• Provide logistics, material, receiving, delivery, property, shipment, and other supply-support information needed to support authorized GSC purchase-order administration and closeout, as well as program and proposal-development activities.
• Apply working knowledge of applicable FAR, DFARS, contractual flow-downs, export-control, cybersecurity and controlled-information, counterfeit-parts avoidance, small-business, and company requirements; identify and promptly refer potential compliance or contractual issues to the appropriate authorized functional personnel.
• Protect company, supplier, customer, proprietary, export-controlled, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with applicable policies, contractual requirements, and authorized systems.
