There are primarily two types of waivers available for members of the Acquisition Workforce, (1) certification position waiver and (2) Critical Acquisition Position/Key Leadership Position (CAP/KLP) waiver.
Certification Position waiver: If an individual is unable to obtain their current position certification requirement within the allotted grace period of occupying their position the organization may submit a DD Form 2905 ( Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (AT&L) Workforce Position Requirements or Tenure Waiver) requesting a waiver. Normally, a waiver is for no more than 12 months to allow an individual to meet position certification requirements.
Please refer to the document entitled “Position Requirement Extension Waiver Revised Sept 2024 at https://asc.army.mil/web/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Position-Requirement-Extension-Waiver-Revised-September-2024.pdf for the procedures and signature authority for submission of a waiver.
CAP/KLP waiver: CAPs and KLPs have further qualifications that must be met before assignment, unless specifically waived by the appropriate Army official (Army DACM for CAPs and AAE for KLPs). If the individual does not meet the required qualifications, the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center (CPAC) or Selecting Organization’s originating POC must submit a DD Form 2905 (AT&L Workforce Position Requirements or Tenure Waiver) with supporting documentation requesting a waiver prior to the individual filling the position. Normally, a waiver is for 12 months to allow an individual to meet position requirements.
