Defense Contracting Management Agency (DCMA)

The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for overseeing and ensuring the delivery of defense contracts. They work directly with contractors to monitor quality, schedule, and cost performance, ensuring that defense projects—like aircraft, ships, and other military equipment—are completed on time and meet required standards. By providing oversight and guidance, DCMA helps prevent issues, reduces risks, and ensures taxpayers’ dollars are used effectively in supporting national security.
