Major Duties:
BASIC REQUIREMENTS. A 4-year course of study leading to a bachelor’s degree, that included or
was supplemented by at least 24 semester hours in any combination of the following fields:
accounting, business, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management,
marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management TRANSCRIPTS MUST BE
ATTACHED TO RESUME.
KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES (KSAs): Below are listed the KSA’s for this position. Each applicant must
address each KSA individually in paragraph format by explaining any civilian and military work experience (with
dates) that provided the KSA. These comments must be addressed in the order that they appear below and
attached to the application when applying for the position. Failure to address KSA Statement and failure to submit
college transcripts will result in your application not being considered for employment.
1. Knowledge of contracting principles and procedures applicable to pre award and post award actions.
Placing products out to bid is my specialty in purchasing.
I was Purchasing Specialist for close to ten years and did perform duties of contracting out bids pre-
award and post-award actions. The amount of contract bids varied from the type of contract,
amount and time that the contract bid went out for. It could be as simple as one specialized $500
bolt to a $500,000.00 machine that would drill out ceramic, to 3 million dollars worth of capacitors
for building electric household motors with multiple drawings for numerous capacitors, for reverse
auctions for AO Smith.
All bids went out with the necessary documentation for a supplier to make a good decision on the
cost of manufacturing or completing their task.
For AK Steel I completed one huge contract that contained 3,0000 parts that took one year of my
spare time to bring to completion. I also completed 5 smaller bid processes during eighteen months
of employment.
Complexity for all bids varies according to the volume and the detail of the part/parts or nature of
the product.
Most of the time my bids were placed solely by myself. During the employment of AO Smith I
worked with a team of 3 assistant buyers that collected the data and made it available for
contractors and 6 Buyers that assisted me in their knowledge of the products. I supervised 3
previously completed auctions to completion of the transfer to the new contractor and performed 3
more reverse auctions with contract negotiations in a six month time period.
2 Ability to resolve contractual problems relating to cost adjustments, delivery schedules and to
negotiate on-site.
I have performed these duties as well during my ten years of Purchasing for large manufacturing
facilities. Again this is not always a simple task. Product knowledge and
Availability is key to a successful negotiation. I have tried to reduce my cost with companies that
were one of a kind with a unique product. Even though I did not get what I thought was a significant
savings the company did reduce their pricing and
was willing to work with me on low volume orders.
Some cost adjustments if due to error were not negotiable from my standpoint.
As far as delivery issues, product knowledge and manufacturing timing is key to success. Giving
reasonable time tables are essential to not having delivery issues. Knowing the production process
as well as product knowledge of the product your bidding out is essential. With both these skills I
have never shut down a production line and always maintained on time deliveries.

3. Knowledge of cost and price procedures and techniques.
I’m not sure what you mean by this question. However, all purchasing departments have procedures
in the costing and pricing of products. I have analyzed bids from over 3,000 parts (for eight bidding
companies) to just one part and the process is can be extremely complex if manually performed or
instantaneous if computerized programs are used, to
as simple as comparing the numbers.
4. Knowledge of contract termination procedures, technical evaluations, and contractor claims.
Contract Termination procedures, technical evaluations and Contractor claims were all a part of my duties as a
Buyer and Senior Buyer for eight years of my Contracting /Purchasing duties. One must follow contract guidelines
if a contract is in force for termination technical evaluations or contractor claims. If there was no contract in place, I
don’t ever recall an issue that a company was not able to
solve for me in my companies favor. The only time that my companies did have issues was when illegal practices
were discovered.
5. Ability to write reports and correspondence in clear, concise language.
I provided written weekly reports on my purchasing and contracting performance goals.
I have also updated and provided procedures on the intranet for a couple of my employers.
With my first purchasing position I won the award from the government bid for a van for people that have mental
disabilities.
6. Skill in dealing with others in a work relationship to present information orally and in written
form.
My work relationships were very good among my peers and co-workers. They knew that they could
depend on me to provide them with excellent support that they required.
Oral presentations were provided on a weekly to monthly basis to Vice Presidents and the CEO of the
company. Weekly to daily meetings were used to communicate updates on purchasing issues and
bidding processes within the purchasing department to within specialized bidding processes. Email
correspondence was used for most frequently for written communication. Time management skills
were necessary to implement when written communication was over abundant.
