Are the pay scales tied to the GS-* ladder?

Yes. Our entry-level hiring is done onto GS positions. Our experienced positions (requiring approximately three years of post-degree employment) are covered under the AcqDemo pay system (https://acqdemo.hci.mil). These experienced positions are generally a part of the NH-03 pay band, which correlates with the GS-12 and GS-13 grades of the General Schedule.

All of our positions are federal jobs.

Cool gig. Sadly bottom of the GS-13 band would be a ~%40 pay cut and I need to stay close to my aging folks in NC. :'(

Nice that you are helping people that don't have them get clearances too. Amazing opportunity for someone early in their career with an interest to break into government contracting work requiring a security clearance.

Anyway - good luck. Thanks for the important work you all are doing.

They shouldn't be, as they can't offer the exact same benefits that the GS positions would have.
