(CCR) system is a central repository of data pertinent to the
acquisition and payment process. The centralization of this data
eliminates the duplicative information that was previously
submitted by vendors on the Standard Form 129 and other forms to

one location and renewing annually, in lieu of on a recurring basis
to multiple government contracting and finance activities.
