Contract Specialist
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions (like contact for accommodation? That's maybe part of posting but could be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The accommodation request might be considered application instructions? It's about reasonable accommodation request; likely considered part of application process, so remove. Also remove background check details? That's substantive? Might be considered part of job requirements? It's about employment condition; maybe keep? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep details about responsibilities, required skills, education/experience, salary statement, benefits list, maybe location info, reporting, etc. Also mention "Full-time Contract Specialist". The location list is substantive. Also mention reporting to one of locations. Also mention "The Contract Specialist serves customer needs through professional placement of Government Contracts..." That's about role. Could be "About the role". Responsibilities section: list duties. Requirements: maybe education/experience. Qualifications: maybe required skills? Actually they have Required Skills and Required Education/Experience. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow headings list; we can choose which to include. We need to avoid thin sections. Let's extract substantive content:
- About the role: description of role: "The Building People, LLC, has a position open for a full-time Contract Specialist. This position would have to report to one of the following locations: Atlanta, GA, Birmingham, AL, Charlotte NC, Tampa, FL, or Nashville, TN. The Contract Specialist serves customer needs through professional placement of Government Contracts, including a full range of Pre-award and Post-award functions, e.g. price/cost analysis, administration, and termination of contracts in the Public Building Services organization."
- Responsibilities/Duties: list: procure wide range of design and construction, services, supplies, and other services, utilizing a variety of acquisition methods and contracting vehicles. Procurement Actions involve contracts above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). Provides direction/guidance to purchase goods or services which includes Market Research and analysis for best pricing, adhering to budgetary guidelines and reporting research and pricing to management to assist in acquisitions. All work is governed by the FAR and supplemented by additional regulations, legal precedents and agency policy and procedures.
- Required Skills: list: Knowledge of cost and price analysis and cost accounting standards sufficient to perform the full range of strategic, analytical, technical procurement assignments. Knowledge/skills in both written and oral communications to keep GSA Management, customers and contractors apprised of project status and procurement issues of mutual concern. Knowledge of business practices sufficient to identify sources, recent developments and trends, economic factors affecting procurements and anticipated requirements of Federal agencies; to analyze cost and pricing data and contract proposals; and to evaluate the offers for responsibility. Knowledge of the full range of Federal Socioeconomic and labor policies and regulations, including those related to small business, small disadvantaged business, women-owned businesses, 8(a), the Service Contract Act, Javits Wagner O’day Act and the Davis Bacon Act. Knowledge of current software and media applications to facilitate the efficient exchange of information via email, spreadsheets, Webex, Federal Procurement Data System - Next Generation (FPDS-NG), Electronic Contract File Viewer (ECF), Federal Business Opportunities (FBO), E-buy, Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) Procurement Processing System (EASi) and other software programs.
- Required Education/Experience: list: 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor's degree with a major in any field; OR At least 24 semester hours in any combination of the following fields: accounting business, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management; OR Four (4) years of experience in Contracting or similar position. 40 Hours of Professional Acquisition Related Training.
- Salary: "Salary offered will be commensurate with the candidate's experience, qualifications, and certifications." This is vague; we should not create Pay section if content is just "commensurate with experience". The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state salary offered will be commensurate... that's still stating something, but it's vague. However they said never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") . So we should NOT include a Pay section because the content is placeholder-like. So omit Pay.
- Benefits: list: Competitive benefits for eligible employees include: Medical & Rx, Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending Accounts, 401(k) Retirement Plan, Life Insurance/AD&D, Long Term Disability and Short-Term Disability, Paid Time Off, Holiday Pay. That's specific. So include Benefits section.
- Schedule: Not mentioned besides full-time. No schedule details. So omit Schedule.
- Also maybe include "Additional Information" about background check etc. That's substantive but maybe could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be a separate section like "Additional Information". But headings list does not include Additional Information; we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those specific sections; we can also add other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate; we could also add other headings if needed? Probably better to stick to those. So we can place background check info under Requirements or Qualifications? It's about employment condition; maybe under Requirements? Could be under Qualifications? Might be better to add a section "Requirements" for education/experience, and "Qualifications" for skills? Actually they have Required Skills and Required Education/Experience. Could map Skills to Skills heading, Education/Experience to Requirements heading. Qualifications maybe combine? But we have both Skills and Requirements headings available. We'll use:
About the role
About the role
...
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
Education/Experience: ...
maybe also include 40 Hours of Professional Acquisition Related Training.Skills
- ... ...
Benefits
- ... ...
? The instruction only gave examples; not strict prohibition. But to be safe, we could incorporate into Requirements or Qualifications. However the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings for those sections; we could also add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. So we can add background check info under Requirements (maybe as a note). Or we could add a
after Requirements. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, accommodation request, etc. So remove those paragraphs. Now craft HTML. We'll produce:
