Catalog & Technical Documentation Administrator

Responsibilities This Catalog & Technical Documentation Administrator role supports a DoD contract where products are catalogued against a strict contractual structure (CLIN/SLIN hierarchy) before they can be quoted, purchased, delivered, or renewed. The Catalog Document Control Administrator is the technical steward of that catalog: they research vendor product documentation, validate that proposed items fit the technical scope of their assigned contract line, and prepare the controlled catalog records that Finance, the Buyer, Asset Management, and Logistics all rely on downstream. This is a hands-on technical catalog role, not a records-clerk role. The person in this seat is expected to read vendor datasheets and licensing documents, reason about hardware vs. software, perpetual vs. subscription, and recurring vs. one-time cost, and defend the catalog's technical accuracy against audit.
