The opportunities filled from this AON are under Section 852 of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act, commonly referred to as the 852 Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) program. The opportunities filled under this program are two-year TERM opportunities. Please read below section entitled 'DAWIA REQUIREMENTS carefully; opportunities filled under this authority carry unique restrictions. DAWIA REQUIREMENTS: Selectee must complete Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) certification requirements in the appropriate acquisition career field at Level III within the two year term employment period. This is a two (2) year TERM appointment within NGA that may not exceed two years under the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) program, and is not guaranteed. Applicants will be rated and ranked by an agency Qualifications Review Board using only the information submitted for consideration. Applicants who do not document their demonstrated experience, training, and/or education in support of the Mandatory Qualifications will be ineligible for further consideration. Failure to provide all the required information could result in an ineligible rating. Incomplete applications will not be considered. A Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) term employee may be eligible for non-competitive conversion to a permanent DCIPS permanent appointment at the same pay band and similar or same work role for which initially hired. The term employee must have a "successful or better" overall rating on the most recent performance evaluation to be eligible for conversion*. Applicants must be able to obtain TS/SCI security clearance. Current federal employees cannot be considered for this appointment. If you were previously a government employee, there must be a break-in-service of at least 30 days since being a government employee; a minimum of 30 days break in employment is required for prior military. Maintain a Facility Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (FSRM) tracking and forecasting tool to predict required project funding from 2-10 years out for all NGA owned sites. Utilize the Intelligence Community (IC) BUILDER Program application, as the tool becomes available, for FSRM forecasting based on assessments made by the Installation Operations Office (SIO) maintenance and repair staff and changing modernization requirements. In conjunction with site engineers, prioritize FSRM projects across the FYDP and allocate funding as appropriate. Provide monthly updates to the Chief of the SIO Facility Programs Division (SIOF) on the current FSRM requirements, current year project execution, and future years' project design and funding impacts on meeting NGA's FSRM requirements. Assure identified operation and maintenance repairs and improvements are promptly and properly captured within the established facilities project plan and are included in budget planning. Respond to current-year unexpected facility repairs with appropriate restructuring of priorities as required, in consultation with the C/SIOF, Facility Program Officer and site management, to fund new requirements or promptly advocate for an unfunded requirement within established timeframes to preclude unreasonable mission impact. Maintain and update FSRM policy in accordance with DoD and IC developments, guidance and emerging trends. Work with site management (NCE, Arnold and St. Louis) to proactively identify a comprehensive list of future facility sustainment and repair projects for a five- to ten-year sliding programming window and provide updates to the C/SIOF. Assist C/SIOF with proposals and presentations to justify future-year FSRM budgets.
