Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report

Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report (IPMDAR)

Government Standards Reviewed by forProject Technology - updated Sep 2026
Quick definition: The Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report (IPMDAR) is a US Government contract report that reflects current and forecast contract cost and schedule performance. It is issued under data item description DI-MGMT-81861, currently at revision C.

The IPMDAR was introduced in March 2020, replacing the Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR). It has been revised since: the DoD EVMS Interpretation Guide cites DI-MGMT-81861C as the current revision, or as otherwise specified by contract. The IPMDAR is made up of three parts — the Contract Performance Dataset (CPD), the Schedule Performance Dataset (SPD), and a Performance Narrative Report. Together these give the government a current picture of contract status alongside a forecast of where performance is heading.

Why it matters

Standardizing this reporting into machine-readable datasets (the CPD and SPD) makes it easier for government analysts to load, compare, and trend contract performance data across projects, rather than manually parsing narrative reports.
