Da Form 7222 1 Fillable PDF Details

The DA Form 7222-1 is the Senior System Civilian Evaluation Report used by the U.S. Army. It documents annual performance for career-grade civilian employees at GS-13 and above, including Senior Executive Service (SES) members. Army Regulation 690-400 governs this form, and the proponent agency is ASA(M&RA).

Parts of the DA Form 7222-1

The form contains nine parts, each covering a distinct phase of the evaluation process:

• Part I - Administrative Data: Records the ratee's name, position title, pay plan, series, grade, and organization. It also notes the reason for submission, such as annual, special, or intern-based evaluation.
• Part II - Authentication: Collects required signatures from the ratee, rater, and senior rater. All parties certify that the evaluation followed Army policy.
• Part III - Performance Award Recommendation: Documents recommendations for performance awards, quality step increases, and bonus pay. Nominees are typically referred through a DA Form 638 Recommendation for Award.
• Part IV - Duty Description: States the ratee's primary duties and responsibilities. This section establishes the baseline for performance measurement in Part VI.
• Part V - Army Values and Competencies: Evaluates the ratee's adherence to Army Values and core leader competencies throughout the rating period.
• Part VI - Performance Evaluation: The rater scores each objective and provides bullet comments. Rating options include Excellence, Success, Needs Improvement, and Fails.
• Part VII - Intermediate Rater Comments (Optional): An intermediate rater may add comments between the rater and the senior rater when required by the evaluation chain.
• Part VIII - Senior Rater Evaluation: The senior rater assesses overall potential and provides a narrative summary of performance and future potential.
• Part IX - Overall Performance Rating: Captures the final summary rating and confirms whether a senior rater review is required.

When to Submit DA Form 7222-1

Supervisors must submit this form at three key times during the rating cycle:

• Annual evaluation: At the end of each 12-month rating period for all eligible employees.
• Special evaluation: When a rater or senior rater changes before the annual due date, preventing a coverage gap in the employee's record.
• Intern evaluation: For civilian interns completing a developmental assignment or graduating from a formal training program.

How DA Form 7222-1 Differs From DA Form 7222

DA Form 7222 applies to civilian employees at GS-1 through GS-12 and WG/WL/WS supervisory positions. DA Form 7222-1 applies to career-grade employees at GS-13 and above. Both forms are two pages long but differ in the rating criteria and senior rater involvement required.
