  11. Order Number - DTCG2394FTACX01

  12. Contract Number - DTCG2391DTTMB12

  16. + C (Contract Action Type - Delivery Order)

  17. + DTCG2394FTACX01 (Order Number)

  18. + DTCG2391DTTMB12 (Contract Number)


  19. The resulting PIID would be 00023199510CDTCG2394FTACX01DTCG2391DTTMB12. If you wish, you may enter the entire PIID or a portion of the PIID with a trailing wildcard to find the document as well.
