Which number a given contract carries depends on the deviation its awarding agency has adopted and the date of the solicitation or the modification: a contract carries the deviation number only where its agency adopted that deviation and it applies at that date. The finder shows all three numbers and names the source; it does not decide for you. Confirm which deviation your contracting officer's agency has adopted.
