PLCY employs DHS Attach's posted abroad falling under the authority of the Chief of Mission, and CSCS funds are collected for overseas facilities and security on a per capita basis. Pricing Change 6 - Contract Adjustments: This pricing change reflects an increase for OIDO contracts to correct the baseline. Pricing Change 7 - Pay Adjustments: This pricing change reflects an increase for OHS civilian pay due to the Title 38 clinical positions, which typically cost two to three times more than a regular GS position. These higher costs were not included in the original pay cost calculations. Additionally, this pricing change reflects fact-of-life payroll, pay raises, and other FTE costs for the Office of Strategy, Policy and Plans that accumulated in prior years but were not accounted for in past budget submissions.
