DI-FNCL-82162, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION (DID): COST AND HOUR REPORT (FLEX-FILE) (15-NOV-2017)., The Cost and Hour Report (FlexFile) is the Department of Defense (DoD) system for collecting actual costs and hours related business data as part of the Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR). The resulting data repository serves as the primary source for contract cost and software data for many DoD resource analysis efforts including cost database development, applied cost estimating, cost research, program reviews, Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and life cycle cost estimates. The FlexFile is structured around seven Data Groups that define the content required for the submission of FlexFile actual costs and related business data. This Document and DD FORM 2794 may not apply to non-DoD programs. Non-DoD program offices and agencies should reference separate documentation for detailed application instructions on how to apply and mark data groups for FlexFile data submissions.
