• Support development and quality review of acquisition-planning and requirement documents, including scopes or performance work statements, market-research inputs, cost-estimate support, funding and approval artifacts, evaluation-support material, and action trackers as assigned.

• Verify that requirement packages are complete, internally consistent, traceable to the supported mission, and ready for Government review before submission to contracting or resource-management personnel.

• Coordinate with requiring activities, planners, logisticians, resource managers, legal counsel, CORs, contracting personnel, and other stakeholders to resolve packa

• Prepare decision papers, staff summaries, briefings, data-call responses, review materials, meeting records, and executive-level contract-status products.

• Track Government decisions and assigned actions through closure and preserve the documentation needed for continuity, audit support, and portfolio reviews.
