- I process procurement requests that are received by Code 1071 via the Material Management Tracking System (MMTS) tool.
- I review the request, perform any additional research required, enter it into Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (N-ERP), ensure that appropriate approvers are added, and follow the PR through the approval process.
- In addition to my proficiency in N-ERP, I am an experienced user of other government tools necessary for processing PRs; including MMTS.
- Government procurement tasking requires a high level of understanding of federal, NAVSEA, and local NUWCDIVNPT business rules and regulations.
- I am well-versed in current procurement protocols and stay on top of evolving guidelines.
- My experience and attention to detail have resulted in my long-term maintenance of a low PR rejection rate.
- This requires not just an extensive knowledge of the PR process but also an enhanced level of resourcefulness, as it is requiring additional communication and coordination with leadership both internal to Code 1071 and in the departments.
- I am required to coordinate approval with the relevant approvers and ensure that the PR moves through the N-ERP system swiftly, keeping the requestor and necessary leadership within Code 1071 in the loop.
- Requestors appreciate how I will take the extra step to keep them updated on urgent requests and I frequently turn these PRs around same-day.
- I process approximately 25-30 standard MILSTRIP PRs per week.
- The number of MILSTRIP requests fluctuates based on need.
- I also process the 4PL MILSTRIP PR’s, working with Grainger/GSA, which like standard MILSTRIPS, the number fluctuates week to week based on need.
- In addition to my MILSTRIP PR Support tasking, I am also tasked with processing MILSBILLS requests, which are special procurement actions for TW Metals and the Noble Corp.
- Additionally, I have an ongoing action to investigate and close out old, stagnant PRs so that funds can post back to the ERP line of accounting for reuse by the program or return to the sponsor.
- I am also tasked to train the new employees in all MILSTRIP processes.
