DI-MGMT-81334D, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: CONTRACT WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (18 MAY 2011)

DI-MGMT-81334D, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: CONTRACT WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (18 MAY 2011)., This documents the Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS) and its extension by the contractor using terminology and definitions, as applicable, in MIL-HDBK-881, current edition. This DID summarizes the format for the CWBS and provides preparation instructions to support the data and frequency requirements specified in the contract. This DID applies to all contracts that require a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). It is related to the three Contractor Cost Data Reporting (CCDR) formats: DD Form 1921, "Cost Data Summary Report" (DI-FNCL-81565, current edition); DD Form 1921-1, "Functional Cost-Hour Report" (DI-FNCL-81566, current edition); and DD Form 1921-2, "Progress Curve Report" (DI-FNCL-81567, current version). This DID is also related to the "Contract Performance Report" (DI-MGMT-81466, current edition) and DD Form 1586, "Contract Funds Status Report" (DI-MGMT-81468, current edition). MIL-HDBK-881, current edition, serves as the basis for developing the prime contract CWBS. Routine reporting shall be at CWBS level 3 for prime contractors. Extensions of the CWBS can be tailored to the specific program but will be consistent with MIL-HDBK-881, current edition. More detailed reporting of the CWBS shall be required only for those lower-level elements that address high-risk, high-value, or high-technical-interest areas of a program. Identifying these additional elements is a critical early assignment for the Cost Working Integrated Product Team (CWIPT) for inclusion in the CWBS. For those contracts with Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR) requirements, the CWBS must agree with the contract CSDR Plan approved by the OSD Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG) Chair. The reporting contractor shall prepare and submit the contract CWBS within 60 days of the contractually required post award CSDR conference or, in the absence of a conference, within 60 days of contract award or contract modification. The reporting contractor shall maintain and update the Dictionary throughout the life of the contract. For contracts with CSDR requirements, the CWBS Dictionary shall not be submitted more frequently than CSDR submissions.
