The IAIP Coordinator's Office receives and reviews all online applications to ensure that applicants meet the eligibility criteria. Eligible applications are reviewed and ranked by the Selection Committee, based on the education, skills and experience listed on the IAIP Qualifications page. Applicants will be notified by email or phone if they are on the top-ranking list. Other applicants will be notified by email. A list of the top ranking applicants will then be forwarded to interested FAS overseas offices for consideration and selection. Top ranking applicants may be contacted directly by interested offices and will be notified of overseas office selection by the IAIP Coordinator.

So that we may contact you as soon as possible during this process, please make sure that any changes of address after you apply are updated immediately in your online registration application profile.

The IAIP Coordinator will request the selected applicants to accurately complete several documents for the Special Agreement Check (SAC) security clearance and contract processes. The contracting officer will call each selected applicant to confirm the contractual information. An offer is then made to the selected applicants. The offer is not “contractually binding” until it is signed by both parties. A final offer is contingent upon adjudication and granting of a Special Agreement Check (SAC) security clearance.

So that we may contact you as soon as possible during this process, please make sure that any changes of address after you apply are updated immediately in your online registration application profile.

Extremely Important: Making travel arrangements or traveling abroad for purposes of reporting for duty should not be done until a personal services contract has been awarded to you by the FAS Contracting Officer. The office or post to which you are assigned will be unable to employ you until you have a signed contract from the Contracting Officer.
