    • Perform MILCON program analysis and generate trend, compliance, and requirements presentation materials and reports.
    • Draft, coordinate, validate, review, analyze, and submit completed packages for action and implement business redirection/change management actions to enhance planning processes and programs.
  • Stakeholder Engagement & Training:
    • Coordinate with MAJCOMs, industry partners, and DoD stakeholders to identify opportunities for progressive design-build and OTA utilization.
    • Engage nontraditional defense contractors, small businesses, and research institutions, ensuring compliance with participation requirements (e.g., cost-sharing).
