Federal Acquisition Regulation; Unique Contract and Order Identifier Numbers

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) have agreed to issue an interim rule amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to require that Federal agencies assign a unique identifier for every contract, purchase order, BOA, Basic Agreement, and BPA reported to the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). Agencies must be in compliance with this requirement no later than October 1, 2003, when the next generation of FPDS, "FPDS-NG," becomes operational.
