The Defense Pricing, Contracting, and Acquisition Policy (DPCAP) Contracting eBusiness (CeB) Directorate manages the DoD enterprise data standards, internal control requirements, and systems required to write, distribute, and manage contract actions across the entire procurement lifecycle from acquisition strategy to contract closeout. We are guided by our strategic plan, which can be viewed here.

See more about P2P and its data integration points, commonly known as “Handshakes”.
