What does merging contracts do?
Merging contracts allows you to combine multiple contracts together while maintaining the documents and Data Library relationships (Key Personnel, Companies, Agencies). The following information will be impacted when you merge contracts:
Past Performance Descriptions - If there is not a past performance description on the contract that you’re keeping, GovDash will add the description from the contract being merged. Otherwise, the original description will be kept.
Agencies - Missing agency types (awarding or funding) will be added, but existing agencies will not be overwritten.
Award Recipient - If there is no set award recipient in the contract to be kept, the award recipient from the merged contract will be used.
Documents - All documents from all merged contracts will be kept, and the set primary contract and primary PWS/SOW will not be overwritten.

GovDash will prompt you to select the award you wish to keep post merge, and then provide you with a confirmation screen showcasing which award you have chosen to keep, and which awards will be merged in. Select Merge to finish.
If you attempt to edit a contract’s number/task order number and it matches a contract already present within your contract inventory, GovDash will ask if you’d like to merge the contracts together.
