Full Job Description
Position overview
Info Gain Consulting (IGC) is seeking a Federal Acquisition and Requirements Analyst to provide vendor-neutral acquisition-planning and requirements-analysis support for an advisory engagement serving a federal law-enforcement and intelligence customer. You will translate operational needs, OSINT capability gaps, and technology-pilot evidence into measurable, testable, and traceable requirements and into Government-reviewable acquisition documentation, including performance work statements and statements of work.
This federal acquisition role supports market research, Government-led industry engagement, evaluation-criteria development, and transition and sustainment planning, with procurement integrity and vendor neutrality at its center. The Analyst may draft, analyze, facilitate, and recommend, while all acquisition, source-selection, award, and funding decisions remain with authorized Government officials.
Key responsibilities
  • Facilitate requirements elicitation with Government stakeholders to capture operational needs, use cases, constraints, and interfaces.
  • Translate operational needs into clear, measurable, testable technical and performance requirements.
  • Maintain requirements traceability from mission need through requirement, performance measure, evaluation criterion, pilot evidence, and acquisition document.
  • Draft and update performance work statements, statements of work, technical requirements, and acquisition-planning inputs for Government review.
  • Conduct vendor-neutral market research and summarize solution capabilities, maturity, common pricing approaches, gaps, and trade-offs.
  • Support Government-led requests for information, sources-sought notices, and industry days by drafting materials and response summaries.
  • Draft measurable evaluation factors and criteria aligned to approved requirements.
  • Convert pilot findings, limitations, and operational-suitability results into refined requirements and acquisition-planning inputs.
  • Develop transition and sustainment inputs addressing readiness, integration, licensing, training, technology refresh, and total-cost considerations.
  • Apply organizational-conflict-of-interest, procurement-integrity, and vendor-neutrality controls to all acquisition-support activities.

Required qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in acquisition, contracting, business, public administration, engineering, systems engineering, information systems, intelligence studies, or a related field; four additional years of directly relevant experience may substitute for the degree.
  • At least 6 years in federal acquisition support, requirements analysis, market research, systems acquisition, or procurement analysis.
  • Demonstrated experience drafting or materially supporting PWSs, SOWs, technical requirements, evaluation criteria, or market research reports.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate operational needs into measurable, testable requirements and maintain traceability.
  • Working knowledge of federal acquisition roles, procurement integrity, organizational conflicts of interest, and inherently governmental boundaries.
  • Experience conducting objective, vendor-neutral market research and summarizing technical and commercial trade-offs.
  • Strong analytical writing, document-development, facilitation, and briefing skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, and requirements or document-tracking tools.

Preferred qualifications
  • Experience supporting DHS, CBP, another federal law-enforcement or intelligence organization, or a comparable mission environment.
  • Experience acquiring or evaluating commercial data services, SaaS platforms, sensors, analytics, AI-enabled capabilities, or emerging technology.
  • Experience translating pilot, prototype, test-and-evaluation, or operational-assessment findings into acquisition requirements.
  • FAC-C, DAWIA, CFCM, CPCM, or comparable acquisition credential.
  • Familiarity with lifecycle cost, licensing, technology refresh, sustainment, Section 508, privacy, cybersecurity, and supply-chain considerations.
