The use of modern technologies is becoming increasingly critical to the successful completion of many government computer projects, and these three labor categories have been established to assist the government in obtaining qualified technical support in these areas.
NOTE: Labor categories 28–30 will be required only when specifically requested in a task order. When required, to qualify as a new technology, one of the following two conditions must apply:
|
Factor |
Weight |
|---|---|
| Education | 15% |
| Experience | 70% |
| Specialized Training | 15% |
Factor: Education
15 Points Advanced degree in Computer Technology
10 Points Bachelor degree in Computer Technology
5 Points Any Bachelor degree
2 Points Associate degreeFactor: Experience
The score for experience is based upon multiplying two factors—the number of months spent using the technology times the percent of time spent using the technology.
Formal Specialized Training
20 Points Accreditation in the requested field 15 Points Four or more courses in the requested field 10 Points Three courses in the requested field 7 Points Two courses in the requested field 3 Points One course in the requested field
This category would not typically include Computer-based Training (CBT).
The following table relates the score as calculated by summing the scores for the three factors to the specific New Technology Specialist level.
Range
Technology Specialist Level
0–3 Not Qualified as a Technology Specialist 4–12 Junior Technology Specialist 13–19 Technology Specialist 20+ Senior Technology Specialist
A spreadsheet follows that can be used to evaluate the qualifications of a candidate Technology Specialist. The categories of "General Experience" and "Specialized Experience" do not apply to these labor categories. Notwithstanding the established BPA rates for these Technology Specialist categories, but for consideration for market conditions and individual qualifications, the Government reserves the right to negotiate individual resumes for these positions.
