Procurement Division

NDIA's Procurement Division (PD) monitors and advances sound and practicable procurement/acquisition policies and procedures on all matters affecting government/industry business relationships relating to the procurement/acquisition process, allowing government to obtain needed supplies and services at an equitable and reasonable price with the least possible disruption of industrial practices. In achievement of this, PD maintains a close working relationship with appropriate government and industry agencies and conducts special studies to provide government with industry perspectives on policies, practices, needs, and problems. PD also serves member companies by providing information on recent developments related to the acquisition process.
