Each DoD Component shall create and manage their CAMIS data base. The CAMIS data base shall have a comprehensive edit check on all input data in the computerized system. All data errors in the CAMIS data base shall be corrected as they are found by the established edit check program. The data elements described in this appendix represents the DoD minimum requirements.

On approval of a full cost comparison, a simplified cost comparison, or a direct conversion CA, the DoD Component shall create the initial entry using the data elements in part I for full cost comparisons and data elements in part II for all other conversions. Within 30 days of the end of each quarter the DoD Component shall submit a floppy diskette. Data files must be in American Standard Code Information Interchange text file format on a MicroSoft-Disk Operating System formatted 3.5 inch floppy diskette. Provide submissions in the Defense Utility Energy Reporting System format. The data shall be submitted in the Director, Installations Management (D,IM), 400 Army Navy Drive, Room 206, Arlington, VA 22202-2884 at least 60 days prior to the end of the quarter. The D,IM shall use the automated data to update the CAMIS. If the DoD Component is unable to provide data in an automated format, the D,IM shall provide quarterly printouts of cost comparison records (CCR) and conversion and/or comparison records (DCSCCR) that may be annotated and returned within 30 days of the end of each quarter to the D,IM. The D,IM then shall use the annotated printouts to update the CAMIS.

Part I—Cost Comparison

The record for each cost comparison is divided into six sections. Each of these sections contains information provided by the DoD Components. The first five sections are arranged in a sequence of milestone events occurring during a cost comparison. Each section is completed immediately following the completion of the milestone event. These events are as follows:

1. Cost comparison is approved by DoD Component.

2. Solicitation is issued.

3. In-house and contractor costs are compared.

4. Contract is awarded/solicitation is canceled.

5. Contract starts.

The events are used as milestones because upon their completion some elements of significant information concerning the cost comparison become known.

A sixth section is utilized for CCRs that result in award of a contract. This section contains data elements on contract cost and information on subsequent contract actions during the second and third year of contract operation.

The data elements that comprise these six sections are defined in this enclosure.

Part II—Direct Conversions and Simplified Cost Comparisons

The record for each direct conversion and simplified cost comparison is divided into six sections. Each of the first five sections is completed immediately following the completion of the following events:

1. DoD Component approves CA action.

2. The solicitation is issued.

3. In-house and contractor costs are compared.

4. Contract is awarded or solicitation is canceled.

5. Contract starts.

A sixth section is utilized for tracking historical data after the direct conversion or simplified cost comparison is completed. This section contains data elements on contracts and cost information during the second and third performance period. The data elements that comprise the six sections in part II, of this Appendix, are defined in the CAMIS Entry and Update Instruction, Part II—Direct Conversions and Simplified Cost Comparisons.

This number in all cases shall be those personnel figures identified in the correspondence announcing the start of a cost comparison and will include authorized positions, temporaries, and borrowed labor. The number is used to give a preliminary estimate of the size of the activity.

Section Two

Event: The Solicitation is Issued

The entries in this section of the CCR provide information on the personnel authorized to perform the workload in the PWS, the number of workyears used to accomplish the workload in the PWS, and the type and kind of solicitation.

The DoD Component shall enter the following data elements at the first quarterly update subsequent to the issuance of the solicitation:

[17] [Reserved]

[18] Solicitation-Type Code. A one-character alpha designator that identifies the type of solicitation used to obtain contract bids or offers. Use either the CBD as the source document or information received from the contracting officer for this entry. Solicitations under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act are negotiated.

The number of annual workyears it has taken to perform the work described by the PWS before the DoD Component conducts the MEO study of the in-house organizations; do not include contract monitor requirements. Military workyears include assigned, borrowed, diverted, and detailed personnel.

An annual workyear is the use of 2,087 hours (including authorized leave and paid time off for training). For example, when full-time employees whose work is completely within the PWS are concerned, “one workyear” normally is comparable to “one employee” or two part-time employees, each working 1,043 hours in a fiscal year. Also include in this total the workyears for full-time employees who do not work on a full-time basis on the work described by the PWS. For example, some portion of the workload is performed by persons from another work center who are used on an “as needed” basis. Their total hours performing this workload is 4,172 hours. This would be reflected as two workyears. Less than one-half year of effort should be rounded down, and one-half year or more should be rounded up.

These workyear figures shall be the baseline for determining the manpower savings identified by the management study.

[13] Announcement—personnel estimate civilian, and [14] announcement—personnel estimate military. The number of civilian and military personnel allocated to the CAs undergoing conversion and/or comparison at the time the start of the conversion and/or comparison is approved. This number is all cases shall be those personnel figures identified when the conversion and/or comparison was approved and will include authorized positions, temporaries, and borrowed labor. The number is used to give a preliminary estimate of the size of the activity.

[15] Revised and/or original cost comparison number. When a consolidation occurs, create a new DCSCCR containing the attributes of the consolidated conversion and/or comparison. In the DCSCCR of each conversion and/or comparison being consolidated, enter the conversion and/or comparison number of the new DCSCCR in this data element and code “Z” in data element [12] of this section. In the new DCSCCR, this data element should be blank and data element [12] of this section should denote the current status of the conversion and/or comparison. Once the consolidation has occurred, only the new DCSCCR requires future updates.

When a single conversion and/or comparison is being broken into multiple conversion and/or comparisons, create a new DCSCCR for each conversion and/or comparison broken out from the original conversion and/or comparison. Each new DCSCCR shall contain its own unique set of attributes; in data element [15] of this section enter the conversion and/or comparison number of the original conversion and/or comparison from which each was derived, and in data element [12] of this section enter the current status of each conversion and/or comparison. For the original conversion and/or comparison, data element [15] of this section should be blank and data element [12] of this section should have a code “B” entry. Only the derivative record entries require future updates.

When a consolidation or a breakout occurs, an explanatory remark shall be entered in data element [56] of this section (such as, “part of SW region cost comparison,” or, “separated into three cost comparisons”).
