Attachment 4 Contract Discrepancy Report.pdf

This is a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) template used in federal contracting to document and resolve performance or compliance issues between the government and contractors.

The CDR form serves as a formal communication tool for identifying and addressing contract discrepancies. The initiating party (Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer's Representative) completes the upper section by documenting the contract number, report number, discrepancy details with reference to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) directive, and three key dates: report preparation, contractor response deadline, and action completion. The contractor then responds in section 9 with a detailed explanation of the cause, corrective actions taken, and preventive measures to avoid recurrence. The government evaluates the contractor's response in section 11, indicating acceptance, partial acceptance, or rejection, and specifies government actions in section 12, which may include reduced payment, cure notices, show cause orders, or other remedies. The form concludes with a closeout section requiring signatures and dates from the contractor, Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and Contracting Officer (CO) to document completion and notification of all parties. This template is designed to provide a structured process for managing contractor performance issues while maintaining documented evidence of the discrepancy resolution process.
