CDRLITE

CDRLITE is a simplified version of the Contract Data Requirements List process designed to reduce administrative burden while maintaining essential data deliverable tracking. CDRLITE applies streamlined procedures for lower-risk or less complex data items, allowing faster approval and reduced documentation requirements compared to full CDRL processes.

The streamlined approach is typically used for routine data deliverables, commercial items, or contracts below certain thresholds where extensive data management oversight is not warranted. CDRLITE maintains the essential elements of delivery schedules, format requirements, and acceptance criteria while eliminating unnecessary bureaucratic steps. Contractors benefit from reduced proposal preparation effort and faster deliverable approval cycles.
