The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) seeks to alleviate the management challenges associated with its Personal Services Contractor (PSC) workforce. To address issues like lengthy hiring processes, lack of competitive benefits, and inefficient individual contract management, DFC will award a Personal Services Contract to a single entity for the recruitment and administration of Co-Employed Personnel (CEPs). This contract utilizes a hybrid fixed-price and cost reimbursement structure and aims for a streamlined hiring process to fill operational, technical, and support positions. The contractor will handle essential human resource functions including payroll, benefits, performance management, and travel coordination, while DFC will maintain supervision and direction of CEPs' daily work. The contract anticipates a minimum of one year with four optional extensions, allowing for the transfer of existing PSCs to this structure. Key performance objectives include achieving a 90% fill rate for positions within four months and providing a competitive benefits package comparable to federal employees to enhance retention and attract high-quality candidates. The emphasis is on efficient workforce management to fulfill DFC's mission of financing global development projects effectively.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) is conducting market research to streamline the management of its Personal Services Contractor (PSC) workforce. The DFC plans to award a single indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide Co-Employed Personnel (CEPs) who will fulfill the same functions as existing PSC staff but will be managed by the contractor. The aim is to ease the administrative burden, enhance hiring and retention, and ensure competitive benefits for the PSC workforce. The contract will utilize a hybrid pricing model. Organizations interested in this opportunity are encouraged to submit capability statements addressing their capacity, experience, and any potential subcontracting arrangements by April 22, 2025. The responses will help determine the acquisition method, which may target small businesses or involve open competition. Interested parties must send their submissions via FedConnect and email to designated DFC representatives. This initiative represents a strategic effort by the DFC to optimize its human resources management while maintaining compliance and performance standards within federal contracting processes.
