    DRAFT POSTING SOW - DFC PSC IDIQ.docx
    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.
