In United States Government contracts, the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) is a list of authorized data requirements for a specific procurement that forms a part of the contract. It consists of either a single DD Form 1423-1 or a series of individual CDRL forms containing data requirements and delivery information. The CDRL is the standard format for identifying potential data requirements in a solicitation, and deliverable data requirements in a contract. Subpart 215.470 of the Defense Acquisition Regulations System (DFARS) document requires the use of the CDRL in solicitations when the contract will require delivery of data.
CDRLs should be linked directly to Statement of Work (SOW) tasks and managed by the program office data manager. Data requirements can also be identified in the contract via Special Contract Clauses (e.g., DFARS), which define special data provisions such as Rights in Data, Warranty, etc.
The purpose of the CDRL is to provide a standardized method of clearly and unambiguously delineating the Government's minimum essential data needs. The CDRL groups all of the data requirements in a single place rather than have them scattered throughout the solicitation or contract.
The acronym CDRL is normally pronounced "see-drill".

(after the first paragraph) CDRLs may also be included in contracts with other governments, but will not use the Form 1423.
