Enterprise-wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (eCMRA) Reporting (JAN 2015) 52.237-9001 Enterprise-wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (eCMRA) Reporting.

Contractors are required to report all labor hours, regardless of contract type, via one of the four enterprise-wide Contractor Manpower Reporting Applications (eCMRA) 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 required contract data shall be loaded in the “Department of Air Force CMRA” tool). If a contract or order is funded by more than one requiring activity, the data for the order should be entered into the eCMRA tool associated with the requiring activity who provides the preponderance of the funding. Information from the eCMRA secure web site is considered to be proprietary in nature when the contract number and contractor identity are associated with the direct labor hours and direct labor dollars. At no time will any data be released to the public with the contractor name and contract number associated with the data. Contracting officers can provide contractors with the web site (http://www.ecmra.mil/) to access eCMRA user manuals and gain an understanding of the data fields that will be included in the reporting structure.

Contractors and subcontractors are required to input all direct labor data into the appropriate eCMRA tool no later than 31 October for the period of performance of the preceding fiscal year.

Technical questions regarding the eCMRA tools should be directed to the eCMRA help desk at dodcmra@pentagon.af.mil.
