Part One – Federal Abbreviations- Part Two is
NSN- DoD
ACRN (Accounting Classification Reference
Number): Prefix used for
tracking expenditures against contract line items.
Administrative Contraction Officer (ACO): This is the person you’ll need to
know, under certain circumstances. If the contract is particularly large, an ACO
may be assigned to administer the contract and ensure that the contractor is
keeping its end of the bargain, following the contract’s specified terms,
including price, schedule, and quality.
Award:
Otherwise know as “good news,” an award is the release of a fully
executed contract to an offeror. The
good news typically comes form the contracting officer, who drops the contract
in the mail or calls some other courier, drops by and hands it to you, picks up
the phone, or uses some other means of communication acceptance of the offer by
the purchaser.
B&P (bid and proposal): The costs incurred in preparing
bids and proposals on potential government contracts.
Backlog: The remaining amount of a
contract’s current funding or total potential value.
BAFO (best and final offer): Upon completion of discussions
during a negotiated procurement, contractors may submit a revised proposal
addressing issues raised.
Best value:
The purchaser wants the best value
when acquiring goods and services. Notice that we did not say “best price.” Yes,
price must always be one of the criteria evaluated, but the purchaser may
consider other factors as well, such as environmental considerations, quality,
and vendor performance, to name a few.
Bid:
An offer to furnish goods, services, or construction that meets all
the specifications, delivery terms and conditions, and other requirements that
were spelled out in the invitation for bids. This can also refer to an offer to
purchase.
Bidder’s list: Once upon a time this might have
been someone’s Rolodex. It’s a current file of vendors and suppliers covering
various categories of goods, services, or construction needs.
Billing rate: An indirect cost rate established
temporarily for interim reimbursement of incurred indirect costs and adjusted as
necessary pending settlement of a final indirect cost rate. Also known as target
rate. (FAR 42.701)

contractors and governmental jurisdictions that plan to enter into contracts or
receive grants from the federal government (www.ccr.gov).
CLIN (contract line item number): A specific unit of work to be
performed by the contractor.
Competition: It’s the process the purchaser
uses to get offers from more than one valid supply source for goods, services,
or construction. Those offers are compared and evaluated to select the one or
more source that best meets the needs of the purchaser.
Contract:
Don’t do business without one of these documented agreements or
orders, covering the procurement or disposal of goods, services, construction,
or anything else. The contract is binding on both the contractor and the
purchaser. There are lots of different kinds of contracts, though not all of
them are allowed in every case – they include fixed-price, cost,
cost-plus-a-fixed-fee, cost reimbursement or incentive (look further in this
appendix for more details on these). Contracts may provide for the issuance of
job orders, task orders, or task letters, and contracts also include letter
contracts, grants, purchase orders, and contract modifications. All contracts
must be in writing unless regulations authorize otherwise, and there are
mandatory clauses that all contracts must include.
Contracting Officer Technical
Representative (COTR): The COTR
is another person the CO may choose in order to delegate some of the oversight
and management of the project. The COTR is the technical liaison between the
contractor and the contracting officer.
Contraction Officer (CO): The CO is the person who has the
authority to enter into, administer, and/or terminate a contract, and the CO can
make any related determinations and findings. The CO ensures that the contractor
is meeting the terms of the contrat, including price, schedule, and quality.
Contraction Officer Representative: Sometimes called a COR, this is
someone the CO may choose to oversee and manage the project. The COR is the
administrative liaison between the contractor and the contraction officer.

organization doing business with the purchaser, doing construction, providing
services, or selling goods or services pursuant to a contract.
CPAF (Cost-Plus-Award-Fee): Reimburses the contractor for
allowable costs and adds a fee consisting of a base fee (which may be zero) and
an award fee, determined at periodic milestones set forth in the contract.
CPFF (Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee): Reimburses the contractor for
costs and adds a negotiated fee.
CPIF (Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee): Reimburses the contractor for
costs and adds a negotiated fee, which is adjusted by a formula based on target
costs, providing an incentive to keep costs low.
DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency): Responsible for auditing
Department of Defense contracts and can be brought in by other agencies to
assist with audits.
DCMA (Defense Contract Management
Agency): Responsible for
ensuring that contractors deliver goods and services to the Department of
Defense on time, at cost, and in a sufficient manner.

price under which a contractor bears the full responsibility for profit or loss.
FPI (Fixed-Price Incentive): A fixed-price contract that
provides for adjusting profit and establishing the final contract price by
application of a formula based on the total target cost.

prichases it will make with specified vendors, by leaves open the dates the
purchases will be made and the exact quantity of each item that will be bought.
Multiple award: This refers to the award of separate
contracts to two or more offerors for the same commodities or services. It’s
used in situations where the award of a single contract would be impractical or
would not meet the total purchaser requirements.
NAICS (North American Industry
Classification System): You may
recall the old days of SIC codes; that was short for Standard Industrial
Classification. It’s a means of classifying business by the type of activity to
make it easier to collect, tabulate, analyze, and present data. NAICS codes are
used by various agencies of the United States government, state agencies, trade
associations, and private research organizations, and they promote uniformity
and comparability when presenting statistical data.
No bid:
This is a response to a solicitation for bids, and it means that the
respondent doesn’t with to submit an offer. If you’re a contractor, it’s
important that you don’t totally ignore a solicitation for bids, because even if
this one holds no interest, the next one might. The no bid usually operates as a
procedure consideration to prevent suspension from the list, which could happen
if you fail to submit a response.
OFPP (Office of Federal Procurement
Policy): Part of the Office of
Management and Budget, it tracks the various procurement regulations for every
federal government agency.

PO (Program Office): The office within the awarding
agency with primary interest in, and responsibility for, the contract.
Prime contract: A contract awarded directly by
the government.
Proposal: If it’s in response to an
RFP, it’s an offer binding on the offeror, or it may be a nonbinding response to
an REOI. See below for more on those two acronyms.
Protest:
If an offeror feels there’s some sort of irregularity or impropriety
with a solicitation process, or that something is awry regarding solicitation
responses received and the administrative action taken on those responses, the
offeror may file a protest. The complaint must be made in a timely manner and
must be filed in writing with the Director.
Request For Expressions Of Interest
(REOI): The REOI is a
solicitation to prospective offerors, and is used to develop a shortlist of
prospective offerors who will then be eligible to receive a subsequent
solicitation, such as an RFP or an Invitation for Bid. An REOI is generally made
in cases where specifications can’t yet be prepared or there’s some uncertainty
regarding the availability of vendors for the goods, services, or construction.
Responses are analyzed in accordance with selection criteria set forth in the
solicitation.
Request for Proposal (RFP): The RFP is used in negotiated
procurements to solicit proposals for products and services and to communicate
requirements to prospective contractors. The proposals that result from the RFP
are evaluated according to various selection criteria, including price but often
many other factors, too.
RFP (Request for Proposal): RFPs are generally issued when
the government wants a detailed technical proposal. With RFPs, contracts are
negotiated (as opposed to low bid wins).
RFQ (Request for Quote): RFQs are sometimes used for fact
finding when government is merely checking into the possibility of acquiring a
product of service. They are not binding on either party.
SBA (Small Business Administration): As the government’s small
business advocate, the SBA oversees various federal procurement initiatives and

about contraction.
SDB (Small Disadvantaged Business): The catch-all term used in
federal procurement for minority-owned businesses.
SF (Standard Form): Used in front of government
contract template and followed by a number; for example SF 1034.
Solicitation: A solicitation is any request to
submit offers of quotations to the government for the purpose of acquitting
products and services. One the government agency has acquisition authority, the
agency prepares a solicitation that fully describes and specifies what it wants
to purchase, along with the terms and conditions of the purchase, the delivery
schedules, and the support needed for the product or service. It is generally
during this preparation time that the government determines if this will be a
sole source or an open competition acquisition.
Sole source: This kind of procurement is used
when the purchaser’s required goods, services, or construction are available
form only one person or firm, which may be an entity having the exclusive right
to manufacture, sell, or otherwise market certain goods or services.
SOW (Statement of Work): Captures the activities and
deliverables to be performed by the contractor.
Subcontract: An agreement between a prime
contractor and another organization to provide goods or services, either
directly for a federal contract or for another subcontract.
T&M (Time and Material): Time and Materials payments are
based on hourly rates and costs of materials used.
