DPC

Defense Pricing and Contracting is the office within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment responsible for DoD contracting policy, pricing policy, and contract administration oversight. DPC issues policy guidance affecting all DoD contracting activities.

DPC policies shape how DoD conducts acquisitions and evaluates contractor pricing. Understanding DPC guidance helps contractors align their approaches with current DoD priorities. DPC initiatives on pricing, commercial item determinations, and contract administration affect contractor operations.
