COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS:

Each original agreement should be assigned a document number, comprised of an identification number followed by the agency number. Identification numbers should be assigned sequentially starting with 20. Do not include the fiscal year. Do not use the same identification number more than once so that there will be no duplication of active contract numbers. For example, the first personal service agreement for Office of the Comptroller should be assigned a document number of 201202, the next 211202.

Any revision to a personal service agreement must be submitted by the agency for all amendments to the original contract agreement. The amended form C0-802A should be assigned a document number, comprised of the original document number prefaced by a two-digit amendment number (begin with 01 and consecutively increment for each subsequent amendment to a personal service agreement). For example, the first amendment to personal service agreement 201202 would be 01201202; the second amendment to personal service agreement 201202 would be 02201202, etc. All signatures originally required must be secured.
