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. Concurrent research in this area is being
conducted by students at the Naval Postgraduate School,
Monterey, CA and the Air Force Institute of Technology,
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH. Published
definitions of twenty five terms presently used in Government
contracting were examined and a synthesized definition was
developed for each term. The synthesized definitions were
then scrutinized by a selected group of contracting
professionals. Their feedback was used to develop a proposed
definition based upon consensus.
