Items procured include specialized equipment, professional, technical and administrative services, and construction. Our staff members prepare solicitation documents; analyze proposals for conformance with the solicitation; assist with negotiations before and after contract award; and make procurement recommendations. We also assess, recommend, and develop draft procurement policies, procedures and guidance; and evaluate and recommend disposition on requested waivers to statutory requirements.
