Undefinitized Contract Action and Unpriced Change Order
Reporting Spreadsheet FAQs
This aid is designed to help answer common questions related to the reporting of undefinitized
contract action (UCA) and unpriced change order (UCO) data and the use of the reporting
spreadsheet.
1. What do I need to report?
2. How do I complete the Consolidated UCA Management Report spreadsheet?
3. When do I need to report UCAs and UCOs?
4. What UCAs/UCOs need to be reported?
5. When does a UCA/UCO no longer need to be reported?
6. Do I need to report UCAs/UCOs over $5 million which are (1) not behind schedule or (2)
which are not subject to the requirements of DFARS 217.74 because of an exception?
7. Why is OSD requiring this information?
8. My question is not answered here. Who should I contact?
1. What do I need to report? You need to submit a Consolidated UCA management report
(a list of UCAs and UCOs with an estimated value exceeding $5 million).
2. How do I complete the Consolidated UCA management report spreadsheet? Each
column header in the spreadsheet contains detailed comments. If you roll your cursor over
the red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of the column, the instruction will appear.
Additional information is provided below. The column instructions are included below, by
column letter, for reference:
A. Contract #: Enter Contract Number. This should be filled in for every entry.
1. Do not include Delivery Order (DO) or Task Order (TO) numbers in this field.
2. Contract numbers shall use the format: NXXXXX-18-C-0001.
3. Only report actions at the contract and/or order level unless the UCA/UCO was
initially entered into at the CLIN level. Specifically, report at the level
(contract/TO/DO, or CLIN) at which the UCA/UCO was initially issued. If a
single UCA/UCO established multiple undefinitized CLINs, only enter the date
of definitization once all of those CLINs are definitized.
B. TO / DO / Call #: Enter TO / DO/ Call # when applicable.
1. If Column A contains a contract / agreement number with an A, D or G, Column
B must contain appropriate data. If you are not reporting a UCA/UCO on a
Task Order, Delivery Order, or Call please insert “N/A” in that cell.
2. Column B cannot contain more than one task/delivery order or call in each row.
Each UCA/UCO stands on its own and cannot be combined with another.
C. Program/Requirement Description: Enter a brief description of the
program/requirement or title of the contract.

1. Must contain a program or requirement description.

D. Date the Action was Awarded: Enter the date the action was awarded in DD-
MMM-YYYY format. Example: 19-Aug-2020. This must be filled in for every
entry.
1. Must use the prescribed format, as this is a calculated cell.
E. Is the Action an Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) or an Unpriced Change
Order (UCO): Select from the drop down list (within the cell). Reference DFARS

time periods permitted by the DFARS. Use these time periods as a guideline even if
the UCA/UCO is not subject to the timelines due to an exception. Use DD-MMM-
YYYY format. Date format example: 19-Aug-2020.
1. If reported previously, maintain the same information through this and all
future reporting periods as this is for the original due date, not a modified
one.

received a qualifying proposal from the contractor in DD-MMM-YYYY format.
Date format example: 19-Aug-2020. Do not enter dates for partial qualifying
proposals or for projected receipt of qualifying proposals – use the “comments

extended beyond an additional 90 days without a written determination by the head
of the contracting activity without power of redelegation, the commander of the

the calculated due date of the UCA/UCO. This field will select either the original
due date, if no qualifying proposal was received, or the extended due date, if a
