Duties include but are not limited to:


Independently plans, negotiates, leads, and/or administers complex contracts/procurements of goods, systems or services with specialized, state-of-the-art, critical, or scarce requirements.

These are characterized by a lack of any previous cost data, use of a wide variety of cost and fixed-price contracts, multi-year contracts and extensive use of subcontractors, frequent changes in terms conditions or funding arrangements, and similar difficulties.

Resolves most problems and work issues without the assistance of others.

Develops and/or reviews complex contractual pricing arrangements and incentives characterized by multiple incentives requiring sophisticated contracting techniques and sharing arrangements such as cost-plus-incentive-fees or fixed-price-incentive-fees, where the agency and the contractor share cost risk, or economic price adjustment clauses for adjusting labor and material costs where price cannot be reasonably predicted at the time of negotiation.

Established policies/procedures provide guidance for most assignments, but allow considerable discretion for employee to select the most appropriate approach(es) or develop new approaches.

Manages all contractual aspects of a major program requiring long-range procurement planning and administers complex contracts which require day-to-day negotiations of significant contract changes, monitoring numerous special provisions, coordinating extensive subcontracting involvement, and observing rigid time frames.

Audits or reviews major acquisitions of similar complexity and presents findings, recommends corrective actions as well as policy or procedure improvements.

Contacts are internal and external; however, the incumbent may act as a point of contact to provide advice and guidance on the applications of policies and procedures.

Monitors contractor performance and a large number of subcontractors while negotiating forward pricing rates and claims, complex changes, and terminations or contract close outs.

Serves as termination contracting officer in connection with a major project in which several years of work have been expended.

Reviews, advises on, develops and recommends operating unit-wide or agency-wide procurement processes and systems, procedures and policies, or equivalent assignments.

Work is reviewed rarely, typically though status reports and at project completion, to ensure policy compliance and alignment with the requirements of projects and/or other work activities.
