Procurement Officer I

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key info: - Department - Procurement - Job Type: Classified - Job Classification: 5368 - Procurement Officer I - Salary Grade: 15 - Pay Range Hiring Range: $72,009 - $86,403 Annually - Pay Range: $72,009 - $100,817 Annually - Range Explanation: Hiring Range is estimate... Pay Range is entire compensation range. - Position description: "The Procurement Officer I position is a professional, salaried position within the Materials & Services Division of the Procurement Department.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to fair and ethical procurement practices, support the County’s goals for transparency and fiscal responsibility, and foster respectful, professional relationships with both internal stakeholders and external suppliers." - Essential Functions list (many bullet points). We need to put under Responsibilities maybe. - Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with a major in public administration, business administration, purchasing, materials management, engineering, architecture or a related field as determined by the department head at the time of recruitment AND three years of professional procurement experience related to contract writing, administration, or commodity management. (Relevant experience and/or education from an accredited college or university may be substituted.) Or Three years of experience with Pima County in a Buyer III, Contract Specialist or related position as determined by the department head at the time of recruitment. - Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree or higher education in public administration, business administration, supply chain management, finance, or a related field. Minimum three (3) years professional procurement or contracting experience, preferably in a government or large institutional setting. Experience managing formal solicitations (e.g., RFPs, IFBs, RFQs) and drafting, negotiating, or administering contracts. Experience using contract management systems and procurement/ERP platforms (e.g., Oracle, SAP, Workday). - Selection Procedure: description. - Supplemental Information: Licenses and Certificates: Some positions require a valid Arizona Class D driver license at the time of application or appointment. Failure to maintain the required licensure shall be grounds for termination. Special Notice Items: The County requires pre-employment background checks. Successful candidates will receive a post-offer, pre-employment background screening to include verification of work history, education, and criminal conviction history. A prior criminal conviction will not automatically disqualify a candidate from employment with the County. Some positions may require completion of a satisfactory personal background investigation by the court or law enforcement agencies, due to the need for access to County Attorney and Court facilities, records, and communication systems. Pima County determines whether a position is eligible for visa sponsorship at the time of recruitment. Eligibility is based on the requirements of the position and applicable laws and regulations. Not all positions with Pima County are eligible for visa sponsorship. Physical/Sensory Requirements: Physical and sensory requirements will be determined by position. Action Activity - bending and reaching; Motion Activity - simple and firm grasping; Hearing Activity - none; Speaking Activity - in person and on the phone; Vision - operate a motor vehicle. Working Conditions: Working conditions will be determined by position. We need to remove EEO etc. We need to include sections only if there is real specific content. Potential sections: - About the role: could be the paragraph describing role (the description after Pay Range). That is substantive. - Responsibilities: could be the list of essential functions (the bullet list). Also the earlier sentence about responsibilities includes managing end-to-end solicitation process etc. We'll combine. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; but we could infer from responsibilities? However we should not invent. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" section. So we should not create Skills unless there is specific content. There's mention of strong judgment, excellent collaboration skills, ability to work independently. That's in the role description. Could be placed under About the role or Responsibilities. But we could create a Skills section if we have explicit skill list. Not present. So omit Skills. - Benefits: not mentioned. No benefits specifics. So omit Benefits. - Pay: we have Pay Range info. So include Pay section with details. - Schedule: not mentioned. Omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Pay. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them. We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "Do not substitute a resume for your application..."). We need to keep the essential functions list (the bullet points). Those are many; we need to preserve them as list items. We also need to keep the Minimum Qualifications text exactly (or close). We need to keep Preferred Qualifications text. We need to keep Pay details: Hiring Range and Pay Range with explanation. We need to keep the description about role: "The Procurement Officer I position is a professional, salaried position within the Materials & Services Division of the Procurement Department. This role requires strong judgment, excellent collaboration skills, and the ability to work independently with various County departments to develop effective specifications that meet their operational needs. Responsibilities include managing the end-to-end solicitation process, drafting contract documents, and ensuring timely processing for approval and execution by the appropriate awarding authority as well as include the establishment and maintenance of contracts, including amendments and renewals, in accordance with applicable policies, procedures, and procurement codes. The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to fair and ethical procurement practices, support the County’s goals for transparency and fiscal responsibility, and foster respectful, professional relationships with both internal stakeholders and external suppliers." We might also include the initial summary lines: "Department - Procurement Job Description OPEN TO CURRENT PIMA COUNTY EMPLOYEES ONLY Job Type: Classified Job Classification: 5368 - Procurement Officer I Salary Grade: 15". Should we include those? They are substantive metadata. The instruction says do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph at top with that info. Not as heading. Thus we can start with a

  containing: "Department: Procurement. Open to current Pima County employees only. Job Type: Classified. Job Classification: 5368 - Procurement Officer I. Salary Grade: 15." Then sections. Now we need to decide what goes under each section. About the role: Could be the paragraph describing role (the one we quoted). Could also include the initial summary? But we already put summary in a p before sections. So About the role will contain the role description paragraph. Responsibilities: Should contain the essential functions list (the bullet points). Also maybe the earlier sentence about responsibilities (managing end-to-end solicitation process etc.) but that is already in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could keep that sentence in About the role and not repeat. However the essential functions list includes many items that are responsibilities. We'll put them as

  • items. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications text. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications text. Pay: Provide details about Hiring Range and Pay Range with explanation. We must not include sections like Benefits, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we don't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft. First, opening paragraph:

    Department: Procurement. Open to current Pima County employees only. Job Type: Classified. Job Classification: 5368 - Procurement Officer I. Salary Grade: 15.

    Then About the role:
