IDIQ/GWAC Manager (Contract Vehicle & Task Order Management)

About the role

JCS is seeking an IDIQ/GWAC Manager to own the management of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) and Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) vehicles and to drive disciplined, compliant task order management across the enterprise.

The IDIQ/GWAC Manager will be responsible for the end-to-end management of JCS’s portfolio of IDIQ contracts, GWACs, Multiple Award Contracts (MACs), and Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), serving as the central point of accountability for each vehicle from award through closeout.

Responsibilities

• Manage the lifecycle of JCS’s IDIQ, GWAC, MAC, and BPA vehicles from award through closeout, serving as the single point of accountability for each vehicle.
• Maintain a master repository of vehicle terms, ceiling values, periods of performance, option years, labor categories/rates, and modifications, keeping it current and audit-ready.
• Monitor contract ceiling utilization, obligations, and funding; forecast ceiling burn and proactively flag capacity constraints or renewal windows to leadership.
• Manage option exercises, vehicle renewals, on-ramp/off-ramp windows, and required modifications in coordination with contracting officers and prime partners.
• Support new vehicle capture — supporting bids, self-scoring, certifications, and submissions to win positions on new IDIQs and GWACs.
• Continuously identify, qualify, and maintain a rolling pipeline of task order opportunities issued under held vehicles.
• Partner with Capture and Growth teams to prioritize task order pursuits and shape winning bid strategies.
• Coordinate task order proposal development across Pricing, Contracts, Solutioning, and Proposal teams to ensure compliant, on-time submissions.
• Analyze task order requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions to build compliant response outlines and shred/compliance matrices.
• Shepherd awarded task orders through transition to program delivery, ensuring a clean hand-off of scope, funding, and deliverables to program teams.
• Ensure adherence to master IDIQ/GWAC terms, the FAR and DFARS, and agency-specific requirements across all vehicles and task orders.
• Manage required vehicle reporting — including GSA sales/usage reporting, small business subcontracting reports, and CPARS coordination — accurately and on schedule.
• Verify that JCS’s small business and socioeconomic commitments (8(a), EDWOSB, SDB) are upheld in vehicle and task order execution.
• Serve as the primary liaison to government contracting officers (COs/CORs), prime contractors, and teaming partners on vehicle matters.
• Negotiate and manage teaming agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and subcontractor relationships on multi-award vehicles.
• Maintain clear, proactive communication with internal stakeholders and external partners throughout the vehicle and task order lifecycle.
• Produce vehicle health dashboards and pipeline reports — tracking win rate, utilization, ceiling burn, and revenue by vehicle — for executive leadership.
• Provide data-driven recommendations on vehicle strategy, task order prioritization, and portfolio investment.
