Procurement Profile
DCMA is the contract administration arm of DoD — relatively small as a buyer but central to GovCon administration. Procurement is primarily for IT systems supporting contract oversight, training, and analytical tools. DCMA's importance to contractors comes from its role in CPSR/Cost Audits, ACOs, and Property Administrators — not its direct buying.
