Protect our Land, Ascend with Us!

Ascension is seeking a Policy and Working Group Analyst to support a potential U.S. Marine Corps iNFADS professional services engagement. The selected candidate will provide technical research, policy review, analysis, meeting support, and documentation support related to real property inventory, facilities, asset management, and supporting systems that use real property information.

This role is important because the customer requires contractor support to review changes to law, regulation, policy, directives, and procedural documents; support working groups; analyze possible impacts to real property management processes; and help document technical findings for Government review. The PWS makes clear that contractor support is technical and advisory only; the contractor will not vote, speak for the Government, draft discretionary policy, or make Government decisions. The role supports the broader iNFADS objective of improving the customer’s ability to manage, analyze, and use real property information across Marine Corps operations.

Summary of Contractor Role

The Policy and Working Group Analyst will support Task 2 and Task 4 of the PWS by helping the customer understand policy, procedural, and system-related changes that affect real property inventory reporting and related facilities processes. The ideal candidate will be a detail-oriented analyst who can read and summarize policy materials, compare requirements across documents, support working groups, prepare meeting notes and action items, and develop concise analysis that helps Government stakeholders make informed decisions.

The candidate should be comfortable working in an environment where the requirements are driven by ad hoc Government requests, working group schedules, and policy or system changes. This role requires strong judgment, professional writing, the ability to work with limited supervision, and the discipline to avoid making policy decisions on behalf of the Government. The PWS requires ad hoc request and working group support within two business days, and deliverables may be provided by email, MS Word, or MS Excel based on COR direction.

Expected Day-to-Day / Recurring Activities

• Review changes to real property law, DoW policy, DON policy, USMC policy, directives, and procedural documents.
• Summarize policy or procedural changes for Government review and follow-on action.
• Support DON, DoW, USMC, and NITC-related working groups involving real property asset management.
• Prepare data, analysis, issue summaries, meeting notes, and possible impact statements for working group discussions.
• Document working group action items, decisions, risks, dependencies, and follow-up items.
• Provide technical input on proposed Marine Corps policy and procedural documents without speaking for or representing the Government.
• Support ad hoc questions related to real property inventory, facilities planning, military construction, sustainment, restoration, modernization, and related systems.
• Coordinate with project staff and technical SMEs to gather facts, validate assumptions, and prepare accurate responses.
• Develop concise Word, Excel, and email-based deliverables that fully address the COR’s request.
• Support monthly status reporting by documenting assigned tasks, completed deliverables, issues, planned work, and working group activity.
• Participate in MS Teams meetings, technical discussions, and collaboration sessions as required.
• Track risks, open issues, action items, and response timelines to ensure the team meets PWS performance standards.
