About this file
This is a Data Specification Document for monthly Order Data and Usage Data reporting requirements under the DLA Troop Support Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) Tailored Logistics Support (TLS) Prime Vendor Program, Version 6.0, effective April 2026.
TLS Vendors are required to submit two types of monthly pipe-delimited text files via email: Order Data files containing orders placed during the reporting month (due by the 5th of the following month) and Usage Data files containing orders shipped during the reporting month (also due by the 5th of the following month). Order Data reflects line-item details at the time of order placement, including item requirements, pricing, delivery dates, and customer information for KOP and Storefront business models only; BidWiser orders are exempt. Usage Data reflects orders at shipment and includes actual shipment, receipt, and cancellation information. File naming conventions follow a standardized format: ORDER.yyyymmdd.Ann.VEN.TXT, where the sequence number (nn) increments with resubmissions and only the highest version is loaded. Both file types use identical naming conventions but contain different data elements. Order Data includes 26 required and optional fields such as Vendor Line Identifier (VLID), contract number, delivery order number (PIID), requisition number, order date, pricing information (unburdened and burdened unit and extended prices), manufacturer details, quantity ordered, unit sold codes, and optional fields for special project codes and green product designation. Usage Data includes 38 fields with additional elements for shipment tracking: received date, cancellation date and type, sub-contractor socioeconomic indicators, acquisition versus burdened pricing, quality code, and vendor-specific fields. All data must comply with strict formatting requirements prohibiting double quotes and pipes within fields, with specific fixed-length and variable-length field specifications defined for each element.

DATA SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT
Version 6.0, April 2026
Monthly Order Data and Usage Data Reporting Requirements
PURPOSE: During the term of this contract, DLA Troop Support has defined a monthly requirement of Order Data and Usage Data Reporting. All data provided by the Tailored Logistics Support (TLS) Vendor will be used and viewed by C&E Management and DLA Troop Support personnel only. To increase the utility of this collected information, streamline the data collection process and minimize data manipulation efforts, DLA Troop Support has established specific data reporting requirements. These specifications include submission time frames, vehicle or medium of submission and the data elements structure that will make up the submitted data set.
NOTE: THE ATTACHMENTS ARE NOT THE FINAL VERSION OF THE PROCESS. THEY ARE
MEANT TO BE AN EXAMPLE.
FILE TYPES AND DATA SPECIFICATIONS
TLS Vendors are required to submit monthly reports for Order Data and Usage Data, where each file type has a different layout and contains different information.
Order Data contains orders placed in the reporting month, reflects the state of the order at the time the customer placed it.
Usage Data contains orders shipped in the reporting month, and reflects the order at the time the TLS Vendor performs.
ORDER DATA REPORT FILE SPECIFICATIONS
Order Data reflects the TLS Vendor's line-item detail that captures order data at the time that the order is placed by DLA with the contractor. This information contains the item requirements, pricing, required delivery date, and customer information. Data captured in this file contains order line transactions prior to shipment.
Submission Time Frame: Order data provided should reflect orders captured by the TLS Vendor and must be submitted by the 5th of the following month that the order was accepted by the TLS Vendor. For example, an Order Data Report for line-item level data for the orders placed by by DLA with the contractor during the month of January would be due to DLA Troop Support by no later than February 5, and should include all delivery orders issued during the month of January. Should the due date pass without data being received by DLA Troop Support, a member of the DLA Troop Support-C&E IT Staff will contact the contractor to coordinate immediate submission.
Medium/Vehicle of Transfer: Files shall be provided to DLA Troop Support as a pipe (|) delimited text attachment file via Email and sent to a generic email address that will be provided to the Vendor IT POC. The Usage data will be verified for format and sent to the DLA Troop Support for performance analysis.
File Naming Convention: To facilitate the automated processing and identification of submitted data files, each file type has a specific file naming convention. Adhering to such conventions will provide for easy storage and organization during the automated loading and archival processes, and identification and retrieval of source data files.
Order Data – File Naming Convention
Format of filenames: ORDER.yyyymmdd.Ann.VEN.TXT
ORDER Fixed text identifying the file as an Order Data file.
yyyy Year of submission.
mm Month of file submission.
dd Last day of the month of the file submission.
A Fixed character ‘A’.
nn Two digit, zero filled sequence number, indicates the version of the file. Each time the
TLS Vendor resubmits a file in a particular month, this value is incremented by 1.
Resubmissions are to be all inclusive of the month, not a subset of lines. The file with the highest sequence number is loaded, all others are discarded.
VEN The TLS Vendor's three-character abbreviation assigned for the MRO Program.
TXT Fixed value of the file's extension, which identifies it as a text file.
Example: ORDER.20191031.A01.ABC.TXT where the TLS Vendor, ABC Company, has the assigned abbreviation of ABC. If you are unsure of your abbreviation, contact your contracting officer.

DATA ELEMENT DETAILS
Double Quotes [" "] and Pipes [ | ] are not acceptable within the context of any field. Also, fields cannot be framed with double quotes [" "].
Data File Record Type Indicator [Required]
• Defines data as line-item level data used in the C&E Management Information System and is denoted by U, which identifies the contents as unfilled, new order lines.
• NOTE: Order Data files only need to contain order lines from the KOP and Storefront business models. BidWiser orders are exempt from reporting in this data file as DLA already has that information.
Vendor Line Identifier (VLID) [Required]
• This value is a guaranteed unique line identifier that is used to reconcile an order line against various systems and repositories throughout DLA.
• For the BidWiser business model, these values are generated and provided to the TLS Vendor in the
Award Notification Spreadsheet as the ‘Contractor Control Number’.
• For KOP and Storefront business models this value is to be generated by the TLS Vendor.
• TLS Vendor generated values should adhere to the following format specification:
vv - TLS Vendor's 2 digit, zero filled, DLA assigned ID p - Program ID, 1 digit, fixed value of 5 for MRO y - Fiscal Year expressed in 1 digit jjj - Julian day of year the value was accepted by the TLS Vendor nnn - zero filled, Base32 serial number using only the below values:
{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z}
Example: If TLS Vendor ID is 99 and an order is accepted on August 17, 2019, and the order contains five lines, then the following values would be appropriate:
9959229000 9959229001 9959229002 9959229003 9959229004
