As part of a multi-functional team, you will participate in procurement activities to ensure compliance with government award requirements and company policies and procedures, as well as conduct thorough market research to identify potential vendors and suppliers, evaluate their capabilities against U.S. Government requirements, and negotiate favorable terms and conditions.

• Collaborate with internal departments to prepare documentation to substantiate sourcing decisions, to include, but is not limited to, cost or price analysis, source justifications, consent to subcontract approvals, evidence of competition, representations and certifications, and commercial item determinations. You will participate in the entire contract lifecycle, including drafting, negotiating, and executing contracts with vendors and suppliers, which includes ensuring appropriate U.S. Government flow-down clauses are included in vendor and supplier agreements and required representations or certifications are obtained (such as, including, but are not limited to, requirements such as certified cost or pricing data, cybersecurity compliance, restrictions on specialty metals, counterfeit part detection and avoidance, and anti-lobbying clauses).  Also, as a key member of U.S. Government or prime contractor proposal teams and support development of documentation to support proposed vendors, suppliers, teaming partners, and related cost.

• Monitor vendors and suppliers performing on government funded agreements for project completion and readiness for close-out. Provide routine evaluation of approved supplier lists and long-term agreements for continued compliance with regulatory requirements and price reasonableness, while supporting completion of mandatory reporting requirements, such as small business participation, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, executive compensation reporting, and incurred cost submissions. You will monitor supplier and vendor performance and compliance, ensuring all parties fulfill their obligations and contractual requirements. As needed, identify performance or compliance matters requiring customer notifications and collaborate with internal departments to prepare and distribute such notifications. Maintain accurate and up-to-date contract records and documentation, including procurement checklists, contract changes, renewals, and amendments, while assisting with resolving any contractual disputes or issues that may arise, working closely with stakeholders to find mutually beneficial solutions.
