About the Role:

The expertise, skills, and abilities of the selected candidate are critical for the success of the task order at each experience level. Required deliverables include independent cost estimates, complete with supporting documentation and briefings for the Cost Review Board, as well as post-product support and drills when necessary.
Deliverables must include an Excel cost model, a PowerPoint briefing summarizing the estimate using the AFCAA/FMCY division template, and Word documentation as required.
