Title - Contract Administrator specialist
Hybrid role, candidate MUST be local to Metro Atlanta
Overview
Within the new Office of Contract Administration (OCA), each team will include
Contract Admin Specialists (CAS). The CAS will be responsible for utilizing the
newly implemented contract management system to verify compliance with all
required administrative components of proposed contracts. Compliance components
the CAS will be responsible for reviewing and validating include the
following(depending on the nature of the contract):
* Validation of approval by appropriate budget office;
* Inclusion & validation of System for Award Management (SAM) verification (if
applicable);
* Inclusion & validation of registration/compliance with the Secretary of State
verification (if applicable);
* Inclusion & validation of current Certification of Insurance that meets the
minimum insurance policy coverage limits;
* Inclusion & validation of current notarized Security and Immigration
Affidavit (E-Verify Form);
* Inclusion of completed Pre-Award Risk Assessment or OIG Financial Review;
* Inclusion of W-9 Form;
* Inclusion & validation of Tax Compliance Form and clearance from the Georgia
Department of Revenue;
* Inclusion & validation of current Corporate Resolution;
* Validation of authorized signer and approver information;
* Validation of V5 information submitted;
* Confirmation of Vendor Enrollment or Validation by OFS; and,
* Utilization of accurate data for requisition creation (to be completed by the
CAS).
If corrections are needed to any of the administrative compliance components,
the CAS will be responsible for communicating those changes to requesting office
representative(s) within the system and tracking those updates until the
contract is fully cleared to advance to subsequent stages of the process.
Additionally, for executed contracts that will have invoices paid by the DHS
Accounts Payable team, the CAS will be responsible for creating the requisition
for the contract within TeamWorks. All information needed for requisition
creation will be provided and verified at previous stages of the contracting
process. If all required administrative components were submitted by the
requesting office initially, the requisition creation can be completed
immediately after validating all components. If there are components that need
to be addressed (apart from funding anomalies), the requisition can be created
while those components are being rectified by the requesting office and/or
vendor to allow the contract to continue to advance once fully validated.
Once the contract advances, the CAS will be responsible for tracking the
contract to ensure any required additional reviews (internal or external) are
completed and documented in the system and that the contract is cleared to be
routed for signature.
The CAS will be responsible for completing similar tasks to facilitate the
processing of amendments, extensions, or renewals during the life or end term of
contracts, if applicable.
