About this file
This document is a Labor Category Descriptions attachment for a federal contract opportunity, detailing 18 different job roles with levels ranging from 1-7. Each labor category includes a title, level, job description, required degree, and suggested years of experience. The roles span technical and administrative functions including Administrative Support Specialist, Antenna/RF Engineer, Configuration/Data Management Specialist, Contracts Administrator, Database Administrator, Flight System Engineer, Integration/Test Engineer, IT Security Specialist, Network Engineer, Procurement/Logistics Specialist, Program/Project Manager, Quality Assurance Specialist, Safety Engineer, Satellite Operator, Scheduler, Software Engineer, System Administrator, System Architect/IT Computer Specialist, Systems Engineer, Technical Writer, and Technician.
The document provides a comprehensive framework for categorizing labor resources, with each role having progressively complex levels based on experience. A notable feature is the flexibility in educational qualifications, where advanced degrees can be cumulatively tallied and substituted for experience: master's and associate degrees are equivalent to two years of experience, while bachelor's and doctoral degrees are equivalent to four years of experience. Most roles require a BS/BA or equivalent degree, with suggested experience ranges typically starting at 0-5 years for entry-level positions and progressing up to 20+ years for the most senior levels. The highest-level positions often include leadership responsibilities such as leading or directing the work of others.
