Senior Advisor, Government Debt and Infrastructure Finance - Personal Services Contractor
TREASURY, DEPARTMENT OF THE.TREASURY COMMON SERVICES CENTER.TCSC DEPARTMENTAL OFFICES · Response deadline: Fri, 01 Jan 2027
What the government is buying
The U.S. Department of Treasury is seeking a Senior Advisor for Government Debt and Infrastructure Finance as a Personal Services Contractor (PSC). This is an individual expert position, not a typical goods or services contract for a company team. Treasury Departmental Offices, operating through the Treasury Common Services Center, need specialized advisory capacity in two complex, high-stakes domains: how the federal government manages its debt obligations and how it structures and supports infrastructure financing.
Government debt and infrastructure finance work at Treasury typically involves policy analysis, market research, legislative development support, and interagency coordination. A senior advisor in this role would likely contribute to Treasury's work on municipal bonds (including Build America Bonds and similar programs), federal credit programs such as the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), and broader debt management strategy. The position may also touch on Treasury's role in infrastructure investment through the Office of Domestic Finance or related policy units.

Who can bid
This PSC opportunity is set aside for no one—it is full and open competition. This means any responsible offeror, including individuals self-certifying as contractors, may submit a bid. However, Personal Services Contractor positions in the federal government function differently from standard small-business set-asides. Treasury appears to be using the NAICS code 928120 (International Affairs), which is unusual for a domestic infrastructure finance role; see the solicitation to confirm whether this classification affects eligibility or size standards.
Small-business owners should note: PSC arrangements typically restrict the contractor from simultaneously holding federal employment and may impose ethics requirements, conflict-of-interest provisions, and security clearance needs. The incumbent individual will likely need to pass Treasury suitability review. If you are a small business submitting on behalf of an individual, clarify whether the solicitation permits corporate bids or requires individual application—see the solicitation for this structure.
How to put together a competitive bid
For a senior advisory PSC role, Treasury will prioritize demonstrated expertise over corporate capacity. Competitive bidders should emphasize:
Direct federal debt or infrastructure finance experience: Prior Treasury, Federal Reserve, OMB, or congressional budget committee work carries significant weight. Document any involvement with muni bond markets, federal credit programs, or infrastructure policy formulation.
Technical depth in both domains: The dual requirement—government debt and infrastructure finance—suggests Treasury wants breadth. Show how your background bridges public finance, capital markets, and infrastructure project structuring rather than siloed experience in only one area.
Policy communication skills: Senior advisors translate complex finance concepts for policy audiences. Include writing samples, testimony experience, or briefings delivered to senior officials.
Active relationships and clearances: Existing Treasury trust, security clearances, or ongoing access reduces government risk. Mention these prominently if applicable.
Availability and flexibility: PSC roles often demand rapid start and uncertain duration. Confirm your ability to begin quickly and accommodate term changes.
Since this is full and open competition without set-aside preferences, price competitiveness matters alongside qualifications. Research comparable PSC rates at Treasury for similar senior advisory roles.
