5.7.9 CONSOLIDATED CONTRACT (Data Dictionary Element 8P)
This data element is Not Applicable for an FSS and GWAC. It is required on all other IDVs and
populates to the Modification. Enter âYesâ if the contract action is awarded with an estimated total
value that exceeds the threshold stated in the FAR at time of contract award and the action is a
consolidation of contract requirements. Enter 'No' if the contract is not a consolidation of contract
requirements. Thresholds change over time. Please verify the threshold in place for the date signed
of the contract.
5.7.10 UNDEFINITIZED ACTION (Data Dictionary Element 6B)
This data element is Not Applicable for an FSS and GWAC. It is required on all other IDVs and
Modification. If the contract is a Letter Contract, then select Letter Contract. If the contract action is
an Undefinitized Action, then select Other Undefinitized Action. If the Contract action is neither a
Letter Contract nor an Undefinitized Action, then select Not Applicable.
5.7.11 MULTIYEAR CONTRACT (Data Dictionary Element 6C)
This data element is only Required on an IDC. It is Not Applicable for all other IDVs and
Modifications. This field indicates that this transaction is a multi-year contract. These are contracts
issued under specific Congressional multi-year authority for specific programs. The key
distinguishing difference between multiple year and multi-year contracts is that multi-year contracts
authorize performance beyond the period for which funding has been appropriated, without having
to exercise options for each program year. They normally include a cancellation ceiling, i.e., the
maximum amount the government will pay for termination if the remaining funding is not
appropriated. (FAR 17.103). Select No if the transaction is not a multi-year contract.
5.7.12 PERFORMANCE BASED SERVICE ACQUISITION (Data Dictionary Element 6F)
This data element is required on all IDVs and Modifications.
The PBSA process:
ï­ Describes the requirements in terms of results required rather than the methods of performance
of the work.
ï­ Uses measurable performance standards (e.g. terms of quality, timeliness, and quantity) and
quality assurance surveillance plans (see FAR 46.103(a) and 46.401(a)).
ï­ Specifies procedures for reductions of fee or for reductions to the price of a fixed-price contract
when services are not performed or do not meet contract requirements (see FAR 46.407).
ï­ Includes performance incentives where appropriate. For FPDS-NG reporting purposes, a
minimum of 50% of the anticipated obligations under the procurement action must meet the
above requirements. Select the correct value from the drop down box.
