GSA OCAS - Executive Administrative Assistant - MRAS

The General Services Administration (GSA), on behalf of the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS), is conducting market research to identify capabilities related to providing executive administrative support services for the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (GCERC). The GCERC's mission is to manage and allocate RESTORE ACT funding for large-scale ecosystem restoration projects across the Gulf Coast, a response to the environmental impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. This effort requires coordination among various state and federal partners, with a focus on both local operations in New Orleans and broader regional engagements.

The GSA seeks a contractor to provide an Executive Administrative Assistant who will support the Executive Director of GCERC. This role involves managing the executive calendar, providing comprehensive executive support, and handling various administrative tasks essential for office operations. Key responsibilities include overseeing daily office functions, managing travel arrangements for the Executive Director, acting as a liaison in communications with external entities, organizing office operations through efficient standard operating procedures, controlling correspondence, designing record filing systems, reviewing supply requisitions, and assigning clerical functions.

To fulfill these requirements effectively, candidates should possess qualifications comparable to a GS-12 level in federal service. The contractor must provide personnel with at least a Bachelor's degree in office administration or a related field and a minimum of two years' experience as an executive assistant. The role demands high-level analytical skills and specialized support capabilities to assist senior management with delegated matters while maintaining confidentiality and exercising sound judgment.

The scope of work outlined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) emphasizes providing full-time executive support at 40 hours per week. The contractor's personnel will be expected to coordinate implementation procedures related to administrative specialties while prioritizing special projects and complex assignments that require initiative and diplomatic interaction with diverse stakeholders from federal and state agencies.
