Contract Requirements List

Definition

A Contract Requirements List is a compilation of all technical, administrative, and deliverable requirements applicable to a contract. CRLs consolidate requirements from the SOW, specifications, CDRLs, and contract clauses into a comprehensive tracking document.

CRLs support systematic contract compliance by identifying all obligations and tracking status. Understanding CRL organization helps contractors ensure nothing is overlooked during performance. Well-maintained CRLs prevent missed deliverables and support audit readiness. CRLs may be contractor-developed or government-required.
