A. Minimum Personnel Requirements and Labor Category Qualifications

Minimum Personnel Requirements

The contractor shall propose the labor hours per labor category, as outlined in the matrix below. Labor qualifications are only a baseline; contractor should strive for technical excellence in personnel by demonstrating experience and qualifications beyond these qualifications.

A1. Definitions As used in the minimum personnel qualification descriptions for this contract, the terms indicated shall be defined or their meaning qualified as follows:

academic year - a full or complete year of study at a post-secondary educational institution (i.e., junior college, college, university, technical trade, or professional school) toward which at least 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of undergraduate study, or 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours of postgraduate study, were completed.

accredited institution - a post-secondary educational institution which was approved by an accrediting agency listed as nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

accredited program - an educational program or course of study offered by an accredited institution.

degree - an academic title conferred by an accredited institution upon completion of a unified course of study; if not otherwise qualified, the term shall mean a degree at the bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral levels only.

engineering or engineering discipline - when used in relation to educational or work experience requirements, “engineering” shall mean any of the following specific subjects, disciplines, or areas of work experience, including: aerospace, aeronautical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, electronics, environmental, industrial, mechanical, or nuclear engineering.

experience and years of experience

When used in relation to requirements for past participation in professional work or employment activities, “experience” shall mean full-time (on the basis of a standard forty hour work week) participation, at least one-half of which time was spent performing qualifying functions as practitioner or employee.

When used in relation to requirements for a particular term or period of participation, “years of experience” shall mean full, productive years of participation. Productive years are work years of fifty-two weeks reduced by reasonable amounts of time for holiday, annual, and sick leave. If participation was part-time, or if less than one-half of the standard work week was spent performing qualifying functions, the actual time spent performing qualifying functions may be cumulated to arrive at full years (or years and months) of experience. For example, only the actual number of full days (or full-day equivalents) of duty or drills completed during a year of military reserve participation, or in other qualifying part-time employment or practice may be cumulated toward years of experience. Qualifying part-time experience performed in addition to other full-time qualifying employment during the same period of time may be cumulated on a full-time equivalent basis and added to the full-time experience to satisfy a total experience requirement.

postgraduate degree - a master’s, Ph.D., or other professional degree from an accredited institution for which completion of an undergraduate curriculum for receipt of a bachelor’s degree was a prerequisite.
