Claiming Socioeconomic Credit - DoD The following information is an excerpt from the FPDS-NG User’s Manual at Section 3.4 captioned "PURCHASER INFORMATION". In a nutshell, when an agency is reporting its own task orders, it must fill in the contracting office agency ID and contracting office ID, and when the record with its socioeconomic credit is completed it will be tied to the organization when the rest of the task order information is matched up as an order against the applicable VETS GWAC contract number (referenced IDV). For DoD Agencies, the task order takes on all of the characteristics of the parent GWAC (referenced IDV). When ordering for a customer agency, fill out the contracting office agency ID and contracting office ID, and also fill in the funding agency ID and funding office ID for the customer agency to transfer the socioeconomic credit to the customer:

If program/funding agency code is DOD and product/service code begins with 70, D3, H170, H270, H370, H970, J070, K070, L070, N070, U012, or W070, then reason for purchase must not be blank.

In addition to the above, Civilian Agencies would need to code actions against Set Aside GWACs as follows:
EXTENT COMPETED Should be coded either "Competitive Delivery Order" or "Noncompetitive Delivery Order". If Fair Opportunity to be considered was provided, select "Competitive Delivery Order". If an exception to Fair Opportunity to be considered was used, then select "Noncompetitive Delivery Order".
SOLICITATION PROCEDURES Will be "Negotiated Proposal/Quote" or "No Solicitation Procedures Used".
TYPE OF SET-ASIDE
Should be coded "No Set-Aside Used". Since the entire GWAC (referenced IDV) is set-aside, there is no requirement set aside the individual tasks.
EVALUATED PREFERENCE
Should be "No Preference Used".
