FIELD ACTIVITIES SUBJECT: Implementation of the Department of Defense (DoD) Trading Partner Number (TPN TPN, in biochemistry, abbreviation for triphosphopyridine nucleotide, a coenzyme now usually called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADP. ) for Intra-governmental Transactions To facilitate accurate accounting of intra-governmental transactions across the government, the Office of Management and Budget The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), formerly the Bureau of the Budget, is an agency of the federal government that evaluates, formulates, and coordinates management procedures and program objectives within and among departments and agencies of the Executive Branch. (OMB OMB abbr. Office of Management and Budget Noun 1. OMB - the executive agency that advises the President on the federal budget Office of Management and Budget ) developed a process for better identifying these transactions as they occur. This process is in its early stages of implementation, and there is a DoD integrated process team (IPT IPT - IP Telephony ) working our transition strategy and plans. However, you need to be aware of one initial requirement that is beginning to take effect across the government. As noted in the OMB guidance and business rules provided at Attachment A, Federal Agencies that acquire goods or services from or provide goods or services to another Federal Agency must identify themselves with a unique trading partner number (TPN) on intragovernmental transactions. All TPNs are registered by Federal Agencies in the Federal Register (FedReg) module of the Business Partner Network (BPN BPN Business Partner Network BPN Banco Português de Negócios (Portuguese bank) BPN Banca Popolare Di Novara (Italian bank) BPN Biopartnering North America BPN Business Professional Network ) as a part of the electronic government (eGov) Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) initiative. Non-DoD agencies use Dun and Bradstreet's Data Universal Numbering System The Data Universal Numbering System, abbreviated as DUNS or D-U-N-S is a system developed and regulated by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) which assigns a unique numeric identifier to a single business entity. This numeric identifier is then referred to as a DUNS number. (DUNS) numbers as their identifiers. The OMB is allowing the Department to use DoD Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs) preceded by the alpha characters of "DOD" as TPNs. The DoDAAC file (known as the DoDAAF) serves as the basis for the DoD TPN file and is transmitted to the FedReg module daily. Because some Federal Agencies are already beginning full implementation of the OMB business rules for all intra-governmental transactions, the use of the TPNs as prescribed is effective immediately when processing transactions with non-DoD agencies. When a non-DoD Agency requests your TPN or DUNS number to process a transaction, you should provide the "DOD" plus DoDAAC identifier (e.g., "DOD" plus HQ0019 equals DODHQ0019). The construction of this 9-character DoD TPN meets the OMB requirement. Additionally, it is crucial that the records of your agency's/activity's DoDAACs are complete and kept current. It is critical that you review your DoDAACs as recorded in the DoDAAF and maintain the information accordingly. Mr. Jack Carter of the Defense Logistics Agency Noun 1.
