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. Develops and maintains a strong knowledge of the Subcontract Specialist’s assigned commodity, keeping abreast of the companies which make up the supply base in that commodity, the capabilities of those suppliers, the solutions those suppliers offer, and the ability of those suppliers to meet Northrop Grumman’s quality requirements, mission assurance requirements, contract flowdowns, and terms and conditions. Supports prime proposal activity through Requests for Information (RFI) and other solicitations.

+ **Solicitation:** Crafts and issues Requests for Quote (RFQ) and Requests for Proposal (RFP), ensuring all required elements and flowdowns are contained and that all pre-solicitation requirements have been met. Ensures that the requesting program and subcontractor are aligned with regard to the requirements contained in the solicitation, and ensures that any questions or clarifications with regard to technical documents are fully vetted. In the case of fair and open competition, ensures correct supplier selection and a level playing field for all competitors. Works with suppliers throughout the solicitation period to ensure bids will be received on time and complete from enough suppliers for a valid competition and that questions are answered in a timely manner.

+ **Quote/Proposal Evaluation:** Vets quotes/proposals received to ensure adequacy based on the requirements contained in the solicitation. Thoroughly identifies and fully addresses all clarifications, ground rules, assumptions, and exceptions contained in the quote/proposal. Analyzes the proposed price to identify fair and reasonable pricing.

In the case of competition, leads a multi-functional down-select process to ensure that a winner is selected fairly and in accordance with the competitive criteria established in the solicitation.

Takes a selfless team-based approach in helping colleagues through difficult tasks, training and being trained by other members of the team to ensure a broad-based and portable skillset, and by modeling the kindness and positivity that gives Launch Vehicles Global Supply Chain its strong people-first culture.

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.
