scope:

USE/RELATIONSHIP:

The IPMR contains data for measuring cost and schedule performance on Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition contracts. It is structured around seven formats that contain the content and relationships required for the electronic submissions.

Format 1 defines cost and schedule performance data by productoriented Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

Format 2 defines cost and schedule performance data by the contractor's organizational structure (e.g., Functional or Integrated Product Team (IPT)).

Format 3 defines changes to the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB).

Format 4 defines staffing forecasts.

Format 5 is a narrative report used to provide the required analysis of data contained in Formats 1-4 and 6.

Format 6 defines and contains the contractor's Integrated Master Schedule (IMS).

Format 7 defines the time-phased historical & forecast cost submission.

The IPMR's primary value to the Government is its utility in reflecting current contract status and projecting future contract performance. It will be used by the DoD component staff, including program managers, engineers, cost estimators, and financial management personnel, as a basis for communicating performance status with the contractor. DoD will also use the IPMR data for the following purposes:

Integrate cost and schedule performance data with objective technical measures of performance.

Identify the magnitude and impact of realized and potential performance problem areas that may cause significant cost and schedule variances.

Provide valid, timely, and accurate contract status information to Government leadership.

The IPMR data must be consistent with the contractor's actual contract status.

The IPMR is used to obtain cost and schedule performance information on contracts requiring compliance with the American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Alliance Standard 748 (ANSI/EIA-748), Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) (current version in effect at time of contract award; refer to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clause on the contract). The IPMR data elements must reflect the output of the contractor's ANSI/EIA-748 compliant system, where applicable.

Requiring more information in a Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) for the IPMR than is specified in this DID is contrary to DoD policy. All negotiated reporting provisions will be specified in the contract. Refer to the Performance Assessments and Root Cause Analyses (PARCA) EVM Web site (http://www.acq.osd.mil/evm/) for guidance on CDRL tailoring.

This DID supersedes DI-MGMT-81650 and DI-MGMT-81466A.
