Definition

A Data Distribution System is infrastructure and processes for disseminating data to authorized users. In government contracting contexts, DDS may refer to systems for distributing technical data, logistics information, or other contract-related data to stakeholders.

DDS capabilities affect how contractors receive government-furnished data and deliver data products. Understanding DDS requirements helps contractors plan data exchange activities and ensure compatibility with government systems. DDS security and access controls protect sensitive information during distribution.
