What is an Office of Personnel Management Interchange Agreement?
An Interchange Agreement is an agreement between the Office of Personnel Management and another agency (in the excepted service) which prescribes conditions under which employees may be moved from one system to another. Some of these agreements may be indefinite and some are not; some only apply to employees occupying certain positions. This list is subject to change. For a complete list of organizations with interchange agreements and specific appointment conditions see: http://www.opm.gov/employ/html/sroa2.asp#InterchangeAgreementsWithOtherMeritSystems. If you are an employee eligible for consideration for a Merit Promotion position under an Interchange Agreement, you will be asked for information about your eligibility under the vacancy announcement questions. If you have a copy of your agency’s specific agreement, it may be helpful to submit it with a copy of your latest personnel action when you apply for the position.
