Credibility
The CMS™ was established as the result of a job task analysis survey of contract managers and working groups comprised of materially affected and interested parties. This process included a survey of contract managers, expert drafting, peer review, and a formal public comment validation.
On April 22, 2019, the Board of Standards Review of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approved NCMA’s Contract Management Standard© publication as an American National Standard (ANS). As the sponsor of ANSI/NCMA ASD 1-2019 (R2022), NCMA continues to fulfill its vision to, “lead in defining the standards and the body of knowledge for the contract management profession.” Learn how this impacts NCMA.
