Overview

To meet the requirements of AIDAR, Appendix D and ADS 309.3.2.2, Requestors and Contracting Officers/Executive Officers (COs) must determine the level of U.S. Personal Services Contractor (USPSCs) positions for work both in the U.S. and overseas. The benchmark characteristics of this guide are designed to assist Requestors, and COs with determining the GS-equivalent grade and corresponding salary range for a UPSPC position. The GS grade represents the market value for the work to be performed, and the GS salary range represents agreement within the U.S. Government about approximately what USAID should pay for performance of that work.
