CCAR

A Congressional Contract Action Report is a report provided to Congress documenting significant contract actions, typically those exceeding specified dollar thresholds or involving matters of congressional interest. CCARs ensure legislative oversight of major procurement activities.

CCAR requirements affect timing and documentation for large contract awards. Understanding congressional reporting requirements helps contractors appreciate the additional scrutiny and potential delays associated with high-value or sensitive procurements. CCARs demonstrate accountability for significant expenditures of appropriated funds.
