DoD 5000.04-M-1, COST AND SOFTWARE DATA REPORTING (CDSR) MANUAL (04-NOV-2011)

DoD 5000.04-M-1, COST AND SOFTWARE DATA REPORTING (CDSR) MANUAL (04-NOV-2011)., CSDR is the DoD system for collecting actual costs and software data and related business data. The resulting repository serves as the primary contract cost and software data (CSD) repository for most 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 repository may be accessed by authorized users (see Enclosure 4 of this Manual) only to obtain CSD to estimate total program acquisition and life cycle costs (includes work by contractors and the U.S. Government), total program contract costs (awarded and future) for a particular contractor (referred to as \"contractor program estimates\"), and individual contract costs.
