Enterprise Identifier - DODAAC of contracting officeFiscal Year in which award is madeProcurement Instrument Type CodeSerialized Identifier
Six alpha-numeric characters excluding I and OTwo numeric charactersOne alpha character excluding I and OFour alpha-numeric characters excluding I and O. 0000 is not an acceptable value.
B - DoD Order Number (Supplementary PIID)Four alpha-numeric characters excluding I and O. A and P are prohibited in the first position. 0000 is not an acceptable value. (NOTE: Four character supplementary PIID order numbers are only allowed to be issued through FY16. Subsequently, all orders must be in the format shown above in section A of this table. DoD activities are encouraged to transition as soon as possible in FY16 to this new method for numbering orders under DoD contracts and agreements. Transition must be completed no later than October 1, 2016.)
C - DoD Procurement Instrument Modification Identifier (Supplementary PIID)Six alpha-numeric characters beginning with A or P, excluding I and O. P00000 and A00000 are not acceptable values.
D - DoD Order Modification Identifier (Supplementary PIID)Two alpha-numeric characters excluding I and O. 00 is not an acceptable value. (NOTE: Two character supplementary PIID modification numbers are only allowed to be issued to DoD orders issued through FY16. Modification to DoD orders issued after the transition to the new method of numbering orders under DoD contracts and agreements must be in the form shown in section C of this table.
