Technical Data

Technical data is an enduring cost analysis need and the technical data initiative provides a mechanism to systematically capture technical data and other cost-driving metrics on DoD contracts This revolutionary improvement to the DoD data repository lays the foundation for system architecture trades, affordability analysis, root cause analyses, and life cycle cost estimating activities. Obtaining technical data as a contract deliverable in tandem with cost reporting avoids subsequent data calls to the contractor or program office.
