5.6.1 Overview. In accordance with Section 8108 of the National Defense Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2011 the contractor shall report, annually, for performing services on

Department of Defense installations in support of this contract, all required prime contract and subcontract data, or require any subcontractors to report separately using the

Enterprise-wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (eCRMA) located at http://www.ecmra.mil. There are four separate eCMRA tools: Army, Air Force, Navy and All Other Defense Components. The appropriate eCMRA reporting tool to use is determined by the requiring activity being supported (e.g., if DISA awards a contract for an Air Force requiring activity, the contractor shall load the required reporting data in the

“Department of Air Force CMRA” tool). The contractor shall report ALL contractor direct labor hours and direct labor dollars (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract. The contractor is only responsible for entering the Order, Contact, and Location Data. The contractor may view user manuals and frequently asked questions (FAQs) at https://cmra.army.mil/Help/help.html.

5.6.2 Initial Contract/Order Creation. The contractor shall enter initial data (Order and Contact

Data only) into the appropriate eCMRA tool to establish the basic contract record no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of contract award. The contractor shall notify the COR and the CO when the basic contract record has been established in the appropriate eCMRA tool.

5.6.3 Annual Reporting. Reporting inputs will be for the direct labor executed during the period of performance (PoP) for each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs 1 October through 30 September. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than 31 October of each calendar year. The contractor shall provide reporting inputs for the final PoP of this contract no later than 30 calendar days after contract expiration. The contractor may direct technical questions about the eCMRA tool to the CMRA help desk at dodcmra@pentagon.af.mil.
