The Subcontract Specialists work in commodity groups to procure specialized goods and services ranging from commercial or commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware to build-to print / drawing / specification material, to complex assemblies and systems developed from a Supplier Statement of Work (SSOW). Some of the essential functions shared by all Subcontract Specialists include:

    + **Pre-Solicitation:** Responsible for evaluating purchase requisitions (program/project requirements) for compliance to policies and procedures; responsible for creating a sourcing strategy in consultation with program stakeholders to ensure maximum competition, best value to the government/customer, and selection of responsible and qualified suppliers.

    The amount of complexity in the work scope our Subcontract Specialists are assigned depends on their level / grade and on the commodity team that they are assigned to. Although our Subcontract Specialists support commercially or company funded procurements on some of our desks and teams, most of the things we buy are funded by U.S. Government agency contracts, such as Department of Defense (DoD) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This funding comes with many contractual requirements, such as the requirement that our awards are issued in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) along with various agency FAR Supplements, such as the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) and the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (NFARS). There are also many public law requirements and company policies and procedures our Subcontract Specialists must ensure compliance with. Therefore, our subcontracts process involves many steps and complexities. Your required qualifications to handle these steps and complexities will vary depending on the level / grade of the position you are hired for.
