Key Responsibilities

Maintain Accurate Inventory & Property Records

• Maintain and continuously update a comprehensive inventory of IT assets and personal property in approved systems of record (e.g., Sunflower / NBSC as applicable).
• Ensure strong inventory controls and asset safeguarding in line with federal/departmental guidance and internal control expectations.

Partner with the Property Accountable Officer (PAO) & Strengthen Controls

• Work with the PAO to define and document inventory processes, controls, and audit reconciliation procedures consistent with governing property guidance and organizational business needs.

• Ensure asset records include required data elements (as applicable), such as decal/serial number, manufacturer/model, accountable user, property location, accountable supervisor, cost/custodial coding (for manual additions), and deployment/maintenance information (warranty/lease terms).
• Standardize asset descriptions using the approved property catalog and apply classification attributes such as FSC/OCC, life expectancy, and sensitivity flags as required.

Execute Physical Inventory Cycles & Reconciliation

  • Physical inventory January–September, with monthly metrics delivered to the PAO
  • Annual reconciliation October 1–December 31
• Reconcile overages, shortages, and discrepancies by December 31, providing weekly reporting to the PAO (e.g., shortage/overage, damaged/idle, double decal, survey items found, inventory items found, software license/installation reporting).
