Xl Associates Work Values

Daily Duties at Xl Associates:

I was responsible for closing 30 contracts per month. The types of contracts that were closed were Fixed Price, Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Labor Hour (LH), Time and Materials (TM), Simplified Acquisition, BPA's and IDIQ contract orders. Responsibilities included contacting the vendor to confirm contact and financial information. A Contract Certification and Contract Release form was e-mailed to the vendor. The deadline to receive these completed forms was two weeks from the date of the e-mail. The COR was also contacted with a COR Certification form. The deadline for receipt of this form was one week. Once the signed closeout forms are received, the closeout packet is put together for the Program Director's approval. Once approved the closeout packet is delivered to our COR for final approval. The order is then closed in PRISM, DCIS and UFMS. The signed closeout paperwork is uploaded in PRISM before closing out. When the closeout process is complete, the file is boxed and sent to the Federal Records Center. The files are separated by obligated amount. Contract files that were $150,000.00 or less were boxed by 3 years or less. Contract files that had an obligated amount of more than $150,000.00 were boxed by a date of 3 months/6 years.

What they like about Xl Associates:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
