This is a Discrepancy Report form used in federal contract administration to document and resolve performance issues between the government and contractor.

The form serves as a formal communication tool initiated by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to notify a contractor of non-conformances or problems with contract performance. Section 4 requires detailed description of the discrepancy, including specific references to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and provisions for attachments if needed. The COR documents the notification method (prepared, oral notification, or returned by contractor) and signs the report in Section 5. The contractor then responds in Section 8, providing a detailed explanation of the cause, effect, corrective actions, and preventive measures, with references to applicable quality control procedures. The contractor representative signs and dates this response in Sections 9 and 10. The government evaluates the contractor's response in Section 11, determining acceptance, partial acceptance, or rejection, with authority to issue cure notices or show cause orders per Section 12. The form concludes with a closeout section requiring signatures from both the Key Technical Representative (KTR) and COR, along with dates, to formally document resolution of the discrepancy. This document is essential for maintaining contract compliance and creating an audit trail of performance issues and their resolutions.
