The ten terms selected for this thesis were synthesized from collected definitions, Government regulations and contracting literature and reviewed by National Contract Management Association professionals in previous research efforts. This work differs from previous research in that it takes the terms from those efforts which generated significant diversity and refines them using a modified Delphi Technique. This research is a joint effort conducted by students at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey.
