[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 32, Volume 1] [Revised as of July 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 32CFR21.315] [Page 64] TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE PART 21--DoD GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS--GENERAL MATTERS--Table of Contents Subpart C--Information Reporting on Grants, Cooperative Agreements, and Other Nonprocurement Instruments Sec. 21.315 Uniform grants and agreements numbering system. DoD Components shall assign identifying numbers to all nonprocurement instruments subject to this subpart, including grants and cooperative agreements. The numbering system parallels the procurement instrument identification (PII) numbering system specified in 48 CFR 204.70 (in the ``Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement''), as follows: (a) The first six alphanumeric characters of the assigned number shall be identical to those specified by 48 CFR 204.7003(a)(1) to identify the DoD Component and contracting activity. (b) The seventh and eighth positions shall be the last two digits of the fiscal year in which the number is assigned to the grant, cooperative agreement, or other nonprocurement instrument. (c) The 9th position shall be a number: ``1'' for grants; ``2'' for cooperative agreements; and ``3'' for other nonprocurement instruments. (d) The 10th through 13th positions shall be the serial number of the instrument. DoD Components and contracting activities need not follow any specific pattern in assigning these numbers and may create multiple series of letters and numbers to meet internal needs for distinguishing between various sets of awards.
