[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 48, Volume 3] [Revised as of October 1, 2002] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 48CFR204.7104-2] [Page 33-36] TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM CHAPTER 2--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PART 204--ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS--Table of Contents Subpart 204.71--Uniform Contract Line Item Numbering System Sec. 204.7104-2 Numbering procedures. (a) Number subline items by adding either two numeric characters or two alpha characters to the basic contract line item number. (1) Information subline item numbers. Use numeric characters only for information subline items, running 01 through 99. Do not use spaces or special characters to separate the subline item number from the contract line item number that is its root. For example, if the contract line item number is 0001, the first three subline items would be 000101, 000102, and 000103. Do not use a designation more than once within a contract line item. (2) Separately identified subline items. Use alpha characters only for separately identified subline items, running AA through ZZ. Do not use spaces or special characters to separate the subline item number from the contract line item number that is its root. For example, if the contract line item number is 0001, the first three subline items would be 0001AA, 0001AB, and 0001AC. (i) Do not use the letters I or O as alpha characters. (ii) Use all 24 available alpha characters in the second position before selecting a different alpha character for [[Page 34]] the first position. For example, AA, AB, AC, through AZ before beginning BA, BB, and BC. (b) Within a given contract line item, the subline item numbers shall be sequential but need not be consecutive. (c) Exhibits may be used as an alternative to setting forth in the schedule a long list of contract subline items. If exhibits are used, create a contract subline item citing the exhibit's identifier. See 204.7105. (d) If a contract line item involves ancillary functions, like packaging and handling, transportation, payment of state or local taxes, or use of reusable containers, and these functions are normally performed by the contractor and the contractor is normally entitled to reimbursement for performing these functions, do not establish a separate subline item solely to account for these functions. However, do identify the functions in the contract schedule. If offeror separately prices these functions, then contracting officers may establish separate subline items for the functions; however, the separate subline items must conform to the requirements of 204.7104-1. (e) The following examples illustrate subline items numbering-- (1) Subline items structured to identify destinations for identical items, identically priced (delivery schedule shall be established for each subline item, not the contract line item). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item No. Supplies/service Quantity Unit Unit price Amount ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0001 NSN 1615-00-591-6620 Shim, ........... ........... ...........
