## Abstract

DoD has issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to prescribe the use of DoD activity address codes in the first six positions of solicitation and contract numbers. This change provides consistency in the method of identifying DoD activities and eliminates the need for maintenance of the list of DoD activity address numbers in DFARS appendix G.
