About the Role

The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) mandates independent cost estimates for legacy programs every five years as part of Sustainment Reviews. The Air Force Cost Analysis Agency (AFCAA) periodically conducts independent cost estimates and non-advocate cost assessments (NACAs) of Operations and Support costs to inform acquisition decisions. NACAs are similar to independent cost estimates in terms of scope, function, and expectations. This position requires cost estimating professionals with specific knowledge and experience in technical and cost analysis. The expertise, skills, and abilities of the selected candidate are critical for the success of the task order at each experience level. Required deliverables include independent cost estimates, complete with supporting documentation and briefings for the Cost Review Board, as well as post-product support and drills when necessary. Deliverables must include an Excel cost model, a PowerPoint briefing summarizing the estimate using the AFCAA / FMCY division template, and Word documentation as required. The Journeyman Cost Estimator will also support necessary product reviews before the Cost Review Board, according to a schedule determined by the government, and provide all draft models and documentation upon request. Additional Responsibilities Include, but are not Limited To :

• Demonstrated progressive experience in cost analysis principles and concepts
• Experience in major weapon systems procurement, as well as operations and support cost estimating
• Proficient in statistical analysis, cost risk, and uncertainty modeling
• Experience in budget formulation, affordability analysis, and cost-benefit analysis
