Start here if you have been told to submit DD Form 2139. First, know what you are filling: Report of Contract Performance Outside the United States. The document is titled DD Form 2139, Report of Contract Performance Outside the United States, November 2015.
Then look at the edition date: not stated, publisher status not stated. After that, ask whether the form covers your situation. It almost certainly does regardless of your branch — DD forms run Department-wide rather than through a single service.
Then settle the schedule. You are working under not stated, with not stated responsible for the document, and your organization layers its own deadlines on that. Ask before you assume a date.
Last in this stage, choose your method: complete it on screen, or print the blank form and fill it out in pen. The sections below take each route step by step.
Start at the header. Complete your identification before anything else, then work through the main entries, then finish at the certification. Skipping around causes contradictions between the top of the form and the bottom.
Check the edition before you type a word. The date appears on the face of the form; it should read not stated. When it does not, discard the file and take a fresh copy from this page. Department-level revisions replace the blank across all services simultaneously, which means an old printout can be out of step everywhere.
Look up an unclear item on the form face before anywhere else, then in not stated. Should the two texts conflict, the directive is the one you follow.
Download the form
First, look at what you can download. The set covers PDF, the form runs 1 pages, and you will complete roughly 16 fields.
Download the pdf first. After it opens, test a field with your cursor. Fillable means you type, tab to the next box, and save your work inside the file. Printable means the page is a flat blank, so print it and write your answers in ink.
Go with the typed route whenever the choice is yours. Consider what happens after you submit: the copy gets scanned, forwarded and filed, and each pass costs handwriting some legibility. Block letters help if you are stuck with a pen.
Handle xfdl in two steps. First confirm you have IBM Lotus Forms Viewer or a compatible reader on your machine; ordinary pdf software will report the file as broken. Once the viewer is running, download and fill the form.
All of it downloads free. When you are ready to work, do this: save the file locally, then open it in a full pdf application. Browsers often ignore field properties, and you can lose everything you typed.
What the form asks for
- 1.a. Prime Contract Number. Use solicitation number when report is submitted with offer.
- 1.b. Purchase Order Number (if applicable).
- 2. Program Identification (e.g., F-16 aircraft, F-100 engine, A N/A P N - 59 radar, or type of services)
- 3. Name and division of prime contractor.
- 4. Address of prime contractor. Enter street, city, state, and 9 - digit zip code.
- Press space bar to mark X in first box if first-tier subcontractor, second box if second-tier.
- 6. Address of subcontractor or foreign division of prime contractor. Enter street, city, state, 9 - digit zip code, and country.
- 7. Value, in dollars, of effort performed outside the United States for this action only. Do not include amounts previously reported.
- 8. Country of origin. Enter city and country of actual producer of supplies or firm providing services.
- 9. Description of supplies or services obtained outside the United States (e.g., vertical stabilizer, F-15; Bomb Nav System, F B-111; or repair of F-16 wings).
- 10. Name of company submitting report (prime contractor for reports on first-tier subcontracts or first-tier subcontractor for reports on second-tier subcontracts).
- 5. Name of subcontractor or foreign division of prime contractor. If subcontractor, identify whether first or second tier.

- 14. Date of report. Enter as four-digit year, two digit month, two digit day.
- 13. Signature.
With the form finished, route it to the office named in not stated or in your organization's own instruction. Keep a copy first. People rarely regret having one and frequently regret not having one.
When DD Form 2139 references another form, search on the series and number. Because DD numbers are common to every military department, the number by itself identifies exactly one document.
Here is where people go wrong. They see a number in an instruction and download whichever form matches it. But DA and DD are separate systems — Army-specific in one case, Department-wide under not stated in the other — so check which series you were sent to before you take the file.
Plan to repeat this step whenever the form comes up again. Revisions follow directive changes, changes in what data is collected, and updates to notice language. Since nobody notifies you, check not stated at download and you have covered it.
Before you go, note what is not covered here. You have the blank form and instructions for completing it; you do not have legal guidance, and no statement on this page determines what any office will do with your submission. Direct those questions to not stated, to the personnel office that serves you, or to the office designated in not stated.
