Additional Notes

All contract work for service credit is considered on a case-by-case basis. In general, the NSEP Service Committee considers requests for service credit at a contractor if the company is receiving funding from a Tier One federal agency. The federal funding for the position must come in the form of a contract or cooperative agreement. Work performed under federal grants will not qualify for service credit.

When applying to contracting positions, please be sure to verify with the hiring manager that the position is funded by federal contracts or cooperative agreements, and reach out to the NSEP Service Team at nsep@nsep.gov if you have any questions.
