- Description
- Biographical Data Form Announcement for Deputy Resident Country Director The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a U.S. Government corporation whose mission is to provide assistance that will support economic growth and poverty reduction in carefully selected developing countries that demonstrate a commitment to just and democratic governance, economic freedom, and investments in their citizenry. MCC's approach to development assistance is innovative, partnership-based involving substantial resources and a high degree of consultation with a sharp focus on achieving measurable results with U.S. taxpayer resources. For more information on the MCC, please visit www.mcc.gov. The contract will be for a Personal Services Contractor (PSC). A personal services contract is different from the usual non-personal services Government contract, which establishes an independent contract relationship. Under a non-personal services contract, the contractor or employees of the contractor are subject to the technical direction but not the supervision of the MCC. As defined by FAR 37.104, a personal services contract is characterized by the employer-employee relationship it creates between the Government and the contractor personnel. Thus, the PSC is subject to the relatively continuous technical direction, supervision, and control of the MCC. PSCs may be assigned inherently governmental duties (FAR 7.502). By law and by the terms of their personal services contract, the PSC is subject to most of the laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the direct hire employee such as MCC regulations, conflict of interest, under some circumstances MCC authorized employment security clearances, and financial disclosure. However, under the MCC personal services contract authority, PSCs are not employees for purposes of laws administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The following elements apply to this contact: (1) Performance on site. (2) Principal tools and equipment furnished by the Government. (3) Services are applied directly to the integral effort of agencies or an organizational subpart in furtherance of assigned function or mission. (4) Comparable services, meeting comparable needs, are performed in the same or similar agencies using civil service personnel. (5) The need for the type of service provided can reasonably be expected to last beyond 1 year. (6) The inherent nature of the service, or the manner in which it is provided, reasonably requires directly or indirectly, Government direction or supervision of contractor employees in order to- (i) Adequately protect the Government's interest; (ii) Retain control of the function involved; or (iii) Retain full personal responsibility for the function supported in a duly authorized Federal officer or employee. MCC seeks a Deputy Resident Country Director (DRCD) locally resident in Praia, Cape Verde. The individual selected will be hired full-time under a personal services contract through Washington, DC headquarters. MCC, by design, has a lean presence on the ground but a high degree of responsibility for large programs that are implemented by partner countries. As a result, members of MCC's small Mission staff will need to be highly-skilled, flexible, able to create structure from the ground up, have very sound and skilled independent judgment, and be tolerant of pressure and change. MCC Compacts are limited to five years and it is preferred that team members have the ability to make a multi-year commitment. Incumbent's pay grade and compensation level are based on the following: proven leadership and management skills; professional experience and past performance; job knowledge, skills and abilities; assigned level, scope and extent of responsibility; and education and training. PLEASE NOTE: This contract shall be awarded solely to an individual(s), not to a firm. The individual must have an active DUNS # and a fully approved & active www.sam.gov record at the time of contracting.
