While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year. If contract period of performance ends prior to September 30, the contractor has 30 calendar days from end date of the contract to complete the eCMRA requirement.

Contractors may direct questions to the help desk by clicking on the “Send an email” which is located under the Help Resources ribbon on the right side of the login page of the applicable Service/Component’s CMR website.
