New York Army National Guard (NYARNG), United States Property & Fiscal Office (USP&FO), Supply and Services Division (MNPF-SS) Central Issue Facility (CIF) has a requirement for Supply Technician Support position that provides support for the mission to maintain properly trained and equipped units available for prompt mobilization for war, national emergency or as otherwise needed. This temporary contractor position provides assistance in the status of incoming supplies and equipment to mobilizing and demobilizing units across NYARNG.

Q: What is the SCA labor category of the incumbents.

Like the answer above, it is at the digression of the vendor to choose the labor category.
