PD2

Procurement Desktop-Defense is the standard automated contract writing system used by Department of Defense contracting offices to create, manage, and administer contracts. PD2 generates contract documents, tracks procurement actions, and interfaces with other DoD financial and procurement systems.

PD2 enforces regulatory compliance by incorporating required FAR and DFARS clauses based on contract characteristics. Contracting officers use PD2 throughout the procurement lifecycle from solicitation development through contract closeout. Understanding PD2 capabilities and limitations helps contractors anticipate how their contracts will be structured and administered within DoD's automated procurement infrastructure.
