Administration of the Contract Closeout Process at the Defense Contract Management District West

Abstract

Defense Contract Management District West (DCMDW), is one of five Defense Contract Management Districts (formerly Defense Contract Administration Services Regions) within the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) that provides contract administration services to DoD and other departments and agencies of the Federal Government. As of December 31, 1988, DCMDW was administering 94,833 contracts with unliquidated obligations of $20.3 billion. DCMDW uses an automated system, "Mechanization of Contract Administration Services," (MOCAS) to maintain control over the administration of contracts, including the contract closeout process. The system is designed to allow DCMDW employees to enter various types of basic contract data and actions into the data base for every contract the region administers. Data items and actions include contract numbers, obligation amounts, scheduled delivery dates, contract administration services required by the contract, modifications and changes to the basic contract, actual delivery quantities and dates, and payments. This information permits the administrative contracting officers (ACO's) to monitor the status of the contracts including the status of funds, deliveries, and other administrative actions.
