Contract Numbers in the Work Breakdown Structure
When you plan your work breakdown structure, you establish a contract number structure.
Numbering Format
A contract number, or the first level of your work breakdown structure, can be a total of 30 characters long, including two delimiters. The minimum length is three characters. You can also choose to have GovWin Capture Management supply leading zeros for all contract numbers, which would pad numbers to the firm-wide length you establish during implementation.
- 4583
- 0005104-00
- CH.0415.871
For example, the contract number, 12345.78, consists of five characters, followed by a period (.) delimiter in the sixth position, and ending with a two-character sub-number. This contract number is a total of 8 characters long.

Contract templates have a pre-defined work breakdown structure (WBS) and field values. You can modify them to meet the needs of individual contracts.
