(CAPPMIS). CAPPMIS is the Army’s cen- tral repository for acquisition workforce data. This easily accessible application process, with the ability to view the dates applications are being accepted, resulted in an overwhelmingly positive response to SLRP in 2011. The 2011 announcement was open from May 2 through June 10.


In 2010, 2,751 applications were reviewed, and 1,327 of those were selected for fund- ing, for a total of $11.9 million. The 2011 SLRP budget was significantly less because of other recruitment and reten- tion incentive funding. In the 2011 offering, 2,797 applications were submit- ted, and 539 were selected for funding, for a total of $4.68 million spent to retain those qualified individuals.


The areas of consideration reviewed during the evaluation process included, without pri- ority: education level, applicability of degree to the 14 acquisition position categories, Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act position requirement achievements (certification, career-broadening experi- ences, etc.), annual performance appraisal, and endorsement from the supervisory chain of command. The breakdown of the 539 selected applicants in 2011 is illustrated in Figures 1 through 4.
