Summary of Information Collection


    The Acquisition Management Systems and Data Requirements Control 
List (AMSDL) is a list of data requirements used in Department of 
Defense contracts. Information collection requests are contained in DoD 
contract actions for supplies, services, hardware, and software. This 
information is collected and used by DoD and its component Military 
Departments and Agencies to support the design, test, manufacture, 
training, operation, maintenance, and logistical support of procured 
items, including weapons systems. The collection of such data is 
essential to accomplishing the assigned mission of the Department of
