  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  Various contract number sequences cannot be properly added under the correct contract type within the "Master
  

  Data/Contract" menu. The only way to input certain contract types (i.e. OTA) is to use erroneous types (i.e.

  Non-DoD Non-FAR) because the character sequence of the contract does not match the DPAS default.

   

  Recommended:

  We request that the fields be changed to accommodate the input of alphanumeric characters ranging from 10 -
  

  13 different positions in all of the different contract types. We also request that all contract types be checked to

  determine whether or not they correlate with the standard uniform contract format number.

   

  Mission Critical:

  Per DFARS 204.7003, the contract alphanumeric sequence ties directly into the contract type. We cannot provide accurate information on our part without an update in this field which causes an error.

   

  Benefits:

  The benefit is an improved accuracy of GFP/GFE data within DPAS. In addition to this, the accuracy may
  resolve any information transmission glitches between DPAS and the GFP Module of WAWF/PIEE.

   

  Frequency: Daily
