Position Category Descriptions (PCDs)

This page last updated on April 07, 2015

Once a Department of Defense position (civilian or military) has been evaluated and it has been determined to be an acquisition position it must be assigned to one of the current acquisition career fields.  This is done by associating those acquisition related duties/functions to the Position Category Description(PCD) that best describes the preponderance of those acquisition related duties/functions. 

Some acquisition positions will require the further assignment of a Career Path or Job Specialty. Review the current career path descriptions and if appropriate, assign the associated Job Specialty code to the position.

Below are the currently approved PCDs.
