Bottom line: When a follow-on contract contemplates the same or similar performance requirements as the predecessor contract, its Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) requirements are typically equivalent to those in the predecessor contract. This concept includes CDRLs intended for compliance with Government Property (GFE/GFP) and Contract Acquired Property (CAP).

Regardless if the incumbent (prime contractor on predecessor contract) or a different firm is awarded the follow-on contract, Government Property assigned to the predecessor contract is transferred to the follow-on contract (see FAR 45.106 Transferring Accountability). Disposition of CAP follows contract terms & conditions (see Subpart 45.4 - Title to Government Property).

Best-practice: validate each CDRL during the Request for Proposal (RFP) preparation phase to ensure your data requirements (1) conform to current policies and (2) are designed to efficiently and effectively delivery information necessary and useful to the Government. See DAU Tool “High-Level Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) Planning Tool” at https://www.dau.edu/tools/Pages/CDRL.aspx and DoD 5010.12-M Procedures for the Acquisition and Management of Technical Data.
