The Software Acquisition Directorate operates as a center for application development, maintenance, testing, sustainment, and deployment of DCMA unique systems including Mechanization of Contract Administration Services (MOCAS), Shared Data Warehouse (SDW) and the DCMA Service Center. DCMA places high priority on ensuring that applications meet Agency requirements and are stable, reliable and secure.

DCMA eTools unique applications are built for DCMA's Functional Business Directorates such as Leadership and Management, Contracts, Pricing, Industrial Engineering, Program Integration, Quality Assurance, Government Property Management, Transportation and Packaging Contingency, and Contracts CCAS.
