PART 21_DoD GRANTS AND AGREEMENTS_GENERAL MATTERS--Table of Contents

 

 Subpart E_Information Reporting on Awards Subject to 31 U.S.C. Chapter 

                                   61

 

Sec.  21.560  Must DoD Components assign numbers uniformly to awards?



    Yes, DoD Components must assign identifying numbers to all awards 

subject to this subpart, including grants, cooperative agreements, and 

technology investment agreements. The uniform 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 

must 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 must 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 must be a number:

    (1) ``1'' for grants.

    (2) ``2'' for cooperative agreements, including technology 

investment agreements that are cooperative agreements (see Appendix B to 

32 CFR part 37).

    (3) ``3'' for other nonprocurement instruments, including technology 

investment agreements that are not cooperative agreements.

    (d) The 10th through 13th positions must 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.
