Operational Contract Support / Acquisition Analyst

Operational Contract Support / Acquisition Analyst

The Logistics Company, Inc. is seeking applicants for the position of Operational Contract Support / Acquisition Analyst. This role is located at HQ USARCENT, Shaw AFB, SC.

Position Summary: Support the USARCENT G4 mission in operational contract support, acquisition analysis, contract integration, and command contract-portfolio management. The specialist turns operational and sustainment needs into traceable requirement packages and gives Government leaders decision-ready visibility into contract actions, dependencies, cost, schedule, performance, and mission risk.

Requirement-Specific Scope of Work:

• Receive, analyze, and document operational or sustainment requirements; clarify the mission need, required outcome, customer, delivery location, period of performance, constraints, dependencies, and acceptance approach.
• 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.
• Integrate contracted support into operational and sustainment planning by identifying Government-furnished support, access, security, deployment, logistics, schedule, and transition dependencies.
• Maintain command contract-portfolio visibility for assigned actions, including status, milestones, period of performance, funding, deliverables, performance concerns, decisions, responsible parties, and follow-on or bridge-action risks.
• Analyze portfolio data to identify duplicative effort, coverage gaps, expiring support, schedule conflicts, cost or funding pressure, and performance risks; develop options for Government consideration.
• 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.
• Provide analysis and recommendations without obligating funds, changing contract terms, directing contractor personnel, representing contracting authority, or performing other inherently governmental functions.

Government-Stated Conditions:

• Must possess and maintain a Secret clearance. The Government recommends an active clearance at hire.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Common Access Card, installation access, and required Government system/network access; performance cannot begin while required access is pending.
• Must read, write, speak, and understand English and maintain professional conduct and appearance.
• Must use Government-furnished equipment and authorized systems for performance; unauthorized personal devices or removable media are prohibited on Government networks.
• Must complete required security, cyber/IA, OPSEC, antiterrorism, iWATCH, and local training. Possible CONUS or OCONUS travel may be designated after award.

Requirements:

• Five or more years of DoD acquisition, contracting support, requirements development, operational contract support, or contract-management experience.
• Experience preparing or reviewing acquisition requirement packages, performance work statements, independent estimates, market research, or contract-action trackers.
• Working knowledge of the FAR/DFARS and Army acquisition processes appropriate to a contractor support role.
• Strong analytical writing, document-quality review, schedule control, and stakeholder-coordination skills.
• DAWIA, FAC-C, CFCM, CPCM, or related acquisition training/certification is preferred but is not stated as a Government requirement.
