Bring a contract into work (intake)
Find or resume an intake, choose approved sources or a governed upload, and track sources, documents and team independently (CT02).

/pdcc/acquisitions/contracts/CT-DEMO-012/intakeIntake turns an award into managed work. It never writes to the contract-writing system; imported records are read-only evidence deduplicated by agency, PIID, parent and source event identity.
Contract intake
1. Find a contract
Search by stable identifiers. If a workspace already exists you are offered *Existing workspace found* — resume instead of duplicating.
2. Intake overview
Connection availability, document matches and team confirmation are tracked independently.
3. Match documents
Link official and internal documents — see document matching.
4. Review extracted facts
Confirm, correct or mark unverifiable each fact with page evidence.
5. Resolve conflicts
Ask the official source owner — see source conflicts.
6. Assign the team
Contract specialist, CO and COR — see team assignment.
7. Readiness
All mandatory checks → managed work — see readiness.

The intake header shows record type, current performance period, intake owner and source refresh time.
Resume after a source change
If the source changed since your last review you see *One new source update since your last review* and a side-by-side of saved values vs the current source. New source data never replaces saved review decisions automatically — apply only the changes you accept.
