Incumbents typically report to a State Procurement Manager or the State Procurement Director within the State Division of Purchase and Contract. Work involves the preparation, evaluation, and administration of very complex procurement agreements involving commodities characterized by high technical and administrative complexity. Work involves the procurement of a group of assigned commodities and services for state agencies, institutions, and participating governmental operations under compliance with North Carolina statutes and the rules and regulations of the Division of Purchase and Contract. Work involves writing specifications for invitations for bids; evaluating bids and recommending award to vendors; establishing and maintaining contracts; resolving contract disputes; monitoring vendor performance; interpreting laws and policies to agency personnel and vendors; and conducting market research to stay abreast of changes in technology, source of supply, cost, and quality. Work is performed under the general supervision of a State Procurement Manager or the State Procurement Director and is reviewed through conferences, reports, and completed work assignments.
