Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA)

The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is a U.S. government agency that oversees the negotiation, administration, and management of defense contracts. It ensures that military and defense-related products and services are delivered on time, meet quality standards, and comply with regulations.
