1.0. USE/RELATIONSHIP:

1.1. 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.

1.1.1. Format 1 defines cost and schedule performance data by product-oriented Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

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

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

1.1.4. Format 4 defines staffing forecasts.

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

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

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

1.2. 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:

1.2.1. Integrate cost and schedule performance data with objective

DI-MGMT-81861

technical measures of performance.

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

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

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

1.4. 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.

1.5. 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.

Cost of Money (COM)

3.2.4.3.

. Enter in Columns (2) through (16) of Block 8.b the Facilities Capital COM allocated to the contract.

Identify in Format 5 whether the value(s) entered for COM are add or non-add to the WBS elements. Add would mean the costs are not included in Block 8.a. Non-add would mean that costs have been included in Block 8.a. The Government may specify in the CDRL if the WBSs shall exclude COM.

General and Administrative (G&A)

3.2.4.4.

. Enter in Columns (2) through (16) of Block 8.c the appropriate G&A costs. Identify in Format 5 whether the value(s) entered for G&A are add or non-add to the WBS elements. Add would mean the costs are not included in Block 8.a. Non-add would mean that costs have been included in Block 8.a.

The Government may specify in the CDRL if the WBSs shall exclude G&A.

Undistributed Budget (UB). Enter the amount of budget applicable to contract effort that has not yet been distributed to WBS elements at or below the reporting level. Budgets that have been distributed to WBS elements at or below the specified reporting level shall be included in the total budgets shown for the WBS elements in Block 8.a and shall not be shown as UB. UB characteristics:

• UB is used to accommodate temporary situations where time constraints prevent adequate budget planning or where contract effort can only be defined in very general terms.

• UB shall not be used as a substitute for adequate contract planning. Budgets shall be allocated within the PMB to responsible organizations at the earliest possible time, preferably within the next reporting period.

• UB can never be negative. If a contractual de-scope change occurs and the effort has not been removed from time-phased PMB, the amount shall be discussed in Format 5. Discuss when the de-scope will be removed from the PMB and placed into UB.

Enter in Column (15) of Block 8.d the EAC for the scope of work represented by the UB in Column (14) of Block 8.d. Enter in Column

Management Reserve (MR)

• MR shall not be used to offset cost variances.

. MR is an amount of the overall contract budget held for management control purposes and for unplanned events. MR characteristics:

• MR shall never be a negative value (Column (14) of Block 8.f).

• If MR includes the contractor and subcontractor amounts together, the breakout shall be discussed in Format 5.

Enter in Column (14) of Block 8.f, the total amount of budget identified as MR as of the end of the current reporting period. The value shown as MR in Formats 1, 2, and 3 shall agree. Amounts from MR applied to WBS elements during the reporting period shall be listed in Block 6.b of Format 3 and explained in Format 5.

Reconciliation to CBB

3.2.5.1.

Formal Reprogramming. In exceptional cases, the contractor may establish a PMB with budgets that exceed the CBB. This is called an OTB. Acceptance of the OTB values in excess of the CBB will be predicated on Government approval. This process is called formal reprogramming. The contractor and the Government shall agree on how the results of formal reprogramming shall be reported in the IPMR before it is initiated. Blocks 9.a and 9.b are used to reconcile the increased budget values to the CBB. Any pertinent details on the reporting of the formal reprogramming shall be included in Format 5.
