Page - 3
Master Agreements–are now called Contracts
Master Agreement Requests—are now Contract Requests

Evergreen Contracts—Perpetual contracts that do not close on a specific date
Terminology Changes

Master Agreement Request is now called Contract Request.
Create Contract

The Contract ID can now be part of the Master Agreement Number by selecting “Yes”. This will benefit agencies by providing additional specific naming conventions that are easily identifiable.

It is a best practice to always enter a descriptive title when creating a Contract Request.
Users must either enter an expiration date or select Evergreen for no expiration date.
Expiration Date
Page - 7
Evergreen (or perpetual) contracts are always open and need no closing date. Use this feature if you do not want a contract to close on a specific date.
You can still specify an expiration date on an Evergreen contract, but this date would be used to send an email message as a reminder to review the contract.
In most cases, State Term and Agency Term contracts do have expiration dates so the Evergreen button would be set at the default of “No.”

Pricing terms can be defined at varying levels if the price changes by a factor such as the amount ordered.
Commodity Level Pricing
Page - 9
Amount or quantity based volume pricing is valid for catalog and non-catalog items and is valid for Item Level MAs only. It can be cumulative, or it can apply to individual orders only. For commodities and suppliers, it is always cumulative.

Access Control
Restricting access has new choices.
As a default, release access is not restricted.

Restricting Access
You can restrict access by Name, Role, Group, Supervisor and Entity.
Restricting access by Group will allow anyone within MFMP who is assigned to that group access to edit your contract. A best practice is to restrict by name or PUI Role.

Attachments are now called Appendices.
Click “Add” appendix to add terms, conditions, and other documentation to a contract request (CR). Keep in mind that attachments should not exceed 4 MB.
