Establish separate line items for deliverables that have the following characteristics except as provided at 4.1005-2:
(a) Separately identifiable.
- (1) A supply is separately identifiable if it has its own identification (e.g., national stock number (NSN), item description, manufacturer's part number).
- (2) Services are separately identifiable if they have no more than one statement of work or performance work statement.
- (3) If the procurement instrument involves a first article (see subpart 9.3), establish a separate line item for each item requiring a separate approval. If the first article consists of a lot composed of a mixture of items that will be approved as a single lot, a single line item may be used.
- (b) Single unit price or total price.
- (c) Single accounting classification citation. A single deliverable may be funded by multiple accounting classifications when the deliverable effort cannot be otherwise subdivided.
- (d) Separate delivery schedule, destination, period of performance, or place of performance.
- (e) Single contract pricing type (e.g., fixed-price or cost-reimbursement).
