This thesis is part of a joint research project between students of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA and the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH. The purpose of the research is to establish working definitions for commonly used contracting and acquisition terms and phrases. Twenty five terms were selected from a master list compiled by previous researchers. Contracting literature and regulations were researched to identify published definitions. The published definitions were used to develop a synthesized definition for each of the twenty five terms. The synthesized definitions were submitted to contracting professionals for examination. The acceptability of proposed definitions was based upon consensus and the input from respondents was used to develop a refined definition.
