Classification and Position Management at the Department of Commerce is divided up into three personnel systems - the Federal Classification and Job Grading System, the Commerce Alternative Personnel System (CAPS) (formally DEMO Project), and the Alternative Personnel Management System (APMS) used by NIST. 

Resources and tools for the Federal classification and CAPS are presented below.  For additional information on the APMS, see the NIST website.
