ALL questions pertaining to system registration, data entry problems, and other information technology-related issues or concerns must be directed to the CMR Helpdesk.

E. Annual reporting is required. The data for each Government fiscal year (October 1st through

September 30th) must be entered no later than October 31st. If the contract action to which the CMR requirement applies overlaps two or more Government fiscal years, the contractor must prorate the labor hours and labor dollars accordingly.

Contractor Contact Information; Federal Service Code; Direct Labor Hours; Direct Labor Dollars; Location Information; Amount Invoiced for FY; and Prime/Subcontractor status.

I. A Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) will be included in the contract or order for each contract action to which the CMR requirement applies. The contractor may elect to price or not-separately-price the CMR requirement.
