Continuous Monitoring Program Material Outstanding File MOF CMP

The Continuous Monitoring Program (CMP) is a Navy surface-fleet supply web application, hosted at cmp.dc3n.navy.mil, that automates weekly reporting of a ship's Material Outstanding File (MOF) — the record of open, unfilled supply requisitions — pulling data from the R-Supply system and feeding it into readiness and OPTAR financial reporting. It is used by afloat supply departments, not the general public, and requires Navy network/CAC access to reach.

What it is

The Material Outstanding File (MOF) is a standard Navy supply record, defined in NAVSUP P-485 (Afloat Supply Procedures), that lists a ship's outstanding requisitions — items ordered but not yet received, including rejected requisitions, back orders, and unfilled material obligations. Per COMNAVSURFORINST 4400.1 (the Naval Surface Force supply procedures instruction), an effective MOF requires an aggressive daily/weekly follow-up program, and CMP reports are the tool used to support that follow-up: ships review CMP reports covering the prior three months as part of supply department inspections. Separate research (a DTIC-hosted analysis of CMP) describes the Continuous Monitoring Program itself as an application that extracts key data from R-Supply and presents concise, actionable reports on a unit's supply status, tied to overall mission readiness reported through the Defense Readiness Reporting System-Navy (DRRS-N).

Who operates it

CMP sits within the Navy surface-fleet supply/financial-readiness reporting chain: COMNAVSURFORINST 4400.1 — the instruction that governs CMP/MOF procedures for surface ships — is jointly issued by Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic (COMNAVSURFLANT, N41) and Commander, Naval Surface Force Pacific (COMNAVSURFPAC, N41). A related NAVSUP contract solicitation (N00189-19-CP-001, issued by NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk) references a Continuous Monitoring Program requirement, consistent with NAVSUP involvement in sustaining the application.

Access

cmp.dc3n.navy.mil returns an HTTP 403 "Access is denied" response from a Navy web server (with valid Navy HSTS/security headers) when reached without a DoD CAC client certificate on the Navy network — consistent with a CAC-gated, .mil-network-only application, not a public site. The Directus record's current "public" access classification appears to be incorrect and should be reclassified.

How logisticians use it

Afloat supply department personnel use CMP-generated reports to review outstanding requisitions against the ship's Material Outstanding File, comparing rejected, back-ordered, and unfilled-obligation line items to current requirements as part of the Material Obligation Validation (MOV) cycle (per NAVSUP P-485 guidance, items open past status-code age thresholds — roughly 30 days for high-priority items, 75 days for others — require revalidation). CMP reports are also referenced during supply department inspections and reviews, and CMP financial figures are compared against a ship's Budget Operating Target (OPTAR) Report to reconcile expenditures.

Related systems

CMP is downstream of R-Supply (the shipboard/afloat supply system it draws data from) and feeds unit supply-readiness data into the Defense Readiness Reporting System-Navy (DRRS-N). It operates alongside the Material Outstanding File and Material Obligation Validation procedures defined in NAVSUP P-485, under the supply-procedures framework set by COMNAVSURFORINST 4400.1.
