Job Description

Program Overview

About The Role

Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA’s Business, National Airspace, and Technical Computing Services (BNATCS) contract. As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation’s skies safe and connected. 

We’re looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world’s most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration.

At Peraton, you won’t just support the mission — you’ll define it.

Join a team dedicated to protecting the safety and integrity of U.S. air travel. Peraton is seeking a highly skilled Procurement Manager to lead acquisition planning, supplier negotiations, and procurement execution in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This role oversees the end-to-end procurement lifecycle—from sourcing and solicitation through award and closeout—ensuring compliance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS), Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and internal corporate policies. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of federal contracting principles, supplier performance management, and cost control to support mission-critical aviation programs.

In this position, you will:

  • Support the development, review, and processing of procurement documents, including RFIs, RFPs, and Statements of Work (SOWs).
  • Conduct market research, cost/price analyses, and vendor assessments to support acquisition strategies.
  • Monitor contract execution and performance, ensuring deliverables and milestones are met.
  • Assist with the preparation of procurement reports, financial analyses, and compliance documentation.
  • Track and analyze procurement metrics to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Coordinate with program managers, procurement managers, and vendors to resolve contract or funding issues.
  • Ensure all procurement activities comply with FAR, DFARS, and FAA AMS guidelines.
  • Maintain accurate and organized records for audits, reviews, and leadership reporting.
  • Provide administrative and analytical support for budgeting, forecasting, and procurement planning.

Why This Role Matters

The FAA is the cornerstone of aviation safety and innovation. As the Procurement Manager, you ensure that every dollar spent supports aviation safety, system innovation, and mission success. Your leadership enables the FAA to maintain accountability, optimize resources, and drive results across programs that safeguard the National Airspace System (NAS ) and support the agency’s long-term transformation efforts.
