In support of these operations, the solicitation also includes requirements for a Deputy Systems Manager at the GS-12 level within the Executive Office. This personal services contractor role is tasked with providing critical IT systems support, network administration for LAN and WAN, server management, and software development over a 13-month period of performance. The overall procurement process involves detailed technical proposals and structured budget templates covering long-term and short-term technical assistance, travel, and personnel costs to ensure the successful implementation of Iraq's financial infrastructure goals.
