scope:

Use/Relationship: DD Form 1921 is used to obtain essential cost data from contractors for the purpose of establishing a cost database. Prime contractors and integrating contractors for teaming arrangements with Contractor Cost Data Reporting (CCDR) requirements in their prime contracts are responsible for informing subcontractors and team contractors who meet the reporting thresholds about these requirements. All contractors must submit reports electronically to the Defense Cost and Resource Center (DCARC), who maintains a database of CCDR data. The CCDR database will be used to do the following: (1) prepare program cost estimates for major systems reviewed by the Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) and other Component review programs, (2) develop independent government contract estimates in support of cost and price analyses, and (3) develop estimates to support Analyses of Alternatives (AOAs), Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV), and long-range planning efforts.
