Abstract
The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is a Department of Defense (DoD) Combat Support Agency responsible for ensuring the integrity of the government contracting process and providing a broad range of acquisition management services. DCMA’s contract management mission provides contract administration services (CAS) to our military services worldwide and contingency contract support in theater. DCMA provides CAS on more than 324,000 prime contracts being performed at more than 18,500 contractor locations. The face value of these agency-managed contracts exceeds $1,963 billion, and the agency manages more than one million financial transactions annually to authorize disbursement of approximately $155 billion. DCMA performs its mission through the employment of Information Technology Systems most of which allow internal DCMA and external DCMA users to collect, aggregate, and analyze DoD contract information. Without investment in these systems DCMA would not be able to effectively administer and report on the health on the contracts and contractor’s performing the work. DCMA’s strategic vision is to be DoD's leading experts in Quality Assurance; Cost, Schedule and Supply Chain Predictability; and Contract Administration; enabling our military service and DoD Agency partners to achieve contract objectives. Their ability to achieve contract objectives in a timely and effective manner in part hinges on DCMA’s ongoing efforts to continualy enhance and modernize its Information Technology portfolio in order to research, develop, and implement either more efficient solutions or solutions that will provide our contract partners the ability to realize business process efficiencies. With minimal investment in DCMA toolsets the Department has and can continue to realize efficiencies not just with DCMA but tremendous efficiensies through effective, standardized contract management.
