2.2.13. Section 13: Program Cost. Specify any updates to the base document.

For reference or comparison, below is what the JCIDS Manual says for the CDD 2021 itself:

2.5.13. Section 13: Program Cost.

2.5.13.1. The purpose of this section is to identify the overall resources associated with pursuing the capability solution, including materiel and non- materiel costs over its projected lifecycle, and to ensure those resources are planned to be available for successful execution of the program.

2.5.13.2. Cite the cost caps from the acquisition program baseline for unit production and sustainment costs. This information informs lifecycle cost, performance, schedule, and quantity tradeoff discussions. Lifecycle cost data for all increments described in the CDD must be included in this section. Cost estimation used in CDDs shall be consistent with methods outlined in Reference [5].

2.5.13.3. Cite applicable lifecycle cost analyses, conducted IAW Reference [51], including other cost models that may include other U.S. Government agency/department or exportable-based business cases to reduce DoD lifecycle costs. Ensure that resource estimates have been reviewed by the Sponsor’s cost analysis organization to ensure best practices are being followed. Ensure any final reports or other results documentation is uploaded into KM/DS for reference purposes.

2.5.13.4. Show projected lifecycle costs and acquisition quantity as shown in Figure B-13, including cost by fiscal year and type of funding based on threshold levels of performance. Show cost factors used to determine ACAT level per Reference [5]. Present key results from sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, including the confidence levels associated with resource estimates, based on the program’s current level of knowledge. The affordability determination is made as part of the lifecycle cost assessment in the analysis supporting the CDD development which may include updates to earlier cost analyses. Ensure that lifecycle cost in the CDD includes all associated DOTmLPF-P and intelligence support considerations.

2.5.13.5. In a similar manner to what is required by References [5], [52], and [53], describe how the resources outlined in Figure B-14 are affordable under the limitations of the Component’s expected Total Obligation Authority (TOA) over a 30-year timeframe, including identification of legacy capabilities which will be reduced in scope or eliminated to allow funding of the proposed new capability. The 30-year “sand chart” data will be generated using the same OSD inflator values used to comply with affordability in Reference [5], and will be provided within the CDD or as supplemental data uploaded to the KM/DS system.
