Senior Contracts Specialist

Responsibilities:

Noblis is hiring a Senior Contracts Specialist to support the Threat Systems Management Office (TSMO) onsite in Huntsville, AL.

This position will enable TSMO to execute full lifecycle contract actions from pre-award to post-award phases of contracting, interpreting and applying laws, regulations, policies, standards, or procedures regarding acquisitions in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) as necessary.

The mission of the Threat Systems Management Office (TSMO) is to manage the Army Threat System Programs to include the total life cycle of threat systems for testing and training in live, virtual, and constructive environments. TSMO designs, builds and tests representations of operational and emerging hostile systems with virtually identical performance capabilities that match the identified threat. TSMO ensures all threat systems are continually developed, upgraded, and/or modified and tested to reflect the current threat weapons systems platforms with state-of-the-art technology to support new and emerging DOD weapon systems. Additionally, TSMO conducts threat assessment and analysis in conjunction with the Army, Navy and other joint services operations.

TSMO utilizes a combination of simulators and simulation models, foreign material acquisition, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTs), and new development efforts to achieve its goal of providing threat relevant Electronic Warfare (EW), Information Operations (IO), integrated air defense (IADs), and command and control (C2) capabilities to support Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) events. These OT&Es include Network Integration Evaluations (NIEs), Combatant Commander events, as well as other testing and training events. TSMO requires a range of activities associated with conceptualizing, developing, and supporting the execution of testing events. Support is required to allow for more realistic threat representation testing for both hardware and/or software, and to upgrade threat systems and sub-systems with modern techniques that will offer superior threat representation testing against foreign threats.

The Senior Contract Specialist will:

• Develop contract requirement acquisition packages.
• Recommend the appropriate contract type or contract method for the product or service being procured.
