About this file

This document is a Labor Category Minimum/General Experience matrix detailing education and experience requirements for multiple professional roles across various technical and analytical disciplines. The document outlines specific labor categories including Scientist/Engineer/Systems Analyst, Acquisition/Procurement/Contract Analyst, Business/Financial/Management Analyst, Computer Scientist/Systems Analyst, IT Analyst, Technical Project Manager, and Writer/Editor.

For each labor category, the matrix defines hierarchical experience levels from Associate to Senior Ph.D., specifying minimum education requirements (typically a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field), and provides substitution rules for advanced degrees and experience. Common substitution patterns include allowing 5 years of relevant experience to replace a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree to substitute for a Bachelor's degree and 3 years' experience, and a Ph.D. to substitute for a Bachelor's degree and 7 years' experience. There is no education substitution allowed for the Ph.D. category, and for Senior I and Senior II levels, combinations of degree, certification, and experience are considered if the relevant experience requirement is satisfied.
