Do you qualify for GS-12?

With experience: You need one year of specialized experience at the GS-11 level. This means evaluating contracting policies and procedures and reviewing contracts, contracting plans, and contract changes for the acquisition method, contract type, and documentation. Paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work, counts.

With education: A bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited U.S. college or university meets the basic education requirement. Foreign degrees must be evaluated by a private organization as equal to a U.S. degree, or given full credit at a U.S. accredited school. Some current DoD civilians and military members who held similar contracting jobs on or before September 30, 2000 are exempt from the degree requirement. Education cannot replace experience at this grade.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• DAWIA certification in Contracting, required within 36 months of appointment

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of two pages or less showing employer, job title, start and end dates (month and year), hours per week, and duties
• Online questionnaire responses
• College transcripts if you qualify through education
• Most recent performance appraisal, if applicable
• Cover letter (optional)
• Proof of U.S. citizenship

How you will be rated: Your application is reviewed against the job qualifications using your resume, supporting documents, and questionnaire responses. If you inflate your qualifications or experience, you may lose consideration. Missing required information can make your application incomplete or rate you ineligible.

Tips for this job:

• Your resume must show hours worked per week for each job, or it may be marked incomplete.
• If you qualify through education, upload your transcript with your application or you will be rated ineligible.
• Upload documents early, since virus scans can take up to several hours, and re-select your extra documents in the application.
