Contract Management Strategy for the 21st Century

Abstract

This study examines the current roles and missions of the Defense Contract Management Agency in providing Contingency Contract Administration Services (CCAS) for contractors on the battlefield. This study reviews the historical use of contingency contracting and identifies strategic issues associated with the current process for supporting deployments. This study specifically focuses on the effectiveness of CCAS operations in the Balkans and identifies areas for improving future support to the warfighter. This analysis promulgates the need to develop joint doctrine relative to planning contractor support in the theater and provides a strategic vision for expanding contract management services for the warfighting Commander-In-Chiefs (CINCs).
