Position Description

Incumbent is responsible for the procurement planning and negotiation of a variety of, run-of-the-mill, contracts, such as less difficult and complex cost-plus-fixed-fee and small competitive contracts. Responsibility includes preparation of planning documents and negotiation of original contracts as well as basic amendments, change orders, and revisions. Run-of-the-mill" and less difficult and complex contracts· are defined as those involving procurement of equipment, the manufacture of which requires little engineering talent, when cost of parts makes up a large part of total cost, when parts may be bought off-the-shelf, when it is largely a matter of assembling, or other factors minimize complexity.
