Contract Discrepancy Report.pdf

This is a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) template used by federal contracting officers to document and address contractor performance deficiencies. The CDR serves as a formal notification mechanism requiring the contractor to acknowledge receipt and, when specified, submit a written corrective action plan within a designated timeframe (typically specified in days following CDR receipt). The template includes fields for the contract number, identification of the Contractor Task Manager or on-site representative, the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) name, the date and time the discrepancy was observed, and a detailed description of the discrepancy or problem with any supporting attachments.

The CDR requires signature acknowledgment from both the COR and the contractor's representative, establishing a formal record of the notification. A written corrective action plan may or may not be required depending on the severity of the discrepancy. The COR has discretion to initiate a CDR whenever monthly recorded defects for a performance standard exceed allowable thresholds, when performance is deemed critical and unacceptable requiring formal corrective action, or when an unfavorable trend is detected in contractor performance. This document functions as a compliance and performance management tool within federal contracting to ensure contractors maintain contractual obligations and performance standards.
