reporting, most contractors are choosing 

to absorb the cost of reporting into 

overhead rather than separately 

identifying the direct cost. 

The contractor name, address, and 

point of contact with an email address 

are requested to facilitate reconciliation 

of the data and clarification of any 

ambiguous entries with the contractor. 

The Army has instituted several 

program enhancements that will enable 

DoD to further minimize the reporting 

burden for all parties. For instance, 

contract funding information can be prepopulated from defense accounting 

system data and edited, if necessary 

with a series of easy-to-use drop down 

menus of standard accounting data 

elements. In the previous data collection 

effort, contractors were expected to 

know Department funding source data. 

Another enhancement to the data 

collection effort is the drop down 

menus for the identification of the DoD 

organizational customer supported. In 

this regard, rather than have the 

contractor go into the system and 

presume whom they are proving 

support services to, the system is now 

designed with drop down menus that 

start from the top level. The DoD system 

will be pre-populated with information 

on the ‘‘organization supported’’ to 

minimize reporting confusion.
