scope:

Purpose. This ACMP was developed specifically to provide in one document the agreed standard set of NATO Configuration Management Terms and Definitions.

Applicability. This ACMP was developed to provide PMs a vehicle by which they could contractually invoke this standard set of NATO Configuration Management Terms and Definitions on contractors.

Application Guidance. It is recommended that whenever PMs require contractors to perform Configuration Management (CM) on multinational joint projects that PMs require all contractors to use the agreed NATO Configuration Management Terms and Definitions to ensure universal understanding of technical terms used. This is easily accomplished by invoking ACMP-6 in the contract.
