If contact cannot be made for security reasons, obtain instructions from the Office of the Deputy to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Support, ATTN: Director for Special Programs.

SUBPART 204.71--UNIFORM CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERING SYSTEM

204.7100 Scope.
This subpart prescribes policies and procedures for assigning contract line item numbers.

204.7101 Definitions.
"Accounting classification reference number (ACRN)" means a two position alpha or alpha/numeric control code used as a method of relating the accounting classification citation to detailed line item information contained in the schedule.

"Attachment" means any documentation, appended to a contract or incorporated by reference, which does not establish a requirement for deliverables.

"Definitized item," as used in this subpart, means an item for which a firm price has been established in the basic contract or by modification.

"Exhibit" means a document, referred to in a contract, which is attached and establishes requirements for deliverables. The term shall not be used to refer to any other kind of attachment to a contract. The DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List, is always an exhibit, rather than an attachment.

"Nonseverable deliverable," as used in this subpart, means a deliverable item that is a single end product or undertaking, entire in nature, that cannot be feasibly subdivided into discrete elements or phases without losing its identity.

"Undefinitized item," as used in this subpart, means an item for which a price has not been established in the basic contract or by modification.

204.7102 Policy.

[see AFAC 92-49,B1]

204.7103 Contract line items.

204.7103-1 Criteria for establishing.

204.7103-2 Numbering procedures.

204.7104 Contract subline items.

Contract subline items provide flexibility to further identify elements within a contract line item for tracking performance or simplifying administration. There are only two kinds of subline items: those which are informational in nature and those which consist of more than one item that requires separate identification.

204.7104-2 Numbering procedures.
