  Procurement Analyst, Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) Group

  As a DCMA CPSR Procurement Analyst, I was the “Team lead” for nearly 15 DCMA CPSRs in the last 3 years and served as the procurement analyst in nearly 15 additional reviews during the same time period. I have performed CPSR reviews for the Government on some of the largest defense contractors ranging from A&E service contractors to foreign manufacturers. In addition to large firms I have lead reviews on small business concerns, to include Ability One Program participants. During my tenure as a DCMA CPSR Group Procurement Analyst, I developed a tool for use by all CPSR Group procurement analysts (for all four CPSR Teams) in performing CPSRs. I also developed a tool that all DCMA Administrative Contracting Officers (ACO) are currently required to use in their annual surveillance of contractor purchasing systems responsibilities. I was personally selected by the DCMA CPSR Director to represent the Phoenix CPSR Team at the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) World Congress (2015). Show less
