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 are 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.

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

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. The contractor's proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.
