Attachment 3 - Labor Categories Definitions

* Education and experience minimums outline the minimum level of qualification for each skill level. Education and experience should be appropriate for each TO. The government understands that circumstances and individual TO requirement (university unique requirements) may require variations in qualifications (i.e. a new PhD without experience) and reserves the right to negotiate with the contractor, trade offs between education, experience, technical training, and responsibility levels when agreed by both parties. Level of technical capability required for each TO will be used as the driving factor in establishing a technically acceptable labor category. Any negotiated variations will be documented in the task order file.
