Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report (IPMDAR)

Government Standards Reviewed by forProject Technology - updated Oct 2026
Quick definition: The Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report (IPMDAR) is a U.S. government contract report that shows current and forecast contract cost and schedule performance. It's issued under Data Item Description (DID) DI-MGMT-81861 available at: https://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsDocDetails.aspx?ident_number=278901

The IPMDAR was introduced in March 2020, replacing the Integrated Program Management Report (IPMR). It has three parts: the Contract Performance Dataset (CPD), the Schedule Performance Dataset (SPD), and a Performance Narrative Report. Together they give the government a current picture of contract status and a forecast of where performance is heading. The current revision is DI-MGMT-81861D, dated March 12, 2026.

What this means for you

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.
