Protect our Land, Ascend with Us!

Ascension is seeking a senior iNFADS / Real Property Database Subject Matter Expert to support Marine Corps Installations Command’s use of the internet Naval Facilities Data Store, the Department of the Navy’s real property accountable property system of record. The PWS states that the effort supports USMC real property inventory oversight, audit readiness, database management, data extraction, systems access support, systems training, help desk support, policy technical review, liaison with the software operator, and program support to system users.

This role is intended for a candidate who understands real property inventory, facilities data, property accountability, data validation, system functionality, and the practical needs of federal users who rely on authoritative real property data. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience supporting iNFADS or closely related DoD real property, facilities, installation management, or accountable property systems. This is a senior role because the customer requires both functional real property knowledge and technical database/system support to help USMC define, quantify, add, modify, delete, analyze, and report real property data for capitalization, maintenance, design, modification, security, and audit requirements.

Summary of the Contractor Role

The iNFADS / Real Property Database SME will provide specialized support across real property database oversight, data extraction, analysis, policy/process technical review, working group support, system change coordination, programmatic support, and training. The role supports USMC’s ability to fully use iNFADS across real property operations, including data calls, audit-related data validation, sustainment reporting, disposal reporting, facility condition information, mission dependency data, physical inventory cycle uploads, and asset evaluation data support.

The selected candidate should be detail-oriented, self-driven, organized, responsive, and able to work with limited day-to-day direction. The candidate must be comfortable interpreting customer requests, validating data, developing practical approaches for extracting and using iNFADS data, explaining system functionality to users, supporting real property policy/process discussions, and coordinating with technical and government stakeholders. The PWS also requires interaction with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Information Technology Center regarding iNFADS, including monthly NITC Teams calls and support for system change requests.

Expected Day-to-Day / Recurring Activities

• Support USMC real property asset database oversight and management in iNFADS.
• Collect requested iNFADS data to support analysis of construction, leasing, capital improvement, maintenance, sustainment, disposal, and related real property activities.
• Input USMC-provided iNFADS-designated data, including Facility Condition Index, Mission Dependency Index, Physical Inventory Cycle, and Asset Evaluation data.
• Develop and implement data extraction and utilization approaches in coordination with the COR or designated government representatives.
• Validate, reconcile, and correct iNFADS data discrepancies from internal sources, external sources, audit findings, special studies, or user-identified anomalies.
• Analyze iNFADS system changes, test new functionality, and provide feedback on impacts to USMC users and real property operations.
• Prepare reports, data extracts, correspondence, and analysis using Microsoft Office-compatible formats.
• Respond to ad hoc iNFADS data and real property information requests involving plant replacement value, facility condition data, measurements, square footage, and other quantitative asset information.
• Compile and summarize changes to real property laws, DoD/DoW, DON, USMC policies, directives, and procedural documents for government review.
• Support real property working groups with administrative and technical data analysis, including category code updates, real property reporting policy updates, and system-related process changes.
• Participate in NITC coordination calls and support iNFADS change request discussions.
• Provide SME input to Marine Corps systems and processes that rely on real property information, including facilities planning, military construction, sustainment, restoration, modernization, MAXIMO, and related systems.
• Support annual iNFADS training planning, course material updates, course evaluation forms, training delivery support, and training trip reports.
• Deliver technical information in a clear, accurate, professional, and non-policy-making role; the contractor may provide technical support but does not speak for the Government.
