XL EagleDD 1423 (DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List)
DD 1423 stands for DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List. DD Form 1423 is the form the Defense Department uses to write up each item on a Contract Data Requirements List. One form can describe several data items.
Key blocks include the data item number, the title, the data item description reference, the requiring office, the frequency, the date of first submission and the distribution list showing who gets copies and in what format.
Why it matters to a small contractor
Each DD 1423 is basically a mini work order for paperwork. Read the frequency and first submission blocks closely, because some items are due within days of award. If a block is unclear, ask during the questions period instead of guessing after award.
Example
A DD 1423 for a monthly progress report shows frequency MTHLY, first submission 30 days after contract award, and distribution to the COR and the contracting officer by email in PDF.
DD 1423: common questions

A Data Item Description defines the format and content of a data deliverable. The DD 1423 points to the DID that applies.
Is the DD 1423 the same as a CDRL?
The CDRL is the overall list of data deliverables, and the DD 1423 is the form used to record it.
