Role Overview:

The Senior Procurement Advisor will play a pivotal role in supporting a federal client by coordinating federal contracting processes and creating essential acquisition documentation related to professional services, software, hardware, and various IT peripherals. While prior experience in federal contracting is advantageous, it is not mandatory.

Working closely with the project manager (Engagement Lead and Acquisitions Subject Matter Expert), the Senior Procurement Advisor will assist in executing project delivery, formulating acquisition strategies, and drafting diverse documents pertinent to acquisition planning and procurement. This role involves identifying strategic opportunities to enhance customer service within the client's bureau and the broader enterprise. Responsibilities may include drafting acquisition-related documents for the client's customers, creating communication materials, managing stakeholder outreach, and conducting qualitative and quantitative research to develop insightful whitepapers and presentations.

Key responsibilities include coordinating and drafting acquisition documents such as Requests for Information (RFIs), Acquisition Plans (APs), Brand Name Justifications (J&As), Requests for Quotes (RFQs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCEs). This role requires outreach to customer offices to gather use case information and requirements concerning specific IT product utilization, including understanding each customer's office missions and objectives. The Senior Procurement Advisor will facilitate data collection, create customer use case summaries, and draft sections of acquisition documents that contribute to the overall development of acquisition packages.

In addition to facilitating meetings with customers, the Senior Procurement Advisor may also engage with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their resellers, as well as other federal contractor teams. Attendance and note-taking during meetings are essential to document pricing discussions, potential contract terms, and other critical topics that may influence an acquisition.
