Contractor Manpower Reporting

Overview

In 2011 Congress mandated an annual count of contractors performing services for the Department of Defense. This mandate was implemented in the FY2011 National Defense Authorization Act. The inclusion of this requirement was to ensure U.S. Code, Title 10, §2330 was complied with.
