Contracting for Research and Development

David H. Weber

Abstract:	A brief and simple outline of contracting procedures and requirements for the acquisition of the Navy's needs will be presented. Examples of the roles of Engineers/Scientists in the Contracting process will be given. The purpose of the Department of Defense's acquisition mission is to develop and supply the weapons, services and supplies reg to meet the nation's defense needs. Although working under the same laws and basic regulation, the methods of achieving this goal of defense vary among the services, even among different commands within each service, and are constantly changing. Because of the variations between agencies, to explain the process in detail would almost be impossible for one person.
