everyday use of more than 4,000 contracting terms from over 100 sources. This publication has greatly expanded
upon our previous series, the Desktop Guide to Basic Contracting Terms, to include new and recent terms contract
managers may encounter on the job.
All terms and their definitions have been compiled from official sources or from publications by recognized
experts in the field. Entries have been adapted and edited for content, consistency, and clarity of meaning. Where
appropriate, contextual relevance has been provided. NCMA encourages using the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR), its agency supplements, the United States Code (U.S.C.), the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and other
official sources for more detailed information. Source codes accompany the definitions. These have been listed
with their corresponding source information in the Source Code List beginning on page 301). If a definition is not
accompanied by a source code, it is considered original to this edition.
The NCMA’s Contract Management Dictionary serves as a training tool and on-the-job reference for both new
entrants into the field and more seasoned practitioners, as well as a study tool for certification examinations. Other
study manuals and resources for professional certification examinations are also available from NCMA.
