EDI 196 Contractor Cost Data Reporting

Functional Group PK

X12F Finance Subcommittee

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 the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set can be used to support contractor reporting requirements for major acquisitions or contracts between the government and prime contractors and between prime contractors and subcontractors. This includes recurring and non-recurring costs reported by work breakdown structures and functional cost categories; progress or learning curve information detailing unit or average unit information by functional cost category; and summary contractor business base information such as indirect expenses, rates, and resources available. This is designed to support customer requirements to determine actual costs associated with research and development (R&D) and production contracts or programs. Use of this information includes evaluating contractor cost proposals, making cost projections of a given program, developing historical data bases to develop statistical techniques, and making independent cost analysis of new acquisitions. It encompasses the reporting detailed in the Contractor Cost Data Reporting (CCDR), the Department of Defense (DOD) Form 1921 series. This transaction set can be used to convey proposed, initial, progress, updated, or final (end of project) contract cost information.
