Purpose

DSM allows users to initiate and respond to communication to various DoD activities as cited in DFARS PGI 202.101. The application provides insight on contracts with delivery impacts and allows DCMA users to report delay details and forecasted recovery dates. Customers can also initiate Customer Requests requiring immediate action, similar to PIEE CCM application, thus providing information to DoD activities enables them to strategize to support the warfighter’s needs. Use of DSM empowers DCMA to perform the delegated functions in FAR 42.302(a)(31) and DFARS 242.1104(D).

DSM is also a portal for applicable parties to submit, receive, and review reports or other communications for awards. The goal is to provide an enterprise-wide capability within PIEE that: streamlines delivery and reporting administration for all parties to awards, allows DoD field administration office to provide more effective award administration, and ensures a clear audit trail of all forms of communications. The tool is expected to improve compliance with reporting requirements and oversight, resulting in more timely closeout of awards.
