Generating DD1149 Forms with eQuip
What is a DD1149 Form?
The DD Form 1149 is a form commonly used by Department of Defense components and contractors. Workers from NASA, DoE, DHS, DoT and the DoJ may be required to use this form in certain circumstances.
It is officially classified as a Requisition and Invoice/Shipping document.
The current version of this form can be found on the Directive Division page.
When is a DD1149 form required?
This form is used in a variety of situations, normally when the movement of government property is involved.
DD1149 forms are commonly used in:
- The return of government furnished property (GFP)
- The shipment of government furnished property (GFP)
- The internal transfer of government property between contracts
- The shipment of government property to other contractors
- The shipment of government property to secondary locations of the prime contractor
How do I complete a DD1149?
The DoD Manual 4161.2-M, Appendix E previously provided instructions on how to fill out and use DD Form 1149. However, this manual has been rescinded and is now considered obsolete. Currently there are no official instructions on how to complete the form. Our recommendations are based on a presentation by Edward Winters, located here.
For contract transfers, it is recommended that you include:
- Losing contract number and information
- Gaining contract number and information
For shipping, it is recommended that you include:

Government property forms are time-consuming
Filling out forms like the DD1149 can be time-consuming and confusing. According to DCMA, DD Form 1149 reporting is estimated to average 1 hour per response.
This includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Here is what one government property administrator shared about his experience:
I’ve worked in Property Management for 35 years and during that time I have prepared more DD1149 Forms than I care to admit.
