    In order to qualify, you must meet the education and experience requirements described below. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student; social).

    You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application.

    Additional information about transcripts is in this document.

    To qualify based on your experience, your resume must describe at least one year of experience which prepared you to do the work in this job. Specialized experience is defined as: (1) Developing of project management policies, planning, requirements and direction within a Network and Software program. (2) Advising on program operations in the areas of establishing processes, procedures and tools for program execution (3) Participating in analysis of a program's budget, cost and mission requirements and (4) Overseeing project responsibilities such as development, acquisition, testing, life cycle support, resources management, contracting, scheduling, personnel and facilities. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service NH-III (GS-13).

    You will be evaluated on the basis of your level of competency (knowledge, skills, and abilities) in the following areas:
    • Acquisition Strategy
    • Communications
    • Human Resources Management
    • Organizational Performance Analysis
    • Project Management

    Some federal jobs allow you to substitute your education for the required experience in order to qualify. For this job, you must meet the qualification requirement using experience alone--no substitution of education for experience is permitted.

    However, there is an education requirement for membership in the Acquisition Corps which includes:

    1. Baccalaureate degree from an accredited educational institution (you must submit your transcripts)
    Or
    1. Possess significant potential for advancement to levels of greater responsibility and authority
    And

    At least 24 semester credit hours of study at an accredited institution of higher education from among the following disciplines: accounting, business, finance, law, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management

    Or

    At least 24 semester credit hours of study at an accredited institution in the individual's AT&L Career Field and either 12 semester credit hours from among the above-listed disciplines or training in these disciplines equivalent to the 12 semester credit hours. (Training courses that carry an American Council of Education (ACE) credit recommendation may be used for equivalency.) ACE credit recommendations may only be used to meet the 24 semester hour standard for Acquisition Corps membership if those credit recommendations have been accepted by and appear on an official transcript from an accredited institution of higher education. DAWIA provides the option to substitute equivalent training for the 12 semester credit hours applied to the 24 hours in the individual's AT&L Career Field and 12 hours in the covered disciplines. This does not apply to the option for 24 semester credit hours in the covered disciplines.

    FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
