Administrative Support Division Front Office (ASD) (contd)

The ASD Front Office consists of three federal employees that require support through the

BOSS contract: the ASD Director, the ASD Deputy Director, and a Senior Advisor.

Though a Deputy Director has been recently added to the Front Office, it is not envisioned

that BOSS contractor support would increase beyond its current and historical two
contractor FTE.

Noteworthy: BOSS contractor support to the ASD FO is not limited to the FO. For example,
the following are ASD FO support functions that will, at times, support the ASD Branch
Chiefs:

Meeting and meeting space coordination (calendar management)
Travel management support (itinerary, travel authorization and voucher preparation)
Policy and process improvement analyses
Emergent ASD-wide initiatives

oversight, compliance, guidance, and support for all S&T laboratories and facilities in the
areas of occupational safety and health; explosives and radiation safety; environmental

Business Readiness and Support Office (BRSO) (contd)

Planning, Management, & Budget (PMB) Branch: is the centralized acquisition, budget,
contracts, finance, and procurement arm of ASD. PMB manages the S&Ts Records
Management program. PMB primarily works with its ASD & S&T-customer POCs to help
them plan, budget, and execute funds and manage records.

Business Readiness Support Office (BRSO) (contd)

Historically, BRSO needed 23 full-time contractors and 25 surge/reach-back support

contractors to fulfill BRSOs broad range of mission demands and requirements.

As an example, given the breadth of BRSOs mission, the type of contractors S&T needs
will range from administrative generalists and business support staff (e.g., receptionists,
office supplies procurement and management staff, property asset support staff) to
technical subject matter experts (e.g., records management, industrial hygienist to
support a safety audit, real property specialist to support a facility condition assessment).

BRSO requires contractors who are highly customer service focused, employ a self starter
mindset, and are experienced in problem solving; data analysis; MS office suite; Adobe;
and CAD software knowledge (for facility/move management job functions).
