Inventory, and its associated clause, 252.204-7023, Reporting 
Requirements for Contracted Services. The burden has been updated with 
current data obtained from the System for Award Management, which is 
the system used by contractors for submission of reports for this 
information collection.
    DFARS subpart 204.17 and the clause at 252.204-7023 implement 10 
U.S.C. 4505 (formerly 10 U.S.C. 2330a), as amended by section 812 of 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, which requires 
DoD to establish a data collection system to provide certain management 
information with regard to each purchase of services by a military 
department or defense agency that exceeds $3 million for services in 
the following service acquisition portfolio groups: logistics 
management services, equipment-related services, knowledge-based 
services, and electronics and communications services.
    The basic DFARS clause 252.204-7023, Reporting Requirements for 
Contracted Services, and its alternate I require a contractor to report 
annually, in the System for Award Management, on the services performed 
under the contract or order, during the preceding Government fiscal 
year. Specifically, the contractor is required to report the following: 
the total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during the 
preceding fiscal year; and the number of direct labor hours, including 
subcontractor hours (when applicable), expended on services performed 
during the previous Government fiscal year.
    This information collection will provide DoD with the ability to 
identify and report annually to Congress, in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 
4505, on the inventory of contractor service contract actions. As an 
adjunct, the information will support DoD's total force management and 
in making strategic workforce planning and budget decisions pursuant to 
10 U.S.C. 129a.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Tucker Lucas. Requests for copies of the 
information collection proposal should be sent to Mr. Lucas at whs.mc-
