PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

C.1 INTRODUCTION

1.1. The Senior Portfolio Services Officer position is located in the Office of Finance and Portfolio Management, Financial Management division of the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC). The Office of Finance and Portfolio Management is responsible for (1) all of the Corporation's budget-related functions and financial management, (2) administering the Corporation's political risk insurance, financing, investment funds, equity, grants and pre-investment programs, and (3) monitoring and maintaining transactions pursuant to the Corporation's policies and procedures for financial monitoring.

1.2. The contractor shall provide personal services as a Senior Portfolio Services Officer managing the direct loan and loan guarantee portfolios transferred to the DFC from the U.S. Agency for International Development under the provisions of the BUILD Act of 2018. These portfolios include loans that were previously initiated by USAID under the Debt Reduction Loan program, initiated after FY 1991, and the Economic Assistance Loan program, which were initiated prior to FY 1992. These

Conformed Unofficial Copy portfolios also include loan guaranties that were previously administered by USAID under the Microenterprise and Small Enterprise Development Guaranteed Loan program; the Urban and Environmental Credit Guaranteed Loan programs, and the Housing and Other Credit Guaranty programs. These programs include loans that were initiated before FY 1992 and after FY 1991 (collectively, the Legacy Loan Portfolio).

DFC will be taking on the managing and servicing of these portfolios from a third-party contractor who is currently performing these services.

Additionally, because PSCs are sole proprietors, they are subject to Section 441C of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) which

C.5 GUIDELINES

5.1. Guidelines include basic legislation, broad agency policies, agency credit policies and procedures, and underwriting guidelines.

The methods and procedures developed may serve as precedents for other officers.

C.6 COMPLEXITY

6.1. The PSC will be involved in all aspects of comprehensive evaluations of data reflecting DFC's worldwide loan portfolio.

Complexities arise from the diversity of enterprises, country of domicile, and the variety of terms and conditions for the loans provided. The work requires precision and attention to detail.

11.2. Work is primarily performed at the DFC office at 1100 New York Ave NW. Washington D.C. 20527. Once a telework agreement is in place, the PSC may work remotely up to 5 days per week, depending on pandemic guidelines.

C.12 HOURS OF PERFORMANCE

12.1. DFC's core operating hours are from 09:00am to 3:00pm. The PSC shall provide 40 hours of service each week. PSCs are not eligible for overtime or compensatory time.

12.3. Floating Hours: PSCs are eligible for floating hours for time worked over 80 hours in a pay period. The annual accrual of floating hours is not limited. However, no more than 36 hours of unused floating hours will be paid out to the PSC at the end of the option period. Floating hours accrued and used shall be recorded on the timesheet and approved by the PSC supervisor. Only travel during non-work hours can receive floating hours. All floating hours earned must be used by the end of the current option period. Floating hours are paid with current year funds that expire at the end of the option. Therefore, floating hours do not roll over to the next option period. Any unpaid or unused floating hours will be removed from the timesheet at the end of the current option or contract expiration.

12.4. Paid Time Off (PTO): All PSCs receive 15 days, 120 hours, of PTO per year. This time can be used as annual or sick leave and the balance shall be tracked on the PSC's timecard.

Unused PTO will not be paid out at the end of the option period. All PTO requests shall be approved by both the COR and PSC's supervisor.

12.5. Facility Closure: PSCs are only permitted to invoice for hours worked.

In these situations, the PSC has the option to telework, or use floating hours or PTO.

12.6. Federal Holidays – PSCs are paid for all Federal Holidays as listed below and any additional federal holidays granted by executive order. As PSCs are not authorized overtime or comp time, any hours worked on a federal holiday are added to the timesheet as floating hours earned.

C.14 NONSALARY BENEFITS

14.1 Health Insurance and Retirement Subsidies: Per the Build Act, PSCs shall not be considered Federal employees for any provision of law administered by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Therefore, PSCs are not eligible to participate in employer-provided health insurance or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). In lieu of these benefits, DFC provides standard non-negotiable health insurance and retirement subsidies.

Health Insurance: this subsidy is based on the average of 72% of the OPM program-wide weighted average of premiums for "self only" and "self plus one" at the time of contract award. This amount is paid directly to the PSC as part of their salary regardless of their insured status. PSCs do not have to provide proof of insurance to receive this subsidy. This subsidy is fixed and does not increase in option years. The OPM rates can be found at https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/plan-information/premiums/

14.2. Retirement: this subsidy is a percentage equal to the federal employee contribution to OPM FERS at the time of contract award. The subsidy is applied to the PSC's annual salary inclusive of locality. The percentage of the subsidy does not increase over the contract period of performance. However, the amount of the subsidy increases as the PSC's annual salary increases according to the contract escalation rate. Current employee contribution rates to FERS can be found at https://www.dm.usda.gov/employ/policy/docs/USDA%20FERS%20Summary%20v2.pdf. Employees hired in 2014 or later contribute 4.4%.

14.3 Metro Subsidy or Parking Subsidy: PSCs are eligible to receive either the metro subsidy or parking subsidy. The amount of the subsidies is subject to annual changes and are processed by Facilities and Administrative Services, and the Department of Finance. The parking subsidy requires PSCs to authorize a payroll deduction for the reduced parking fee from their pay.

14.4. Gym Membership: PSCs are eligible to receive on-site gym membership subject to the same process as for FTEs.

Reimbursement for other gyms is not authorized.

14.5. Taxes: DFC issues W-2s to PSCs and makes the employer contribution to FICA and Medicare for the PSC. DFC also withholds FICA, Medicare, federal tax and state tax on behalf of the PSC. The PSC is not eligible for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.

C.15. DELIVERABLES

16.2. Methods of Surveillance: Various methods exist to monitor performance. The COR shall use any or several of the surveillance methods listed below in the administration of this contract.

16.2.1. 100% Inspection: Evaluation of all outcomes and deliverables to determine if performance level is acceptable.

16.2.2. Periodic Inspection: Evaluation of some outcomes and deliverables. Services are sampled to determine if performance level is acceptable.

16.2.3. Customer Input: Customer feedback on the quality and timeliness of services provided to determine if performance level is acceptable.

16.3. PERFORMANCE RATINGS: The following rating definitions can be used as a guide when completing the Performance Assessment:

16.3.1. Exceptional Performance meets all contractual requirements and exceeds most to the government's benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with almost no minor problems for which corrective actions were taken by the contractor, and the corrective actions were highly effective.

16.3.2. Very Good Performance meets all contractual requirements and exceeds some to the government's benefit. The contractual performance element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with very few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

16.3.3 Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

16.3.4. Below Satisfactory Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions.
