CLIN

A Contract Line Item Number is a unique identifier for each separately priced item or service in a contract. CLINs organize contract pricing structures and enable tracking of obligations, deliveries, and payments at the line item level.

Proper CLIN structuring affects invoicing, reporting, and contract administration. Contractors must invoice by CLIN and track costs accordingly. Government contract writing systems use CLINs for financial management and reporting. Understanding CLIN structures helps contractors price proposals accurately and manage contract performance efficiently.
