We fulfill the Quality Assurance Program Coordinator role for contracts signed by AMIC’s Contracting Officers. We provide the Quality Assurance Program (QAP); how contract surveillance will be scheduled, conducted, documented, and reported. We provide training to Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) and their supervision on their roles and responsibilities for executing the QAP. We also fulfill some Functional Commander/Functional Director roles on AMIC’s most complex and critical programs, where the technical risks of the requirements necessitate compliance with a higher-level quality system per the FAR. On these programs, AMIC’s preferred approach is to own the CORs; we nominate and supervise the CORs and manage/lead QAP execution. Lastly, we are the AMIC Contracting Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) focal point, where we initiate contracts and reporting teams into the system and provide management oversight for report timeliness, completeness, and accuracy.
We are located in beautiful Coastal Virginia in the Hampton Roads area where there’s much to see and do year-round. The weather is beautiful with a climate that truly experiences the four seasons. Joint-Base Langley-Eustis is located on a peninsula, surrounded by the James & York Rivers, as well as the Chesapeake Bay. Those that like the outdoors will have their fill of fishing and watersports. You can find exhilarating skiing and hiking in Appalachia and beach getaways to Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks within a two-hour drive. History abounds in the colonial area of Williamsburg and the National Parks at Yorktown Battlefield (site of the British surrender to conclude the war for Independence) and Jamestown Settlement (site of the first settlement in the United States). The state’s capital, Richmond, and Norfolk both provide big city amenities like concerts, shows, and international airports within an hour. With many military installations (Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Army, and Air Force) in a dense geographic area, the economy is resilient and growing. Many retiring military members choose to make Hampton Roads their forever home.
