Receive and triage contract requests from program staff; confirm service need, period of performance, funding source, and required timeline. Develop or support development of scopes of service and ensure alignment with program intent, grant or appropriation allowability, and state contracting requirements. Prepare or validate contract budgets, including maximum liability, line-item structure, and required budget attachments.

Plan backward from deadlines to keep contract work moving and prevent gaps in service. 2. Competitive procurement management Purpose: Support competitive procurement integrity and timely completion of RFA, RFGP, and related requirements. Determine whether procurement must be competitive and coordinate early with the appropriate procurement or competitive coordinator. Support development of competitive documents and packages using approved templates, required scoring structure, and attachment standards.

Ensure required forms, attachment consistency, documentation standards, and other competitive integrity steps are completed. 3. Caspio contract tracking and workflow management Purpose: Maintain accurate, current contract records and use Caspio to actively manage work across the contract lifecycle.

Create and maintain contract records with complete and accurate required fields, including identifiers, vendor, term dates, maximum liability, funding source, competitive status, and milestones. Monitor workflow and status stages, respond to send‑back items, correct documentation, and resubmit packages promptly. Use Caspio reporting views to identify expiring contracts, prioritize renewals, and track open requests by workflow stage. 6. Invoice review, payment processing, and monitoring Purpose: Support timely payment while ensuring invoices align with contract terms, budgets, deliverables, and documentation requirements. Review contract invoices for accuracy, alignment with contract terms and budget, required documentation, and deliverable requirements. Ensure invoices are properly stamped, reviewed, accurately coded, and routed for payment within five business days of receiving the invoice and required support. Track invoice status using Caspio and follow up on invoices stalled in workflow. Maintain monitoring files or Caspio/Excel reports to track cumulative spend, remaining balances, invoicing cadence, late invoices, contract end‑date risk, renewal status, and issues requiring corrective action. Identify and elevate risks early, including late invoicing, documentation gaps, overspend risk, and end‑date risk, with recommended corrective actions. 7. Program support, stakeholder coordination, and recordkeeping Purpose: Provide hands‑on contract support and maintain audit‑ready files across the contract lifecycle. Assist program staff with contract development and submissions by providing templates, guidance, and hands‑on coordination from draft through execution. Coordinate across program, fiscal, legal, procurement, and leadership stakeholders to move contracts through review efficiently. Provide routine status updates to program leadership on contract progress, execution timelines, and invoice/payment status.
