Redlining is the process of editing a contract when two or more parties are negotiating or working together. The goal is to produce a single document that satisfies all parties. The term redlining comes from the original, physical method of editing contracts, which involved printed papers and red pens.

Obligations, requests for payment must identify amounts by contract line items (CLINs) or subline items (SLINs), as specified in subparagraphs 010103 C., D., and E. below. For delivery payments, distributions of the requested amount to CLINs or SLINs should be based on actual deliveries or performance.
