The National Contract Management Association (NCMA) recently welcomed SAIC as a new adopter of its Contract Management Standard (CMS) [1]. SAIC, a leading technology integrator, aims to enhance its contract management practices by implementing improved communication, streamlined processes, and robust risk management capabilities [1].

SAIC's commitment to adopting the CMS aligns with the organization's dedication to workforce development and setting a powerful example for the industry. The CMS is globally recognized and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) [2]. Adopting this standard equips SAIC with a structured approach to contract management, facilitating improved communication, streamlined processes, and enhanced risk management [2].

The CMS also serves as the basis for hiring and training frameworks and the NCMA's ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) accredited Certified Contract Management Associate (CCMA) certification [2]. By adopting the CMS, SAIC is expanding opportunities for its procurement professionals and positioning itself to tackle complex challenges more effectively.

The NCMA's CEO, Kraig Conrad, praised SAIC's commitment to the CMS and its impact on the workforce and the missions they serve [1]. This adoption demonstrates SAIC's unwavering commitment to global contracting standards and its role as a leader in the industry.
