Defense Contracting Agency

The Defense Contracting Agency refers to government bodies, such as the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), that oversee contracts between the military and private companies. Their primary role is to ensure that contractors deliver goods and services—like weapons, vehicles, and technology—according to agreed specifications, budgets, and schedules. They monitor quality, manage risks, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. By doing so, they help maintain a reliable supply chain for the defense sector, ensuring that the military has the necessary resources to operate effectively and safely.
