(ii) Defense Logistics Agency’s Enterprise Business System (EBS).

(4) Positions 10 through 17. Positions 10 through 13 of a DoD-issued PIID shall not be a sequence of four zeroes (i.e., “0000”).

(b) Elements of a supplementary PIID.

(1) Position 1. Use a “U” in position 1 (e.g., “U00001”) in lieu of an “A” or “P”, as necessary, to process draft modifications through contract writing systems and associated applications. Change the “U” to an “A” or “P” prior to award to comply with FAR and DFARS standards.

(2) Positions 2 through 6. Examples of proper numbering for positions 2 through 6 are as follows:

Normal modification	Provisioned items order (reserved for exclusive use by the Air Force only)	Shipping Instructions
00001 — 99999		K0001	—	K9999		S0001	—	S9999
then		KA001	—	KZ999		SA001	—	SZ999
A0001 — A9999		L0001	—	L9999		T0001	—	T9999
B0001 — B9999		LA001	—	LZ999		TA001	—	TZ999
and so on to		M0001	—	M9999		U0001	—	U9999
H0001 — H9999		MA001	—	MZ999		UA001	—	UZ999

J0001 — J9999		NA001	—	NZ999		VA001	—	VZ999
then		P0001	—	P9999		W0001	—	W9999
R0001 — R9999		PA001	—	PZ999		WA001	—	WZ999

AA001 — HZ999		QA001	—	QZ999		XA001	—	XZ999
then
JA001 — JZ999						Y0001	—	Y9999
RA001 — RZ999						YA001	—	YZ999

(3) If the contract administration office is changing the contract administration or disbursement office for the first time and is using computer generated modifications to notify many offices, it uses the six position supplementary number ARZ999. If either office has to be changed again during the life of the contract, the supplementary number will be ARZ998, and on down as needed.
