This memorandum advises Department offices represented by DoD Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs) in the current federal hierarchies in System for Award Management (SAM) and Federal Procurement Data System must be added to the Procurement, Finance, and Logistics (PFL) Hierarchy housed in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment.  This is required for DoDAACs to continue to be used after the General Services Administration’s planned implementation of the PFL Hierarchy to SAM in Q3 FY2022.  For more information, see the memorandum at the link below and visit the DPC, Contracting eBusiness (CeB), SAM guidance webpage, also provided below.

What is the process to change the department, sub-tier, and office changes to the Federal Hierarchy (FH)?

In order to change the department, sub-tier, and apply office changes to the Federal Hierarchy (FH) in SAM.gov, users need to contact DPC POC Jovanka.y.caton.civ@mail.mil, and inform their PIEE PFL representative of the change request. Once PIEE becomes the authoritative source for the DoD Hierarchy, all office hierarchy changes will have to be initiated in PIEE.
