NDBC

A Non-Developmental Base Contract is a contract for items or services that already exist and do not require significant development effort. NDBCs procure commercially available products, previously developed government items, or services that can be delivered using existing capabilities without research and development.

NDBC acquisitions follow streamlined procedures appropriate for mature products and established services. The approach reduces procurement timelines and costs by leveraging existing market solutions rather than funding custom development. Contractors offering commercial or previously developed solutions benefit from NDBC acquisition strategies that recognize the value of proven, available capabilities.
