APM Personal Statement

For Mid-Year 2017, I have provided significant support to APM in the area of contract administration. I am a NQ-02 Contract Specialist performing similar contract administration tasks as performed by higher-graded staff. I have demonstrated my ability to meet this SPO at the highest level through my use of technical expertise to accomplish contract award transactions to assist NNSA Mission and Mission Support program representatives in placing business instruments that help achieve the programs mission’s goals of efficient, cost effective procurement of supplies and services. For example, as the specialist, I have been successful in planning, soliciting and awarding of assigned contract actions, including completion of all component steps

I have obtained the required clearances and prepared all file documents including, but not limited to, the Acquisition Plan/Request for Quote (RFQ), Competitive Range Determination, Source Selection Determination and Summary of Negotiation documents, as well as the contract document which my contract file documentation demonstrate that actions are completed in a timely manner using sound business judgment and in accordance with applicable regulations, policies and procedures.

Each Contracting Officer provided different skills in contract administration that caused a delay of contract awards to include modifications, etc. due to inconsistency of the guidance that they provided. In particular, the CO decided not to issue a new SME requirement under the existing task order of DE-DT0011895 for the Office of Proliferation Detection (NA-221) Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation R&D, but issued it in a separate RFQ. For this action, I was assigned the new task requirement in which I reviewed the requirement and suggested that the work be added to the existing task order. I provided supporting documentation that was accurate, complete, clear, and organized that reflect my sound business judgment. After the CO reviewed the documentation she decided that the work should go under the existing contract. Through critical
