Contractor data requirements list

An important part of the government system safety effort is to assure that system safety requirements are specified clearly and correctly in contract documents. The formats for system safety products or deliverables are generally prescribed by data item descriptions (DIDs). Other specific requirements concerning the exact documents to be produced and delivered are specified in the contractor requirements data list (CRDL). 

DIDs are documents describing the content and format for specific types of data required by contract in the CDRL. The contractor prepares the required data in a format specified in a DID. Preexisting DIDs are indexed in the Acquisition Management System Data List (AMSDL). The following preexisting DIDs are associated with system safety ... 

Ihe Zartman Committee identified a numW of criticality areas in which data were considered deficient by ARC contractors and commercial organizations. The needs that were emphasized and subsequent changes of status are summarized in the folfowlng table. - fo addition to the items listed, the Increased importance of LMFBR mixed-oxide fuel has led to new experimental data that may be sufQcient for small-scale processing but probably will not satisfy ultimate requirements. Criticality problems with h>u were afforded low priority by the Committee, and it seems that indirect experimental evidence can continue to suffice until large-scale an>ticattons develop. Ultimately, however, experimental checkpoints will be desired for n, "Cm. and certain other transuranium actinides. ... 

A contract is a legal agreement between two or more competent parties. In the systems acquisition process, a contract is typically between the government and a contractor, whereby the contractor develops and produces a product or system for the government. In addition to specified performance requirements, contract requirements include those requirements defined in the statement of work (SOW) specifications, standards, and related documents the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) management systems and contract terms and conditions.
