Abstract
This thesis is a continuation of research initiated by
Lieutenant Commander Daniel F. Ryan, SC , USN to establish a
basis for defining words and terms used in the field of
contracting. The 20 terms defined in this thesis were
selected from a master list of contracting/procurement terms
compiled by previous researchers. The methodology used to
reach a consensus definition was to: (1) synthesize a
definition from current published sources, (2) validate these
definitions through an opinion survey of a selected group of
contracting professionals, and (3) finalize definitions based
on a consensus from all sources. Students at the Naval
Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA and The Air Force Institute
of Technology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH are conducting concurrent research on this topic.
