Responsibilities

Catalog & Technical Documentation Administrator

 

This role supports a DoD contract where products are catalogued against a defined contractual structure, including Contract Line Item Numbers and Subline Item Numbers (CLINs/SLINs), before they can be quoted, purchased, delivered, or renewed.
