Morphology

nonprocurement = procurement (transparent) = non + procure + ment

The negative prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the noun 'procurement', giving 'not relating to procurement'.

Etymology

Nonprocurement breaks into non- 'not' and procurement 'the act of getting or buying things', like in purchase. So, to call a procedure nonprocurement means it is not subject to the usual buying rules.
