As a Contract/Price Cost Analyst at the full performance, you will:

• Evaluate contractor cost proposals, pricing data, and economic trends across all acquisition phases (pre-award through closeout) for complex contracts, grants, and agreements to establish the government's pre-negotiation pricing position.
• Review annual incurred cost submissions and indirect rate proposals, coordinate audit support, and exercise authority to negotiate and settle provisional billing rates and final indirect cost rates with contractors.
• Coordinate and analyze incurred-cost and closeout audits to determine final allowable and allocable costs and negotiate final financial settlements to retire completed contracts.
• Reconcile conflicting findings among technical evaluations and external audit reports to synthesize comprehensive pricing reports and cost conclusions.
• Advise contracting officers, program managers, and source evaluation boards by assessing contractor capabilities and evaluating proposal responsiveness.
• Present comparative cost analyses to support source selection decisions.
