Makwa Global LLC - Alternate Contractor Program Manager (CPM)

The Alternate Contractor Program Manager (ACPM) serves as the fully qualified and Government-approved backup to the Contractor Program Manager (CPM) for the SPAS Subject Matter Expert (SME) Course Instructors Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).

The ACPM is responsible for ensuring uninterrupted program execution, continuity of leadership, and sustained quality of performance during any period when the CPM is unavailable.

The ACPM possesses equivalent authority, qualifications, and operational knowledge as the CPM and is capable of assuming full responsibility for daily contract operations, Government coordination, instructor oversight, and quality control activities without degradation to performance.

The ACPM is not a passive backup.

This role is a risk-mitigation control for the Government—ensuring leadership continuity, schedule integrity, and instructional quality across hundreds of courses annually.

A strong ACPM materially reduces operational risk, strengthens evaluator confidence, and directly supports sustained mission delivery.

• Serve as the acting Program Manager in the absence of the CPM, with full authority to act for the Contractor on all daily contract matters.
• Interface directly with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), Alternate COR (ACOR), and Government Technical Monitors (GTMs) to maintain uninterrupted execution of BPA Orders.
• Ensure seamless transition of responsibilities during CPM absences, leave, or surge periods.

• Support planning, scheduling, and execution of SPAS courses across in-person, virtual, and blended delivery modalities.
• Assist in managing instructor assignments, course schedules, and coordination with SPAS Course Chairs/Coordinators.
• Monitor task execution to ensure services are delivered on time, within scope, and in compliance with BPA requirements.
