AgendaFlexFile 101

Implementation

• FlexFile and Quantity Report will replace DD 1921 Series as the default required cost reporting requirement for newly approved CSDR plans starting May 15th (per DD,CA memo)

• Some tailoring of the DID requirements may be proposed by the CWIPT (e.g. time-phasing for periods longer than a month)

• If there is context-specific rationale, e.g. the reporting contractor and effort being performed make it unlikely the additional insight provided will be utilized, then the CWIPT may propose to use the DD 1921 series.

Legacy Element

The core of the FlexFile is providing dollars and hours at the account level in contractornative categories, time phased.

Insight into contractor’s native Functional Categories

Account level reporting at or below the WBS

Data time-phased monthly or to align with contractor’s financial calendars

Continuity with prior reports by requiring the legacy government tags

Greatest value to cost estimator, in many cases, will be the additional insight requested in Group E

Legacy Element

The Quantity Report ties the necessary quantity information to the FlexFile:

Units to date should reflect an actual count of physically completed units

Allow sequencing quantities to be optional through Planning process for each End-Item as not all End Items may require sequencing (e.g., Kits)

Sequencing was allowed for lower level WBS elements in legacy 1921-2, but FlexFile does not sequence WBS elements (only End Items)

To Date and In Process to be defined by contractor in the Remarks section

One FlexFile provides the analyst more data points than a contract’s worth of 1921s

Default requirement for FlexFile is actual cost data time-phased discretely by month (e.g., a reporting period of 5 years would have 60 discrete monthly data points)

A 1921 only reports cumulative data for the given reporting period

To obtain the same number of data points, a contractor would have to submit 60 monthly 1921s

Monthly Time-Phased DataFlexFile Overview

“Account” Level Data

The 1921 provides no detail below the WBS or Standard Functional Category

Leads to ad-hoc data calls for insight into control account, work package, or similar data

The FlexFile asks for data at an “Account” Level which is meant to be at or below the lowest level of the WBS

“Account” can be control account, work package, charge code, or similar categories where actual costs are incurred and reflect the contractors native system

FlexFile provides the analysts insight into “Account” level detail and reduces need for ad-hoc reporting

Contractor Functional Categories

FlexFile Functional Categories intended to align with pricing categories for comparability with proposals, negotiations, and FPRA

1921-1s provide analysts a standard view of functional categories across programs, contracts, and business units

However, there may be inconsistencies and there exists no clear mapping from the contractor’s internal categories to the standards

FlexFile provides insight into the contractor’s pricing categories providing a clear mapping to the standard categories

Planning ConsiderationsFlexFile Overview

The following considerations should be included in addition to existing CSDR planning guidance

Define End Item and Order/Lot (see Figure 1)

FACs broken out by Nonrecurring/Recurring and the Standard Functional Category

Quantity Report requires that reporting elements are selected and that GFE are properly identified (see Figure 2)

Quantity Report also requires that sequencing be selected by Order/Lot and End Item

Submission and Validation

The FlexFile

Submission/Validation Considerations FlexFile Overview

Submission Considerations

• The starting point for submission allows industry to submit the reports in an Excel-Compatible file instead of the JSON Data Model.

• The data model is final and industry may choose to submit according to the JSON Data Model.

• If submitting in an Excel-Compatible format, DCARC will ensure that it maps to the data model for CADE ingestion. This may require some coordination between the DCARC and contractor. The DCARC will then submit the JSON Data Model for validation.

Validation Considerations

• DCARC will ensure compliance with

DID Approved CSDR plan Equivalent of Legacy 1921 validation rules

• External stakeholders may also consider any of the additional insight provided in the FlexFile format when conducting their reviews.

Flat FileFlexFile Demonstration

Contractor will have option to submit Excel-compatible file or in JSON Data Model. However, analysts will be able to view and download the data in different ways:

30

1921FlexFile Demonstration

Flat file allows for quick conversion in to the historically collected forms

31

1921-1FlexFile Demonstration

Flat file allows for quick conversion in to the historically collected forms

Note changes to legacy 1921-1 categories (for example, Program Management and Manufacturing Touch)

Having WBS as a filter allows analysts to view 1921-1 for individual

elements

32

Data Over TimeFlexFile Demonstration

FlexFiles provides data over time

› Standard for Actuals

33

Data Over Time and Multiple ScopesFlexFile Demonstration

FlexFiles provides data over time

› Standard for Actuals

FlexFiles allows for multiple Orders (e.g., LRIP 1, LRIP 2) as well as multiple End Items (e.g., Variant A, Variant B).

Note how LRIP 2 starts about a year after LRIP 1. Previous CCDRs required separate submissions to get this insight.

34

Drill Into Lower Level Cost AccountsFlexFile Demonstration

FlexFiles allows you to gain insight by drilling into cost accounts that make up the WBS element scope

1.4 Systems Test & Eval is a lowest level WBS element

Note that “Electrical and Systems Integration” as well

as “Fabrication Planning” were assigned to Systems

Test & Eval

35

Drill Into Contractor Functional CategoriesFlexFile Demonstration

Understand which contractor functional categories are binned to the standard

› Use this information to make cross-walk to proposal categories and relate to FPRs

› Better isolate functions affected by learning and/or rate


CADE Data & Analytics Redesign

Data and Analytics RedesignCADE Data & Analytics Overview

• A new design for the Data and Analytics home page was published on 05 Dec 2018• It is intended to better support two primary modes of accessing data

• Browse Data Across Programs: Aggregate data from multiple Tasks/Contracts/Programs• Think “analysis-ready flat files”

• Data by Program: Drill-down by Program, Contract, and Task• Think “standard reporting formats”

37

The Artist Formerly Known As Cross-Program Query has been appropriately

renamed

Multiple CSDRs – Flexible SearchCADE Data & Analytics Overview

• The Browse CSDR Submissions function provides a more flexible “DACIMS-like” search/browse• Simultaneously locate and download

multiple CSDRs• Works with any mix of Contractor Cost Data

Reports (CCDRs) and Software Resources Data Reports (SRDRs)

• Access to all contract-specific 1921-series forms• CDSR (1921), FCHR (1921-1), PCR (1921-2),

Sustainment FCHR (1921-5)• Includes FlexFiles!

• CCDRs are available as both “formatted” and flat file downloads
