Contract Issue Report

Definition

A Contract Issue Report is a document that identifies and tracks problems, concerns, or questions arising during contract performance. CIRs provide a formal mechanism for raising issues, documenting resolution efforts, and maintaining visibility until closure.

CIR processes help manage contract administration challenges systematically. Understanding CIR procedures helps contractors raise concerns appropriately and track resolution status. Effective CIR management prevents issues from escalating and supports positive contractor-government relationships.
