EDA is a web-based system that provides secure
online access, storage, and retrieval of contracts, contract
modifications, Government Bills of Lading (GBLs), DFAS Transactions
for Others (E110), vouchers, and Contract Deficiency Reports to
authorized users throughout the Department of Defense (DoD). EDA
provides for the online creation of Contract Deficiency Reports
(CDRs) and the CDR Workflow.
The EDA program is one of the Business
Transformation Agency (BTA) Sourcing Environment programs. EDA
supports the goals of the BTA to simplify and standardize the
methods that DoD uses to interact with commercial and government
suppliers in the acquisition of catalog, stock, as well as
made-to-order and engineer-to-order goods and services initiatives
to increase the application of Electronic Business/Electronic
Commerce (EB/EC) across the DoD.
