The Misperception of Contingency Contracting

Abstract

When many people think of contingency contracting, a myriad of images come to mind. Many of these images are related to war, as in Iraq and Afghanistan. Contingency contracting is something done by soldiers on the battlefield. Other images revolve around the activities associated with contingency contracting--typically images of military men and women carrying bags full of money executing purchases on foreign soil. While these images are not totally inaccurate, they are limited in scope.
