Closeout Specialist — VA Acquisition Support

Metrics LLC provides acquisition and program support to federal agencies. We have been awarded a contract supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs Enterprise Procurement Office, and we are adding a Contract Closeout Specialist to the team. This is a fully remote, full-time position.

You will work a queue of VA contracts that are ready for closeout and carry each one from first action to final signature. Each month the team takes on a set number of new closeouts and is measured on completing them within 60 days, so this role suits someone who is organized, works steadily through a caseload, and follows up until a file is closed.

• Initiate and complete closeouts for firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, and other contract types in accordance with FAR 4.804 and VA policy.
• Confirm final invoices are paid, reconcile remaining balances, and prepare de-obligation modifications (SF 30) for unliquidated funds.
• Request and track releases of claims, contract completion statements, and other required documents from vendors and Contracting Officers.
• Update data in the VA's Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), tag documents to the contract file, and correct FPDS records as needed.
• Review obligation history and invoice status in VA financial systems (FMS, IPPS, IFCAP).
• Keep your closeout register current and contribute to the monthly Closeout Report.
• Support weekend coverage during the fiscal year-end surge (last two weeks of September and first week of October).

• Associate's degree or higher.
• At least 4 years of federal contracting experience, including hands-on contract closeout.
• Working knowledge of the FAR, including closeout timelines and procedures.
• Experience with at least one federal contract writing or financial system (eCMS, PRISM, PD2/SPS, FPDS, IFCAP, FMS, or similar).
• Strong written communication and the discipline to manage a high-volume caseload against deadlines.
• U.S. based, with a reliable high-speed internet connection.
• Must be able to pass a VA background investigation and complete VA security and privacy training before starting.
• One trip to Frederick, MD or Fredericksburg, VA to pick up a government laptop.

• Prior VA contracting experience, especially in eCMS or IFCAP.
• Experience with de-obligations, quick closeouts, and zero-dollar closeouts.
• FAC-C or DAWIA contracting certification.

$45,000 to $50,000 per year. Full-time employees receive medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, 15 days of paid time off, and 11 paid federal holidays.
