A scheduling reference used in government contracts and project management to specify when a deliverable, milestone, or contractual obligation is due, measured as a number of calendar or working days after the contract award date. DACA is commonly used in contract schedules, Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and project plans to establish delivery timelines. Contractors should monitor DACA milestones carefully, as failure to meet contractual due dates may affect performance evaluations, payment, or overall contract compliance.
