The Contractor shall input the data into the appropriate eCMRA reporting tool, which can be accessed via a secure web site 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 contractor shall load the required reporting data in the “Department of Air Force CMRA” tool). While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year. The contractor shall completely fill in all required data fields. The contractor shall enter initial data into the appropriate eCMRA tool to establish the basic contract record no later than 15 working days after receipt of contract award or contract modification incorporating this clause. The contractor shall notify the Technical Representative when the basic contract record has been established in the appropriate eCMRA tool.

eCMRA User Manuals and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are available at http://www.ecmra.mil/
