Can a segment of a traditional defense contractor be a non-traditional defense contractor? The term NDC, is defined as: an entity that is not currently performing and has not performed, for at least the one-year period preceding the solicitation of sources by the Department of Defense for the procurement or transaction, any contract or subcontract for the Department of Defense that is subject to full coverage under the cost accounting standards prescribed pursuant to section 1502 of title 41 and the regulations implementing such section. Many traditional defense contractors have segments that are operated as independent units. Would they be considered "entities" separate from their parents?
