A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for any paid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706. | VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or successor, 3 weeks after 5 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of service includes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor or successor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in the performance of similar work at the same Federal facility.

(See 29 CFR 4.174) ** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE ** If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract (either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance: The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are made of ""wash and wear"" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs. ** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS ** The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the ""Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations"", Fifth Edition (Revision 1), dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated. ** OCCUPATIONS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCA DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS ** Diver Supervisor Responsibilities of the supervisor include oversight of diving operations, conducting safety meetings, establishing dive plan/tasks, completing dive related paperwork, communicating with divers and tenders, monitoring diving equipment and diving conditions.

Description

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation is the U.S. Government's developing finance institution. DFC partners with the private sector to finance solutions to the most critical challenges facing the developing world today. DFC invests across sectors including but not limited to energy, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and technology. DFC investments adhere to high standards and respect the environment, human rights, and worker rights.

DFC may acquire various securities in conjunction with its investment activities and is seeking a global custodian to hold these securities as it cannot have an account with any financial market infrastructure (FMI) company. 
 
DFC seeks to enter into an agreement with a custodian bank for support in the following:
 
1.  Provide custodial services globally for a wide variety of securities including but not limited to:  debt instruments, equity securities including stocks and warrants; such securities may be exchange traded, OTC, or private placement.
2.  Hold assets and settle securities transactions on behalf of DFC.
3.  Work with brokers and clearinghouses (or comparable intermediaries) to finalize transactions.
4.  Receive, accept, and record all assets delivered to and from DFC’s account.
5.  Transfer funds to the U.S. Treasury.
6.  Provide support for DFC’s own financial reporting and all compliance with applicable tax and regulatory regimes.
7.  Provide system interfaces and support to efficiently enable services.

Please see the attached solicitation for more information. In your response, please note the following:

Offerors must answer:

1.  How is your global custody service structured? Is it through relationships with local custodians, direct presence, or a hybrid of both depending on country?

2.  Where do you not provide services directly? Please note which countries you transact directly vs indirectly, and if needed, please note rationale.

3. Which emerging markets does your financial institution have operations in? Please provide full list of countries, and please note specific operations for countries like India, Mexico, Australia, and Brazil.

4. What types of securities can your financial institution house in a custody account?

5. What services are offered? (custody, accounting, foreign exchange, liquidity services, reporting, trust, treasury, etc.?)

6.  What is the fee structure – fixed or dependent upon assets type and/or size? If dependent upon varying factors, please provide a tiered pricing schedule.

7. Development Banks or Institutions (e.g. IBRD, IFC), Development Finance Institutions (e.g. EDFI members), Public Pension Funds, and/or Sovereign Wealth Funds? Please list with a priority on current active contracts, or within the last 3 years. 

8. How long will it generally take to set up a global account with your financial institution?  Please provide notional or example KYC diligence requirements.

9.   Any other information you would like for us to note.

FAQ

How do I use the Market Snapshot?

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.

Is the data live?
