Excepted Service

The Architect of the Capitol is an Excepted Service Federal agency in the Legislative Branch of government. It is excepted from Competitive Service under the merit system in the Executive Branch administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This means that AOC has its own hiring system based on merit, and has established its own evaluation criteria to fill position vacancies. However, the AOC has adopted the qualification and classification standards for its positions as determined by OPM. Although the AOC has adopted most of these standards, the AOC, under its statutory authority, has also established unique qualification standards for certain positions.
