micro1 is engaging Contract Specialists to contribute expert federal procurement insights and contract management expertise to a customer’s project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. This opportunity is ideal for individuals with a deep understanding of the federal acquisition lifecycle who can navigate pre-award and post-award procedures, draft comprehensive statements of work, and conduct detailed proposal analyses in fast-paced environments.

Scope of Work

• Source public-domain procurement documents (PWS, SOW, IGCE, solicitations, proposal evaluations, and protest decisions) and use them to build realistic, everyday contracting tasks for testing AI models.

• Run these tasks against various AI models, then monitor, score, and compare their performance on accuracy, FAR compliance, and practical usefulness.

• Develop and review PWS, SOW, and IGCE samples for complex federal procurements to serve as benchmarks and reference answers.

• Evaluate AI outputs across the full contract life cycle, including pre-award planning, solicitation, negotiation, and post-award administration.

• Provide written and verbal feedback on model outputs and procurement documents, with actionable recommendations for improving model performance and process quality.

• Apply real-world contracting expertise to annotate, review, and refine procurement-related data used to train and evaluate AI-driven models.

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of direct federal contracting experience, including GS-1102 or comparable procurement roles.

• Demonstrated proficiency in contract negotiation, proposal evaluation, and acquisition planning within the federal sector.

• Advanced knowledge of the FAR and relevant agency-specific regulations.

• Hands-on experience preparing PWS/SOW, IGCE, and related procurement artifacts.

• Proven ability to draft clear, defensible responses to protests and procurement challenges.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail and accuracy.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, managing multiple priorities effectively.
