This award is awarded and paid at the end of each contract year.  The evaluation process includes a variety of customer input as well as feedback from the candidate's direct supervisor through the performance assessment process. Awardees are determined by the Defense In Depth Solutions Project Manager as well as Madina Shaik, President of Defense In Depth Solutions.  The amount of the Superior Performance Award bonus may equal up to five percent (5%) of an employee's base pay.

Determined by the Defense In Depth Solutions Project Manager, a reward of $500 will be paid for each annual full-time equivalent person added to a program.
