rhe National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology . . . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes,

to ensure product reliability . . . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific

discoveries."

NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's

competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One

of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of

measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering,

manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal

Government.

As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and

applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and

advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303.

Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below. For more information contact the

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)

develops standards and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for computers

and resources. As part of the overall federal effort to establish a single face to industry for conducting

electronic commerce, ITL has been designated as the organization responsible for coordinating the

development of Federal Implementation Conventions (ICs) for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). ICs are

defined by functional-area experts who create and select options from standard EDI Transaction Sets to

yield the implementations to be used for practical EDI. These ICs are made available to federal agencies

and industry by electronic means and this Special Publication Series.

196 Contractor Cost Data Reporting

Functional Group ID=

Introduction:

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Contractor Cost Data

Reporting Transaction Set (196) for use within an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment.This transaction

set can be used to support contractor cost reporting requirements for actual costs and estimates at completion

associated with major research and development (R&D) and production contracts or programs. This includes

nonrecurring and recurring costs by work breakdown structure elements summarizing all activities on a contract or proposal; non recurring and recurring functional cost or hour categories for selected work breakdown structure elements; progress curve (learning curve) information detailing unit or average lot data by functional cost or hour

categories; and summary contractor business base information such as indirect expenses, rates, and resources. This

information can be used to evaluate contractor proposals, make cost projections of a given program, develop

historical data bases to develop statistical techniques, and make independent cost analysis of new acquisitions. This

transaction set can be used to convey proposed, initial, progress, updated, or final (end of contract) cost information.

Notes:

1. The 196 Transaction Set is designed to support the Contractor Cost Data Reporting (CCDR) or 1921 series of

formatsfor the Department ofDefense (DoD). Thefourformats are the Cost Data Summary Report (DD Form

1921), the Functional Cost and Hour Report (DD Form 1921-1), the Progress Curve Report (DD Form 1921-2),

and the Plant Wide Data Report (DD Form 1921-3). For specific information about the reportformats and the

data that needs to be conveyed in these reports, obtain a copy ofthe CCDR handbook titled "Acquisition

Management, Contractor Cost Data Reporting (CCDR) System " (NA VMATP-5241, AMCP 715-8, AFLCP 800-

15, AFSCP 800-15)from the contracting officer or government publications office. This handbook is neededfor

specific instructions and data requirement references.

2. A single transaction set may contain one or more ofthe Contractor Cost Data Reportformats. Refer to the

implementation notes throughout this convention for more information about the specific requirementsfor each

reportformat.

3. This implementation convention is designed to be used when a Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) for a

given contract specifies the Contractor Cost Data Reportformats. The approved CCDR Plan defines the data

content and report requirements. This convention assumes the data will be moving in one direction only -from

the contractor or organization performing the work on a contract to the government customer.

4. There are two appendicesfor this implementation convention. The example appendix provides additional

reference information on how this transaction set is used to exchange data electronically for allfour CCDR

formats. The other appendix includes a series oftables that provides cross reference details on how to use the

196 transaction setfor each reportformat. This includes a Contractor Cost Data Report Segment and Data

Element Matrix table, an HL Levels and CLI Segment Map, and a Contractor Cost Data Report DD Forms 1921

Forms Cross Reference table.

1To identify dependencies among and the content of hierarchically related groups of data

segments

1 The HL segment defines a top-down/left-right ordered structure. 2 HL01 shall contain a unique alphanumeric number for each occurrence of the HL

segment in the transaction set. For example, HL01 could be used to indicate the

number of occurrences of the HL segment, in which case the value of HL01 would

be " 1 " for the initial HL segment and would be incremented by one in each

subsequent HL segment within the transaction.

3 HL02 identifies the hierarchical ID number of the HL segment to which the current HL segment is subordinate.

4 HL03 indicates the context of the series of segments following the current HL

segment up to the next occurrence of an HL segment in the transaction. For example,

HL03 is used to indicate that subsequent segments in the HL loop form a logical

grouping of data referring to shipment, order, or item-level information.

5 HL04 indicates whether or not there are subordinate (or child) HL segments related

to the current HL segment.

Notes: The HL segment is used in combination with the other segments in Table 2 to convey

the information in the DD 1921 forms. The HL codes identify; the various levels or

Technical Publications

Periodical

Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology—Reports NIST research

and development in those disciplines of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Institute is

active. These include physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement methodology and the basic technology

underlying standardization. Also included from time to time are survey articles on topics closely related to the Institute's technical and scientific programs. Issued six times a year.

Nonperiodicals

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on various subjects related to the

Institute's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) developed in cooperation with interested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies.

Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NIST, NIST annual reports, and

other special publications appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and bibliographies.

National Standard Reference Data Series—Provides quantitative data on the physical and chemical

properties of materials, compiled from the world's literature and critically evaluated. Developed under a worldwide program coordinated by NIST under the authority of the National Standard Data Act (Public

Law 90-396). NOTE: The Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (JPCRD) is published

bimonthly for NIST by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP).

Subscriptions, reprints, and supplements are available from ACS, 1155 Sixteenth St., NW, Washington, DC

20056.

Building Science Series—Disseminates technical information developed at the Institute on building

materials, components, systems, and whole structures. The series presents research results, test methods, and

performance criteria related to the structural and environmental functions and the durability and safety

characteristics of building elements and systems.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of

a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the

subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NIST under the sponsorship of

other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures published by the Department of Commerce

in Part 10, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized

requirements for products, and provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of

the characteristics of the products. NIST administers this program in support of the efforts of private-sector

standardizing organizations.

Order the following NIST publications—FIPS and NISTIRs—from the National Technical Information

Service, Springfield, VA 22161.

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUB)—Publications in this series

collectively constitute the Federal Information Processing Standards Register. The Register serves as the

official source of information in the Federal Government regarding standards issued by NIST pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended, Public Law 89-306 (79 Stat.

1 127), and as implemented by Executive Order 1 1717 (38 FR 12315, dated May 11, 1973) and Part 6 of

Title 15 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

NIST Interagency Reports (NISTIR)—A special series of interim or final reports on work performed by

NIST for outside sponsors (both government and nongovernment). In general, initial distribution is handled

by the sponsor; public distribution is by the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161,

in paper copy or microfiche form.
