Lead Price & Proposal Analyst – Evaluation & Negotiation Support

We’re hiring the lead price and proposal analyst supporting a high-priority DoD program office at Eglin AFB. This is the government-side evaluation seat: you analyze the price proposals that contractors submit, develop the program’s negotiation positions, and act as the central coordination point for every proposal that comes into the program — tracking, routing, and shepherding each one through evaluation to award.

We’re specifically looking for someone who has led price proposals from the industry side — at a prime or supplier — and can bring that insider perspective to evaluating them on behalf of the government.

This is a high-visibility role on a significant national-defense program, based on Florida’s Emerald Coast — Destin-area beaches, no state income tax, and a close-knit defense community.

• U.S. Citizen
• Able to attain a Top Secret Security Clearance
• Able to attain SAP accesses
• 12+ years managing and writing proposals for industry
• 5+ years leading proposals for industry

• Highly experienced with Pro Pricer
• Working knowledge of FAR/DFARS, especially Part 15 and FAR 15.404 price/proposal analysis techniques
• Strong Excel modeling and quantitative analysis skills

• Evaluate contractor price proposals for reasonableness, completeness, and realism using price and proposal analysis techniques (FAR 15.404)
• Develop the government’s pre‑negotiation objectives and negotiation positions; support the contracting officer through fact‑finding and negotiations
• Serve as the single point of coordination and intake for all proposals entering the program — track status, route to technical and contracting evaluators, and drive timelines to award
• Review and assess bases of estimate (BOEs), labor and material estimates, and proposed rates
• Prepare and support price negotiation documentation (e.g., PNM inputs) and weighted‑guidelines profit analysis
• Coordinate with DCAA, DCMA, technical evaluators, and contracting throughout source selection and negotiation
• Compare proposals against the independent Government estimate (IGCE) and identify key price drivers and risk

• Experience on major weapons‑system, missile, or strategic programs
• Familiarity with weighted guidelines, IGCE development, and PNM preparation
• Exposure to DCAA audit findings and DCMA coordination
• Experience as a proposal coordination or evaluation lead across multiple concurrent actions
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or related field

• A lead role with real influence on a significant active defense program
• Emerald Coast living — beaches, affordable living, no state income tax
• A stable, mission‑driven team in a secure environment at Eglin AFB

This position is located on Florida’s Emerald Coast, at Eglin AFB, offering beaches, no state income tax, and a close-knit defense community.

The contract is a four‑year term with funding provided annually and options.
