Subject: Determination of Executive Compensation Benchmark Amount, Pursuant to Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, (OFPP) Act (41 U.S.C. 435), as amended. This memorandum sets forth the benchmark compensation amount as required by Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Act (41 U.S.C. 435), as amended. Under Section 39, the benchmark compensation amount is the median amount of the compensation provided for all senior executives of benchmark corporations for the most recent year for which data is available. The benchmark compensation amount established by Section 39 limits the allowability of compensation costs under government contracts. The benchmark compensation amount does not limit the compensation that an executive may otherwise receive. This amount is based on data from commercially available surveys of executive compensation that analyze the relevant data made available by the Securities and Exchange Commission. More specifically, as required by Section 39 of the OFPP Act, the data used is the median (50th percentile) amount of compensation accrued over a recent 12-month period for the top five highest paid executives of publicly VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:33 Mar 24, 2008 Jkt 214001 traded companies with annual sales over $50 million. After consultation with the Director of the Defense Contract Audit Agency, we have determined pursuant to the requirements of Section 39 that the benchmark compensation amount for contractors’ fiscal year (FY) 2008 is $612,196. This amount is for contractors’ FY 2008 and subsequent contractor fiscal years, unless and until revised by OFPP. The benchmark compensation amount applies to contract costs incurred after January 1, 2008, under covered contracts of both the defense and civilian procurement agencies as specified in Section 39 of the OFPP Act (41 U.S.C. 435), as amended.
