This sounds like a process for identifying acquisition professionals who appear to be candidates for promotion. Is that correct?

The SPRE is a tool to evaluate the potential of civilian employees in designated grades/broadbands to perform in positions of increased responsibility or for selection into positions in designated senior leadership programs. For example, positions subject to the Army Acquisition Corps (AAC) Centralized Selection List (CSL) boards as well as for the Competitive Development Group/Army Acquisition Fellowship (CDG/AFF and the Defense Acquisition University – Senior Service College Fellowship (DAU-SSCF) program boards. It should help identify if you are on-track for the future positions you aspire to, or to identify positions to help you get to where you aspire to be.
