Our Values

Values are the ideals we care most about and consider important. They are commitments we make to our country, as well as to our customers, our stakeholders, and ourselves. Our seven core values need to be the intrinsic character traits that are instrumental in guiding us when making decisions and in our daily professional conduct. These values are the foundation upon which our relations with our teammates and customers are based. They drive the way we think, act, and work every day. We will be known and judged as individuals and as an organization on how well we live these core values.

• Loyalty Bear true faith and allegiance to our nation, DCMA, our customers and stakeholders. Our people are loyal citizens. We demonstrate our loyalty to DCMA, our customers, and our stakeholders by striving to meet the highest standards of quality performance.
• Duty Fulfill your obligations. When we make commitments to our teammates, our customers, and ourselves, we keep them. We fully understand our mission and the vital role it plays in supporting our nation's war-fighters.
• Respect Treat people as they should be treated. People are DCMA. We value their opinions and ideas. We believe diversity is a force multiplier. We trust, respect, and help one another.
• Selfless Service Put the welfare of our nation, the warfighter, and your colleagues before your own. We are committed to ensuring that all demands put in front of us are met - efficiently and effectively. Our goal is to exceed our customers' expectations. We actively solicit feedback from our customers to improve our service to them and reinforce their trust in us.
• Honor Live up to all the DCMA values. Our values promote personal dignity, integrity, and pride. We live them every day with every action we take and every service we provide. Honesty and fairness are fundamental to our dealings with each other and our customers.
• Integrity Do what's right - legally and morally. We value personal and organizational integrity. The American taxpayer and our war-fighting customers deserve and demand nothing less than the highest possible level of personal integrity. We are fully accountable for the resources entrusted to our care.
• Personal Courage Face day-to-day challenges with confidence and resolution. We maintain "one focus, customer focus." We endeavor every day to make sure our warfighting customers get the right item, at the right time, for the right price - every time - around the clock, around the world.
