*Needs and Uses:*10 U.S.C. 2330a, as amended by section 812 of National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, requires DoD to establish a data collection system to provide certain management information with regard to each purchase of services by a Military Department or Agency that is in excess of $3 million for services in the following service acquisition portfolio groups: Logistics management services, equipment-related services, knowledge-based services, and electronics and communications services. New DFARS clause 252.204-70XX, Reporting Requirements for Contracted Services, requires a contractor to report annually, in the System for Award Management, on the services performed under the contract or order, during the preceding Government fiscal year. Specifically, the contractor is required to report the total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during the preceding fiscal year and the number of direct labor hours, including subcontractor hours (when applicable), expended on services performed during the previous Government fiscal year.                

The information collection will provide DoD with the ability to identify and report annually to Congress, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2330a, on the inventory of contractor service contract actions. As an adjunct, the information will support DoD's total force management and in making strategic workforce planning and budget decisions pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 129a.
