complex issues or make real-time decisions.
Demonstrate strong written and oral communication skills; prepare clear,
well-organized correspondence, contract documents, and internal
communications; present information accurately and professionally to both
internal and external audiences.
Support the preparation and submission of proposals of moderate complexity
across a variety of contract types and acquisition vehicles; ensure proposals

understanding of what a strong proposal response looks like and flag
submissions that may fall short of the mark.
Track and manage contract deliverable schedules; drive internal teams to
complete required deliverables on time, including responses to CPARS, data
submittals, and other contractual requirements; prepare deliverable packages
for senior leadership review and approval, ensuring completeness and accuracy
prior to submission.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of contract types including Cost Reimbursable
(CR), Time and Materials (T&M), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and IDIQ/Task Order
vehicles; support the administration of these contract types with accuracy
and attention to detail.
Review contractual documents for compliance with company policy, government
specifications, and master agreement requirements; identify and escalate
issues that require senior contracts or legal review.
Demonstrate awareness of Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements and
their distinguishing characteristics relative to traditional FAR-based
contracts; capable of supporting low-complexity OTA efforts under the
guidance of senior contracts staff.
Support OCI plan administration and compliance; ensure team members are
executing required NDAs, track organizational changes that may require plan
updates, and escalate potential OCI concerns to contracts management for
assessment and resolution; demonstrate familiarity with the unique OCI
considerations present in SETA environments, including how systems
engineering and technical assistance roles can create or implicate
organizational conflicts of interest in a development program context.
Maintain awareness of significant regulatory developments, including ongoing
FAR reform initiatives, and demonstrate a genuine interest in understanding
how such changes may affect contract administration and compliance
requirements.
Educate and inform internal team members on contract requirements, deadlines,
