Decision Question
Given that accurate alternative titles such as 'Inspection Technician,' 'Engineering Associate,' or 'Design Technologist' are available and would satisfy both federal contract operational requirements and brochure accuracy obligations, does ENGCO's use of engineering titles for non-degreed personnel constitute an indefensible voluntary choice rather than a compelled one?
Focus
Whether the Availability of Accurate Alternative Titles Forecloses Any Necessity-Based Defense of ENGCO's Engineering Title Assignments for Non-Degreed Personnel
Option1
Adopt accurate alternative titles such as 'Inspection Technician' or 'Engineering Associate' for non-degreed non-licensed personnel in the brochure while maintaining the federal contract title designations solely in contractual and operational documents, thereby satisfying both brochure accuracy obligations and federal contract requirements without operational disruption
Option2
Retain engineering titles in the brochure for personnel whose roles are defined as 'Engineer' in active federal contracts, on the basis that using different titles in the brochure and in federal contracts for the same personnel creates confusion for federal agency clients who use the brochure to verify that listed personnel match contract-designated roles
Option3
Use accurate alternative titles in the brochure but append a parenthetical cross-reference to the federal contract title for each affected personnel listing—e.g., 'Inspection Technician (designated as Engineer under Contract No. X)'—so that federal agency clients can reconcile brochure listings with contract documents while the public receives accurate credential information
