Job description

ASI Government provides government leaders with the expertise they need to navigate acquisition and organizational challenges so they can make an impact and achieve their goals. For over 30years, ASI has transformed the way government does business, impacting over70government agencies across the civilian, defense, and intelligence communities.

Do you thrive on creating unique and impactful value for Federal clients? Are you passionate about partnering with clients and collaborating to create solutions? Do you enjoy the opportunity to drive change that impacts our nation?

We are looking for smart, curious, driven individuals to join us in partnering with our client to help them solve some of the nation’s most challenging problems. ASI Government serves as a trusted adviser to government leaders seeking improved performance, enhanced organization effectiveness, and strategic change.

ASI Government is building a team of Other Transaction (OT) and Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) practitioners to support NAVSUP’s new acquisition innovation pilot office in Norfolk, Virginia. 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.
