Procurement Manager

**This position is contingent upon contract award**

SOSi is seeking a Procurement Manager to support mission requirements for a structured approach to further develop, integrate, and sustain a scalable, federated data ecosystem that enhances interoperability, governance, and mission-driven analytics for a DoD customer. The primary objective of the program is to bridge the operational gaps between DoD, IC, interagency, and non-traditional international partners to enable real-time information sharing, dynamic data integration, and mission-tailored analytical capabilities.

Essential Job Duties:

• Develop and execute procurement workflows, ensuring timely acquisition of software, hardware, and cloud services in alignment with operational needs.
• Negotiate vendor agreements, oversee contract execution, and track procurement performance against budgetary constraints.
• Submit the Procurement & Acquisition Status Report, detailing purchase orders, vendor performance assessments, and financial allocations.
• Coordinate with all active Work Orders to track, validate, and consolidate software and service license requirements across the program; including but not limited to licenses for GIS tools, data catalogs, CI/CD platforms, and dashboard/reporting tools.
• Asist the Government in negotiating shared software usage agreements, license pooling, and chargeback structures where one Work Order provisions software for use by others.
• Coordinate with all active Work Orders to validate software, data, infrastructure, and service license requirements across the program. Where shared services or platform components are provisioned under one Work Order for use by others, the contractor shall support the Government in establishing and administering chargeback models to ensure proper cost attribution and avoid duplication of funding.
• Assist with negotiating chargeback structures either through this Work Order or through the provisioning Work Order, subject to approval by the Government PM and COR.
  • Chargebacks may include but are not limited to:
    • Data Lake services (e.g., Databricks, Notebooks, Unity Catalog)
    • ESRI GIS tools and extensions (e.g., ArcGIS Enterprise, GeoAnalytics)
    • Kubernetes-based infrastructure for geospatial workloads
    • Commercial data subscriptions (e.g., Janes, Spire, Vannevar Labs)
    • GitHub/GitLab repositories and CI/CD collaboration tools
    • Research materials and secure access (e.g., academic journals, OSINT platforms)
    • Cloud infrastructure resources (e.g., GovCloud IL4/IL5 compute and storage)
• Document all chargeback activities in the centralized license and services ledger to support program-wide visibility and audit readiness.
• Maintain a centralized license and services ledger, updated in coordination with other Work Orders, and all provisioning Work Orders. This ledger shall be used to support license forecasting, reconciliation, and strategic procurement decisions across the program.

Minimum Requirements:

• Knowledge and capability to oversee the procurement lifecycle, including vendor negotiations, acquisition strategy development, and compliance with DoD procurement policies.
• Proficient in contract management, cost analysis, and supply chain logistics.
• Strong negotiation and financial analysis skills are required to optimize procurement decisions.
• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related field, or;
  • Five (5) years of equivalent experience in procurement management.
• Demonstrated expertise in the DFARS and FAR processes for procurement, managing government contracts, conducting market research, and negotiating vendor agreements.
• Experience with federal procurement regulations, cost estimation, and acquisition documentation is required, along with proficiency in contract lifecycle management and compliance audits.
• Personnel must also be able to analyze procurement strategies to ensure alignment with DoD acquisition policies and cost efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM) or Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM).
