Department of Defense (Air Force, Army, Army Corps of Engineers, Marine Corps)

SCA carries out its cooperative programs under the terms of a national Cooperative Agreement with the Department of the Army. The funding of the DoD’s share of the costs will come from the host installation’s operating budget which will be MIPR’d to the contracting office at Fort Detrick, MD for payment to SCA. For further information on the MIPR process, please contact Ray Auger (603-543-1700 ext. 1144; rauger@theSCA.org).

Department of Defense (Navy)

SCA carries out its cooperative programs on naval installations under the terms of a national Cooperative Agreement with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFACENGCOM). The NAVFACENGCOM will provide its own centrally managed funding for the Navy’s share of the costs for most Internships; therefore, positions will usually not be funded out of your installation’s budget. Please submit your Intern Request Form attached to a command letterhead request directly to the Navy Cooperative Agreement Technical Representative, Walter Briggs at NAVFAC Northwest, 1101 Tautog Circle, Suite #203, Silverdale, WA 98315; telephone (360) 396-0922; DSN 744-0922; email walter.r.briggs@navy.mil with a copy to SCA to facilitate recruiting if and when your position(s) receive approval. For further information please contact Ray Auger (603) 543-1700 ext. 1144; rauger@theSCA.org).
