and associated information in the electronically distributed contract

documents identified in PGI 204.201 (3)(i)(A) and (B).

(b) Numbering exhibits and attachments.

(1) Use alpha characters to identify exhibits. The alpha characters shall be either single or double

capital letters. Do not use the letters I or O.

(2) Once an identifier has been assigned to an exhibit, do not use it on another exhibit in the same

contract.

(3) The identifier shall always appear in the first or first and second positions of all applicable exhibit

line item numbers.

(4) If the exhibit has more than one page, cite the procurement instrument identification number,

exhibit identifier, and applicable contract line or subline item number on each page.

(5) Use numbers to identify attachments.

(c) Numbering exhibit line items.

(1) Criteria for establishing. The criteria for establishing exhibit line items are the same as those for

establishing contract line items (see DFARS 204.7103).

(2) Procedures for numbering.

(i) Number items in an exhibit in a manner similar to contract line items.

(ii) Number line items using a four-position number.

(A) The first position or the first and second position contain the exhibit identifier.

(B) The third and fourth positions contain the alpha or numeric character serial numbers assigned to

the line item when using a double letter exhibit identifier. The second, third and fourth positions

contain the alpha or numeric character serial numbers assigned to the line item when using a single

letter exhibit identifier.

(iii) Exhibit line item numbers shall be sequential within the exhibit.

(3) Examples.

(i) Two-position serial number for double letter exhibit identifier.

PGI 204.7107 Contract accounting classification reference number (ACRN)

and agency accounting identifier (AAI).

(a) Establishing the contract ACRN.

(1) The contracting office issuing the contract is responsible for assigning ACRNs. This authority

shall not be delegated. If more than one office will use the contract (e.g., ordering officers, other

contracting officers), the contract must contain instructions for assigning ACRNs.

(2) ACRNs shall be established in accordance with the following guidelines:

(i) Do not use the letters I and O.

(ii) In no case shall an ACRN apply to more than one accounting classification citation, nor shall

more than one ACRN be assigned to one accounting classification citation.

(b) Establishing an AAI. An AAI, as detailed

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/policy/policyvault/USA002246-09-DPAP.pdf, is a six-digit data element
that identifies a system in which accounting for specific funds is performed. The funding office will

provide to the contracting office the AAI associated with the funding for each line item.

(c) Capturing accounting and appropriations data in procurement. Procurement instruments shall

identify the funding used for the effort in one of two ways.

(1) In legacy system environments where the contracting and accounting processes are not

sufficiently integrated to ensure use of the Procurement Instrument Identifiers (PIIDs) (see DFARS

Subpart 204.16) and line item numbers as common keys, the contract shall include the accounting

and appropriations data and ACRN as follows:

(i) Show the ACRN as a detached prefix to the accounting classification citation in the accounting

and appropriations data block or, if there are too many accounting classification citations to fit

reasonably in that block, in section G (Contract Administration Data).

(ii) ACRNs need not prefix accounting classification citations if the accounting classification citations

are present in the contract only for the transportation officer to cite to Government bills of lading.

(iii) If the contracting officer is making a modification to a contract and using the same accounting

classification citations, which have had ACRNs assigned to them, the modification need cite only the

ACRNs in the accounting and appropriations data block or on the continuation sheets.

(iv) Showing the ACRN in the contract. If there is more than one ACRN in a contract, all the ACRNs

will appear in several places in the schedule (e.g., ACRN: AA).

(A) Ship-to/mark-for block. Show the ACRN beside the identity code of each activity in the shipto/mark-for block unless only one accounting classification citation applies to a line item or subline

item. Only one ACRN may be assigned to the same ship-to/mark-for within the same contract line or

subline item number unless multiple accounting classification citations apply to a single

nonseverable deliverable unit such that the item cannot be related to an individual accounting

classification citation.

(B) Supplies/services column.

(1) If only one accounting classification citation applies to a line item or a subline item, the ACRN

shall be shown in the supplies/services column near the item description.

(2) If more than one accounting classification citation applies to a single contract line item, identify

each assigned ACRN and the amount of associated funds using informational subline items (see

DFARS 204.7104-1(a)).

(2) The contract shall include AAIs and ACRNs in system environments where the accounting

systems are able to use PIIDs and line item numbers as common keys to enable traceability of

funding to contract actions. Include AAIs and ACRNs as follows:

(i) Showing the ACRN in the contract. If there is more than one ACRN in a contract, all the ACRNs

will appear in several places in the schedule (e.g., ACRN: AA).

(A) Ship-to/mark-for block. Show the ACRN beside the identity code of each activity in the shipto/mark-for block unless only one accounting classification citation applies to a line item or subline

item. Only one ACRN may be assigned to the same ship-to/mark-for within the same contract line or

subline item number unless multiple accounting classification citations apply to a single

nonseverable deliverable unit such that the item cannot be related to an individual accounting
classification citation.

(B) Supplies/services column.

(1) If only one accounting classification citation applies to a line item or a subline item, the ACRN

shall be shown in the supplies/services column near the item description.

(2) If more than one accounting classification citation applies to a single contract line item, identify

each assigned ACRN and the amount of associated funds using informational subline items (see

DFARS 204.7104-1(a)).

(ii) Showing the AAI in the contract. If there is more than one AAI in a contract, show the AAI in the

supplies/services column of the Schedule next to the ACRN. A sample showing the AAI is as follows:

PGI 204.7108 Payment instructions.

(a) Scope. This section applies to contracts and orders that are funded by multiple accounting

classification reference number (ACRN) citations and—

(1) Include deliverable line items or deliverable subline items (see FAR 4.1005-1) that are funded by

multiple ACRNs; or

(2) Authorize financing payments.

(b) For contracts and orders covered by this subpart—

(1) The contracting officer shall insert the table at paragraph (b)(2), or a link to the table at (b)(2)

(https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi/pgi_htm/current/PGI204_71.htm#pay...) in Section G of the

contract, or equivalent. When some, but not all, of the fixed-price line items in a contract are subject

to contract financing payments, the contracting officer shall clearly identify to which line items the

payment clause(s) included in Section I of the contract apply.

(2) The payment office shall allocate and record the amounts paid from the ACRNs in the contract

using the table in this paragraph (b)(2) based on the type of payment request submitted (see DFARS

252.232-7006) and the type of effort identified by the Product Service Code for each deliverable line

item or subline item (see FAR 4.1005-1).

PGI 204.7303-3 Cyber incident and compromise reporting.

(a) When a cyber incident is reported by a contractor, the DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) will send

an unclassified encrypted email containing the cyber incident report to the contracting officer(s)

identified on the Incident Collection Format (ICF). The DC3 may request the contracting officer send

a digitally signed e-mail to DC3.

(1) The procuring contracting officer (PCO) shall notify the requiring activities that have contracts

identified in the ICF. In cases where an administrative contracting officer (ACO) receives the cyber

incident report, in lieu of the PCO, the ACO shall notify the PCO for each affected contract, who will

then notify the requiring activity.

(2) In cases of cyber incidents involving multiple contracts, the DoD components will collaboratively

designate a single contracting officer to coordinate additional actions required of the contractor, on

behalf of the affected DoD components. The requiring activity will notify the contracting officer once

a lead is designated.

(3) If the requiring activity requests an assessment of compliance with the requirements of the

clause at DFARS 252.204-7012 related to the cyber incident, the contracting officer shall—

(i) Consult with the DoD component Chief Information Officer (CIO)/cyber security office;

(ii) Request a description of the contractor’s implementation of the security requirements in NIST SP

800-171, “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and

Organizations” (see http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-171) in order to support evaluation of

whether any of the controls were inadequate, or if any of the controls were not implemented at the

time of the incident; and

(iii) Provide a copy of the assessment of contractor compliance to the requiring activity, the DoD CIO

at osd.dibcsia@mail.mil, and the other contracting officers listed in the cyber incident report.

(b) When requested by the contractor, the contracting officer shall provide the contractor with the

“Instructions for Malware Submission” document available at

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/docs/Instructions_for_Malware_Submissio.... The contracting

officer should never receive malicious software directly from the contractor.

(c) If the requiring activity requests access to contractor information or equipment, in accordance

with DFARS 252.204-7012(f), the contracting officer shall provide a written request to the

contractor.

(d) For additional information on cyber incident reporting, see the Frequently Asked Questions

document at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/pdi/network_penetration_reporting_and_contr....
PGI 204.7303-4 DoD damage assessment activities.

(a) Prior to initiating damage assessment activities, the contracting officer shall verify that any

contract identified in the cyber incident report includes the clause at DFARS 252.204-7012. If the

contracting officer determines that a contract identified in the report does not contain the clause,

the contracting officer shall notify the requiring activity that damage assessment activities, if

required, may be determined to constitute a change to the contract.

(b) In cases of cyber incidents involving multiple contracts, a single contracting officer will be

designated to coordinate with the contractor regarding media submission (see 204.7303-3 (a)(2)).

(c) If the requiring activity requests the contracting officer to obtain media, as defined in DFARS

252.204-7012, from the contractor, the contracting officer shall—

(1) Provide a written request for the media;

(2) Provide the contractor with the “Instructions for Media Submission” document available at

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi/docs/Instructions_for_Submitting_M...; and

(3) Provide a copy of the request to DC3, electronically via email at dcise@dc3.mil, and the requiring

activity.

(d) If the contracting officer is notified by the requiring activity that media are not required, the

contracting officer shall notify the contractor and simultaneously provide a copy of the notice to DC3

and the requiring activity.

(e) The contracting officer shall document the action taken as required by paragraph (c) or (d) of this

section, in the contract file.

(f) Upon receipt of the contractor media, DC3 will confirm receipt in writing to the contractor and

the requesting contracting officer.

(g) Once the requiring activity determines that the damage assessment activities are complete, the

requiring activity will provide the contracting officer with a report documenting the actions taken to

close out the cyber incident.

PGI 204.76 -SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE RISK SYSTEM

PGI 204.7603 Procedures.

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) provides item risk, price risk, and supplier risk

assessment on end products and price risk and supplier risk assessment on services. SPRS provides

item and price risk for end products using the material identifiers listed in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)

through (v). SPRS also provides a supplier risk score for the contractor that provided the product or

services. The contracting officer may consider item risk, price risk, and supplier risk assessments to

determine the performance risk of the offeror or product and to assess the risk of ongoing

contractor performance.

(a) Item risk.
(1) SPRS provides the contracting officer warnings and mitigation strategies for end products

identified by military departments or defense agencies as high risk (due to diminishing

manufacturing sources and material shortages, history of counterfeiting, etc.). End products are

identified by one or more of the following material identifiers:

(i) National Stock Number (NSN).

(ii) Internet Blog Serial Number (IBSN).

(iii) Universal Product Code (UPC).

(iv) Global Standards 1 (GS1).

(v) Manufacturer Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) and part number.

(2) Presolicitation. For items identified as high risk in SPRS or by the requiring activity in purchase

requests, the contracting officer shall mitigate this risk by including a clause that addresses first

article approval or certificate of conformance in the solicitation or by applying other risk mitigation

strategies.

(b) Price risk. SPRS provides the contracting officer warning of possible over- or under-payment

risks based on historical purchase data.

(c) Supplier risk. SPRS provides the contracting officer a score for the assessment of the

contractor’s performance. The supplier risk score includes data associated with the contractor’s

quality and delivery data.

(d) Evaluation of quotations or offers for supplies. During the evaluation of the offers received for

supplies or services that contain supplies, the contracting officer shall consider the risk assessments

available in SPRS.

(e) Award and documentation.

(1) In determining a price fair and reasonable, the contracting officer shall review the price risk data

provided in SPRS and follow the procedures at FAR 13.106 or 15.4 to make an award decision. In

the event that price risk has been identified, the contracting officer shall perform further price

analysis.

(2) In assessing offeror performance capabilities, the contracting officer shall review the supplier

risk data provided in SPRS and tailor the contract oversight for risk. Mitigate supplier risk by—

(i) Including clauses to strengthen oversight (e.g., a clause that addresses first article testing or

certificate of conformance); and

(ii) Removing discretionary clauses to recognize successful performance (e.g., a clause that

addresses first article testing).

(3) The contracting officer shall document the contract file on any action taken as a result of

information obtained from SPRS.
