You should also see any formal education requirements as well. Enroll in an introductory DAU on-line contracting course, develop a solid program plan, and incorporate that into your 51C application for a solid basis of your selection!

This is definitely a great career move, I am an 1102/51C and for me this definitely was the best career move I ever made. Best of luck to you.

Does anyone know if a color vision waiver is possible for 51c? I'm likely going to choose OCS if I cannot submit a packet for this MOS down the line.
