Ability to travel to and from Norfolk VA is required

ASI Government is building a team of Other Transaction (OT) and Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) practitioners to support NAVSUP’s new acquisition innovation unit. This is hands-on, ground-floor work: you will sit shoulder-to-shoulder with NAVSUP contracting officers and program personnel on live requirements, helping the Navy move faster and get capability into the hands of the fleet by using flexible, non-FAR acquisition pathways where they make sense. Two OT/CSO Execution SMEs are needed to embed with the pilot office and help prove out this new capability from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work directly with NAVSUP contracting officers and program personnel on real, active requirements.
• Help determine when an OT, a CSO, or another non-FAR approach is the right acquisition vehicle for a given requirement.
• Develop CSO solicitations, evaluation approaches, agreements, and supporting documentation.
• Provide hands-on guidance across the full agreement lifecycle: solicitation, evaluation, negotiation, award, and administration.
• Capture lessons learned from the Norfolk pilot to inform NAVSUP’s broader OT/CSO capability and the institutional guidance being built at NAVSUP Headquarters.
• Serve as a trusted, on-the-ground advisor as NAVSUP works through real acquisition challenges in real time.

Required:

• Demonstrated hands-on experience executing Other Transaction Agreements and/or Commercial Solutions Openings — tactical execution experience, not solely policy-level or academic knowledge.
• Working familiarity with the statutory basis for OT and CSO authority and their implementing guidance.
• Experience supporting the full acquisition lifecycle, from solicitation development through award and post-award administration.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; comfortable working directly with contracting officers, program managers, and technical stakeholders in a fast-moving environment.
• Active Secret clearance required at time of hire.
• Ability to work onsite at the Naval Shipyard in Norfolk, VA.

Preferred:

• Experience with other non-FAR acquisition approaches (e.g., Broad Agency Announcements, SBIR/STTR, cooperative agreements).
• DAWIA Contracting certification (or equivalent), FAC-C, or FAC-COR credentials.
• Prior experience supporting Navy or NAVSUP acquisition programs.
• Experience helping stand up or pilot a new acquisition capability within a government organization.

Why Join ASI Government?

• Get in on the ground floor of a new acquisition capability that will directly speed the delivery of capability to the fleet.
• Work on high-impact, high-visibility projects that improve government services.
• Collaborate with experienced consultants in strategy, analytics, and organizational development.
• Opportunity for career growth in a dynamic and mission-driven environment.
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package (viewable on our careers site).
