Personal Services Contractors
Most individuals hired by OTI are Personal Services Contractors or PSCs. PSCs are contracted to the Agency but are, in effect, Government employees. PSCs have the same salary scale and allowances as a direct-hire employee, but have a more limited range of benefits.
Current Positions
Solicitations for personal services contracts for internationally recruited and Washington-based USPSCs appear on FedBizOpps http://www.fedbizopps.gov and not on the Agency's website. OTI will make every effort to list current positions; however, interested applicants should always check the FedBizOpps site.
