Grade Level

GS-5

Entry Professional

Contracting Relevance

GS-5 marks the entry level for many professional and technical career tracks, typically requiring a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. This is a common starting grade for recent college graduates entering federal service. Government contractors employ GS-5 equivalent staff in analyst, technician, and specialist roles.

Federal service contracts (such as those under GSA Schedules and OASIS+) use GS-equivalent labor categories to define pricing tiers. When bidding on government contracts, understanding the GS-5 grade level helps contractors price their labor categories competitively while meeting the experience and education requirements agencies expect.

Note: The salary range shown is the 2024 base General Schedule rate (Step 1 through Step 10). Actual federal employee compensation includes locality pay adjustments that can increase base pay by 16-44% depending on geographic area. Major metro areas like Washington D.C., San Francisco, and New York have the highest locality adjustments.
