Morphology

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

The negation 'non-' applied to 'procurement' yields a straightforward negative noun meaning.

Etymology

Nonprocurement is made of non- 'not' and procurement 'the act of getting or buying things', similar to purchase, and as a noun it names an agreement or process that is 'not' a normal purchase. So, a nonprocurement is a deal or funding handled outside the usual buying or contract rules.
