PORTABLE BIOCONTAINMENT UNIT SUPPORT SERVICES

INDEFINITE DELIVERY, INDEFINITE QUANTITY (IDIQ)

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

SEPTEMBER 8, 2026

1. GENERAL

The Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requires Contractor support services to maintain, train, sustain, deploy, exercise, support, and demobilize its Portable Biocontainment Units (PBCUs) in support of domestic and international public health emergency response operations.

This is a non-personal-services contract for the acquisition of support services related to high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs), special pathogen response, medical transport support, emergency preparedness, and associated operational readiness activities.

This Statement of Work (SOW) establishes the maximum potential scope of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. All work is authorized only by written Task Order (TO) issued by the Contracting Officer (CO). No work is authorized under this SOW alone.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Contractor must provide qualified personnel and perform management, logistics, maintenance, engineering, operational, and demobilization support necessary to maintain PBCUs in a mission-ready status.

Services required under this SOW are organized into the following task areas, described in full at Section 5:

Task Title 1 Training Support Services 2 Exercise Planning and Facilitation 3 Deployment, Operational, and Demobilization Support 4 Storage and Infrastructure Support 5 Maintenance and Readiness Support 6 PBCU and Trailer Fabrication Support 7 PBCU and Trailer Modification Support 8 Model Fabrication 9 Program Management

Each Task Order will define the specific requirement, location, schedule, staffing level, deliverables, funding limitation, and CLIN structure applicable to that Task Order, drawn from the task areas above.

Contract Type. This IDIQ is a hybrid vehicle comprising Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Time & Materials (T&M), and cost-reimbursable Other Direct Cost (ODC) CLINs, assigned per Task Order as follows: FFP for tasks with fixed, objectively measurable scope (Tasks 4, 6, 7, 8, and the base support component of Task 9); T&M for tasks with demand-driven, variable scope not fully known at TO issuance (Task 3); ODC for travel, lodging, and consumables reimbursed at cost per the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) and FAR 31.205-46. Each Task Order must state the applicable contract type, labor categories, pricing structure, CLIN numbers, and authorized ODCs.

3. BACKGROUND

ASPR leads the nation's medical and public health preparedness for, response to, and recovery from disasters and public health emergencies, coordinating with Federal, State, local, Tribal, territorial, and international partners under Emergency Support Function #8 (ESF #8) of the National Response Framework.

ASPR's Center for Response (CFR) supports State and local partners when requested, prepares the nation's healthcare system, and connects people to real-time public health and medical emergency information. When a disaster overwhelms a community, CFR, under ASPR's authority, deploys resources to provide medical care and deliver medical supplies, including biocontainment surface and aeromedical transport of patients suspected of having a high-consequence infectious disease. The Government retains sole authority for patient movement authorization and medical direction; the Contractor's role is limited to operational, logistical, and technical support of the PBCU platform, as further specified in Section 18.

The purpose of this requirement is to support the medical treatment and movement of US citizens with suspected or confirmed HCID infection, future emerging infectious disease outbreaks and public health emergencies impacting American Citizens (AMCITs) anywhere in the world. ASPR requires these services to enhance its operational capabilities in theater, as well as expand its overall operational diversity and flexibility to obtain and provide on-call air transport services to perform emergency deployment of personnel and equipment. ASPR’s PBCUs are a unique and critical response and health security capability and HHS’ only mechanism for safely transporting Americans with a suspected or confirmed infection.

Following lessons learned from the 2014 Ebola outbreak and subsequent public health emergencies, ASPR developed the PBCU capability to support the safe movement and treatment of patients with suspected or confirmed HCID infection. The PBCU capability provides scalable operational flexibility supporting domestic and international response missions, contingency operations, exercises, and readiness activities, including response to emerging infectious disease outbreaks affecting American citizens (AMCITs) worldwide. ASPR's PBCUs are HHS's mechanism for safely transporting Americans with a suspected or confirmed infection.

4. SCOPE

The scope of this SOW encompasses activities in support of ASPR's PBCUs to reduce gaps in access to clinical services and HCID management following disasters, in alignment with ASPR's mission to respond to domestic and international public health and medical threats, diseases, and emergencies.

Requirements may include domestic and international support operations and may require short-notice mobilization consistent with the timeframes specified in Section 5, Task 3. Task Orders issued under this SOW will define the specific scope, location, schedule, staffing, deliverables, and funding limitations applicable to each requirement. Work outside the task areas identified in Section 2 is out of scope of this SOW and requires a contract modification, not a Task Order, to authorize.

5. TASKS

This SOW describes the technical scope of nine Task Areas that may be ordered under this IDIQ. No task described in this Section is authorized, staffed, or performed under the base contract; each Task Area becomes an actual requirement only when incorporated into a written Task Order. The pricing assumptions referenced within each Task Area below (e.g., number of training events, deployment scenarios, PBCU quantities) describe the base-IDIQ rate structure established at contract award — i.e., the fixed unit(s) of work against which the Contractor's proposed rates were evaluated and against which the IDIQ's labor categories, CLIN structure, and unit pricing are keyed. They are not a representation of actual quantities to be ordered, and they do not themselves constitute a Task Order requirement. The actual scope, quantity, and period of performance for any given requirement are established exclusively by the Task Order, which may use the base-IDIQ rate structure as its pricing basis, scale it up or down, or invoke the surge provisions in Section 6, as applicable.

The Contractor is responsible for the planning, coordination, development, implementation, delivery, and quality assurance of all tasks described below, to the extent specified in the applicable Task Order.

All deliverables are subject to COR review and CO acceptance under the criteria specified in the Task Order and consistent with the applicable inspection clause (FAR 52.246-4 or equivalent). If deficiencies are identified, the Contractor must revise and resubmit within the timeframe specified by the COR at no additional cost to the Government.

5.1 Task 1: Training Support Services

The Contractor must furnish all personnel, materials, equipment, and services required to develop and deliver training enabling response personnel to deploy, operate, sustain, and demobilize PBCUs in support of emergency response operations, public health incidents, and disaster environments.

The Contractor must develop and implement a structured PBCU Training Program addressing the following:

system configuration; rapid deployment and setup procedures; clinical and non-clinical operations; power and environmental control systems; communications capabilities; and, as applicable, air/land transport logistics. The program must incorporate infection prevention and control protocols consistent with current CDC guidance for HCID response, safety procedures, and emergency response actions.

The Contractor must provide instruction on preventive maintenance, operator-level troubleshooting, and demobilization/decontamination/redeployment procedures. Upon completion of training, personnel must demonstrate competency — verified through a written and/or practical assessment specified in the Contractor's Training Plan — in each area listed above.

Training delivery mode (in-person, virtual, or hybrid; live or recorded) must be specified in the Task Order or the approved Training Plan. Instruction must be scalable to support class sizes specified in the Task Order (default, absent other specification: 10–40 participants per session).

The Contractor must develop and provide all training materials — training plans, lesson plans, participant manuals, SOPs, and field-usable quick-reference guides — in electronic format and must coordinate training event logistics (note-takers, meeting supplies, and audio/visual support as specified in the Task Order).

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: up to three (3) PBCU training events annually at a Government-designated site.

A Task Order may order more or fewer events than this baseline; the Task Order must state the actual number of events ordered and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing. Any Government request for training support beyond the scope defined in an issued Task Order — including logistics-focused training for Federal personnel not already priced in that Task Order — must be issued as a written Task Order modification with corresponding CLIN adjustment before the Contractor commences additional work.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.1.

5.2 Task 2: Exercise Planning and Facilitation

The Contractor must develop and facilitate Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)-compliant PBCU exercises to test whether exercise objectives have been achieved, and corrective actions incorporated, supporting ASPR planning and policy development.

Exercises must be discussion- or operations-based (seminars, workshops, tabletops, drills, games, functional, or full-scale exercises requiring air/land transport of one or more PBCU units, as specified in the Task Order), and development must include the full HSEEP cycle: objectives setting, planning conferences, scenario development, exercise structure development, hotwash support, and after-action report development with corrective action recommendations.

The Contractor must support the full range of HSEEP planning meetings (Concepts & Objectives, Initial Planning, Midterm Planning, In-Progress Review, Master Scenario Events List Development, Final Planning) through exercise execution and after-action development and must coordinate event planning logistics and travel as specified in the Task Order.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: one exercise per year, including 2 days of exercising and 2 days of on-ground support. A Task Order may order more or fewer exercises, or a different exercise duration, than this baseline;

the Task Order must state the actual scope ordered and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.2.

5.3 Task 3: Deployment, Operational, and Demobilization Support

The Contractor must provide deployment, operational, and demobilization support for ASPR's PBCUs in support of domestic and international emergency response missions. Upon documented notification by the CO or COR, the Contractor must mobilize personnel and resources to prepare, deploy, establish, operate, sustain, and demobilize PBCUs in accordance with mission requirements.

Notification Trigger. All mobilization, activation, and demobilization timeframes begin upon documented notification, defined as a time-stamped email or written order from the CO or COR. A verbal notification may initiate the clock provisionally but must be confirmed in writing within 1 hour; if written confirmation is not received within 1 hour, the clock begins at the time of written confirmation.

The Contractor must support simultaneous deployment preparation for up to two (2) PBCUs, operate and maintain all integrated systems (clinical support infrastructure, power generation/distribution, environmental control, communications), and maintain technical capabilities including electrical/power troubleshooting, generator operations, battery sustainment, ECU testing, HEPA filtration/negative-pressure testing, patient lift system troubleshooting, and field repairs.

The Contractor must implement infection prevention and control measures consistent with current Federal and international guidance, and support real-time logistics functions (inventory management, supply tracking, resupply/repair coordination).

The Contractor must support Government-led clinical teams by ensuring PBCU systems remain functional throughout the mission. The Contractor is not required to, and must not, provide clinical personnel or make patient care or patient movement decisions under this task; those functions are retained exclusively by the Government per Section 18.

Upon mission completion or Government direction, the Contractor must support demobilization, including decontamination, rehabilitation, restocking of consumables, equipment repair/accountability, and preparation for redeployment.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: Deployment frequency cannot be forecasted with precision and may range from no deployments to multiple concurrent deployments annually. The base-IDIQ rate structure for this Task Area is one representative deployment scenario (1 PBCU unit, 1 fourteen-day deployment), priced at contract award to establish the Contractor's fully burdened labor and ODC rates for deployment support. Every actual deployment is ordered and priced through a Task Order; deployments involving multiple simultaneous PBCU units, extended duration, or concurrent Task Orders are surge scenarios addressed in Section 6 and are priced at the Task Order level, not under the base IDIQ.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.3.

5.4 Task 4: Storage and Infrastructure Support

The Contractor must design and construct a covered parking, storage, and maintenance pad to support a trailer-mounted PBCU at a Government-approved location, in accordance with the dimensional, clearance, and electrical infrastructure specifications contained in the Technical Data Package (TDP) referenced in the applicable Task Order, as such TDP may be updated by the Government.

The pad must be engineered to support a minimum load capacity of 55,000 pounds (27.5 tons) and designed/built in accordance with ACI PRC-330.2 (2017; Reapproved 2020), or the then-current superseding edition. All design work must be performed or certified by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the applicable state, bearing the engineer's official seal.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: One pad per year. This task area's base pricing includes Contractor travel for a single round of site assessment per ordered pad; re-assessment travel required due to Government rejection of a proposed site, or a change in Government site requirements after an initial site has been approved, is out of scope of the base rate and must be authorized via ODC or Task Order modification before the Contractor incurs the cost. A Task Order may order more than one pad, in which case the Task Order must state the quantity and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.4.

5.5 Task 5: Maintenance and Readiness Support

The Contractor must perform quarterly readiness inspections and biannual (every 6 months) preventive maintenance for each PBCU. Cadence reconciliation: every quarterly inspection results in a Quarterly Inspection Report; preventive maintenance actions are performed following the 1st and 3rd quarterly inspections of each contract year (approximately 6-month intervals), unless an inspection identifies a deficiency requiring immediate corrective maintenance, in which case maintenance is performed regardless of the biannual schedule. A Task Order may adopt this cadence or specify an alternate cadence appropriate to the number and condition of PBCUs under that Task Order.

Preventive maintenance must include, at minimum: generator startup/operational checks, battery charging/sustainment, ECU testing, HEPA filtration/negative-pressure system testing, patient lift system testing, and verification of operational system functionality. The Contractor must identify components likely to require routine replacement and provide estimated replacement costs for recurring consumables. Major repairs outside routine preventive maintenance must be reported to the Government for approval and funding determination before repair action, and the Contractor must not proceed with major repairs or replacement of heavy equipment without prior written CO authorization.

The Contractor must perform minor/operator-level repairs, maintain inventory accountability and readiness documentation, and maintain maintenance records, inspection documentation, operational logs, troubleshooting records, equipment manuals, and training materials, available to the Government upon request.

Maintenance Scheduling. For each Task Order under this Task Area, the Contractor must propose a maintenance schedule within 10 calendar days of Task Order award. Absent Government objection within 5 calendar days of submission, the proposed schedule is deemed accepted; the COR retains final approval authority at all times.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: quarterly inspections and biannual maintenance support for 2 PBCUs. A Task Order may order support for a different number of PBCUs, in which case the Task Order must state the quantity and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing (scaled from the per-unit base rate).

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.5.

5.6 Task 6: PBCU and Trailer Fabrication Support

The Contractor must provide fabrication, assembly, integration, testing, inspection, and delivery support for new self-sustaining PBCU unit(s) and trailer(s) in accordance with the TDP referenced in the applicable Task Order (including specifications and design developed under contract #75A50323C00031 and any Government-provided modifications to same). The Government's data rights in the referenced TDP are addressed in Section 5.9 (Data Rights) and the acquisition's Justification & Approval documentation, as applicable.

The Contractor must manufacture and integrate all required PBCU and trailer systems, perform quality assurance inspections, operational testing, and system verification before delivery to confirm conformance with the TDP, and coordinate delivery, acceptance inspections, and correction of identified deficiencies before Government acceptance.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: combined fabrication of one (1) self-sustaining PBCU unit and one (1) trailer.

A Task Order may order a different quantity, in which case the Task Order must state the quantity and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.6, and are subject to the Warranty at Section 16.

5.7 Task 7: PBCU and Trailer Modification Support

The Contractor must provide modification, retrofit, repair, upgrade, reconfiguration, integration, testing, and return-to-service support for existing PBCUs and trailers in accordance with Government-provided specifications, TDPs, drawings, and the applicable Task Order. Modification activities may include component installation/replacement, engineering changes, system upgrades, structural or electrical/power modifications, environmental control modifications, or integration of Government-directed capabilities.

The Contractor must perform quality assurance inspections, operational testing, troubleshooting, and verification of all modified systems before their return to operational status, and coordinate all inspections, testing, delivery, and deficiency correction before Government acceptance.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: modification of one (1) PBCU and one (1) trailer. A Task Order may order a different quantity or scope of modification, in which case the Task Order must state the quantity/scope and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.7, and are subject to the Warranty at Section 16.

5.8 Task 8: Model Fabrication

The Contractor must design and fabricate a small-scale physical demonstration model, not exceeding 36 inches in total length, representing a PBCU integrated with a transport trailer, based on the specifications developed under contract #75A50323C00031, for use in demonstration, planning, and stakeholder engagement. Specifications will be determined at the Task Order level.

The model must be constructed of materials durable enough to withstand repeated handling and transport, incorporating a containment chamber structure, trailer frame and mobility components, access points, non-functional ventilation/filtration representations, and Government-specified labeling/markings. The model must be delivered in a case suitable for protected air transport meeting the impact/crush-resistance rating specified in the Task Order.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: fabrication of 1 PBCU model. A Task Order may order additional models, in which case the Task Order must state the quantity and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.8.

5.9 Task 9: Program Management

The Contractor must manage, coordinate, and oversee all PBCU program activities, including coordination with exercise and operational teams; scheduling and coordinating routine inspections; assuring preventive maintenance, system cycling, and consumable replacement; developing and maintaining program management documentation; identifying, assessing, and managing program risks/issues; and supporting Government stakeholders through regular communication and reporting via the Contractor's Program Manager, consistent with Section 18.

Data Rights. The Government receives, at minimum, Government Purpose Rights in all technical data, designs, and deliverables developed specifically for the Government under this contract, including training materials, SOPs, curricula, exercise materials, and any new engineering data developed under Tasks 6 and 7.

The Government receives Unlimited Rights in all training materials, SOPs, quick-reference guides, and programmatic documentation developed under Tasks 1, 2, and 9. Where the Contractor incorporates pre-existing proprietary or commercial technical data into a deliverable, the Contractor must identify and mark such data in accordance with FAR 52.227-14 (Rights in Data — General) or the applicable DFARS-equivalent clause. The Government's rights in the TDP referenced from contract #75A50323C00031 are governed by that contract's terms and are not expanded or diminished by this SOW.

Base-IDIQ Rate Structure: 1 year of PBCU program management support, including initial program design. A Task Order may order a different period or level of program management support, in which case the Task Order must state the scope and apply the corresponding CLIN pricing.

Deliverables for this task, once ordered, are established per the Task Order consistent with the template in Section 10.2.9.

6. SURGE (IF APPLICABLE)

Surge is not a standing task performed under, or priced at, the base IDIQ; it is a capacity requirement described at the IDIQ level and priced exclusively at the Task Order level, when and if actual demand exceeds the base-IDIQ rate structure described in Section 5. No surge work is authorized, and no surge pricing or compensation exists, absent a Task Order (or Task Order modification) that expressly invokes this Section and establishes surge pricing appropriate to that specific requirement.

6.1 Surge Capacity Requirement. The Contractor must maintain the organizational capability to support surge operations and simultaneous Task Orders. For purposes of this Section, "surge capacity" means the Contractor's demonstrated ability to support, concurrently and without degradation of any individual Task Order's performance standards under Section 10: (a) preparation for up to two (2) PBCU deployments under Section 5.3, plus (b) one (1) additional Task Order in any other Task Area described in Section 5. This capability requirement applies at the IDIQ level and is not itself separately priced; it describes a qualification and readiness standard the Contractor must meet throughout the life of the contract.

6.2 Surge Scenarios. Because deployment frequency and concurrency cannot be forecast with precision (Section 5.3), the following are examples of surge scenarios that may arise and be ordered under a Task Order, at the CO's discretion, based on the Government's actual requirement at the time:

• A second concurrent PBCU deployment (in addition to a deployment priced under the Section 5.3 base rate structure);

• A third or subsequent concurrent PBCU deployment;

• Extension of active deployment beyond the 14-day representative period referenced in Section 5.3;

and

• Concurrent performance of a Task 3 deployment together with an active Task Order in any other

Task Area, to the extent this exceeds the Contractor's standing surge capacity under Section 6.1.

This list is illustrative and not exhaustive; the Government may identify and order other surge scenarios consistent with the capability requirement in Section 6.1.

6.3 Task Order-Level Pricing. All surge pricing is negotiated and established at the Task Order level, at the time the surge requirement is identified, consistent with the Contractor's underlying labor rates, methodology, and cost/pricing data submitted under the base IDIQ, and the FAR Part 15 or Part 16 pricing standards applicable to the contract type of the Task Order. No surge rate schedule, tier structure, or pricing mechanism is established under the base IDIQ. The CO retains discretion to negotiate surge pricing for each Task Order based on the specific scope, duration, and concurrency of that requirement.

Acknowledged Trade-Off. The Government recognizes that negotiating surge pricing at the Task Order level, rather than pre-establishing rates at base-IDIQ award, means that surge pricing may be negotiated during or immediately before an active emergency response, at a point when the Government's negotiating leverage is comparatively weaker than during a competitive base-award process and time pressure may constrain the CO's ability to fully evaluate price reasonableness. This risk is accepted in favor of pricing flexibility appropriate to a surge requirement whose scope cannot be reliably forecast at base-IDIQ award.

To mitigate this risk, the CO should, to the extent practicable: (a) reference the Contractor's base-IDIQ labor rates and cost/pricing data as the negotiating floor for any surge Task Order; (b) document the basis for surge pricing reasonableness in the Task Order file notwithstanding the compressed negotiation timeframe; and (c) consider negotiating illustrative surge pricing examples with the Contractor during a non-emergency period (e.g., during an annual program review) to inform, without contractually binding, future surge negotiations.

6.4 Standing Readiness Compensation. To the extent the Contractor's maintenance of standing surge capacity under Section 6.1 (e.g., bench strength, equipment reserves) imposes a cost to the Contractor independent of any specific deployment, and the Government elects to compensate for that standing capacity, such compensation must be established as a distinct CLIN within a Task Order, with the level of readiness and associated cost basis stated explicitly in that CLIN's description. Absent such a CLIN, standing surge capacity is not separately compensated and is assumed to be embedded in the Contractor's proposed rates under Sections 5.1–5.9.

7. CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

The Contractor must provide qualified personnel with demonstrated experience supporting emergency response operations, logistics, training, engineering, maintenance, and HCID operations, sufficient in number and qualification to meet the performance standards in Section 10.

7.1 Key Personnel (IDIQ Level)

Project Manager, and any other Key Personnel position, are required to be designated at the IDIQ level; the Project Manager is a Key Personnel role required only at the Task Order level, with the named individual and alternate identified in the applicable task order.

The Project Manager is Key Personnel and is responsible for the performance of the work under this contract. The Contractor must designate, in writing to the CO, the name of this individual and an alternate who will act for the Contractor when the Project Manager is absent. The Project Manager or alternate must have full authority to act for the Contractor on all contract matters relating to daily operation of the contract.

During normal operations, the Project Manager or alternate must be available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays, unless otherwise directed by the Government. During public health emergencies, outbreak responses, activations, deployments, or other ASPR-directed emergency operations, the Project Manager or alternate must be available on a 24/7 basis, as required to support mission requirements, incident coordination, operational decision-making, and Government communications.

Nothing in this section authorizes Government personnel to supervise, direct the daily work assignments of, or otherwise exercise direct control over individual Contractor employees; all direction must flow through the Contractor's Project Manager.

The Contractor must ensure continuity of management oversight and maintain the capability to support rapid-response operations, surge activities, and time-sensitive mission requirements during both readiness and emergency response periods.

7.1.2 Program/Project Manager Tasks

The Program/Project Manager responsibilities must include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Providing overall program leadership, management, coordination, and supervision of Contractor personnel and subcontractors.

• Serving as the primary liaison between the Contractor and the Government, including the CO and

COR.

• Managing day-to-day contract operations and ensuring timely execution of all task areas, deliverables, and operational requirements.

• Developing, maintaining, and implementing the Project Management Plan (PMP), schedules, staffing plans, and operational tracking tools, including pediatric capability confirmation per Section 2.3.1.

• Monitoring contract performance, staffing levels, deliverables, milestones, risks, and resource utilization.

• Coordinating training, exercise, deployment, operational support, and technical assistance activities performed under the contract.

• Ensuring Contractor personnel maintain required qualifications, licenses, certifications, training, medical clearances, and deployment readiness, as enumerated in Attachment [X] – Personnel Qualification Matrix, updated only by bilateral modification.

• Overseeing the Contractor's quality control and quality assurance processes to ensure services and deliverables meet contract requirements.

• Identifying performance, operational, staffing, technical, and schedule risks, and implementing corrective or mitigation actions.

• Coordinating surge staffing and rapid-response support during emergencies, deployments, exercises, activations, or ASPR-directed events.

• Ensuring compliance with applicable federal laws, regulations, policies, safety requirements, infection prevention and control standards, privacy requirements, and security procedures.

• Managing subcontractor performance and integration into overall contract operations.

• Preparing and submitting required reports, briefings, plans, operational updates, status reports, and financial tracking reports.

• Supporting Government meetings, planning sessions, readiness reviews, audits, inspections, and operational coordination activities.

• Maintaining effective communication with Government stakeholders regarding contract status, emerging issues, and mission support activities.

• Coordinating transition, closeout, knowledge transfer, and continuity of operations activities as directed by the Government, consistent with Section 22.

• Developing and maintaining a project plan and schedule identifying major tasks, deliverables, milestones, timelines, and anticipated support activities, updated as necessary throughout the period of performance.

The Contractor must ensure that all personnel assigned to this effort are appropriately qualified, trained, licensed, and credentialed, as applicable to their assigned duties. Contractor personnel must comply with all applicable federal, state, local, HHS, ASPR, occupational safety, infection prevention and control, and environmental health and safety requirements. The Contractor must maintain and enforce safety procedures designed to protect personnel, patients, facilities, equipment, and the public during all training, operational, deployment, and support activities.

The Government reserves the right to review and approve Key Personnel qualifications and to require replacement of personnel who do not meet contract requirements or whose performance is unsatisfactory.

7.1.3 Replacement of Key Personnel

Before replacing any individual designated as Key Personnel, the Contractor must notify the CO and COR no less than 15 business days in advance, submit written justification for the replacement, and provide the name and qualifications of the proposed substitute. All proposed substitutes must possess qualifications equal to or superior to those of the Key Personnel being replaced. The Contractor must not replace Key Personnel without CO approval.

8. KICKOFF MEETING

The Contractor must attend a kickoff meeting with the CO and COR within 10 calendar days of Task Order award (or contract award, for the base IDIQ), at a date, time, and location (or virtual platform) specified by the COR. At minimum, the kickoff meeting must address the following: points of contact and communication protocols; the Contractor's proposed schedule and approach for the Task Order;

Government-furnished property/information to be provided; security and access requirements; and any outstanding administrative requirements. The Contractor must submit a kickoff meeting agenda for COR approval no later than 3 calendar days before the meeting, and meeting minutes to the COR within 3 calendar days following the meeting.

9. MONTHLY REPORTS

For each active Task Order, the Contractor must submit a Monthly Progress Report to the COR no later than the 5th business day of each month, covering the prior month's activity under that Task Order. At minimum, each Monthly Progress Report must include: work completed against the Task Order schedule; deliverable status; staffing status, including any Key Personnel changes; risks and issues, with proposed mitigation;

funding/cost status against the Task Order ceiling; and a forward-looking summary of activities planned for the following month. Monthly Progress Reports are in addition to, and do not substitute for, the task-specific deliverables established in the applicable Task Order per Section 10.

If no Task Order is active in a given month, no Monthly Progress Report is due under this Section; the Contractor's base-IDIQ reporting obligations in that circumstance are limited to the contract-wide deliverables identified in Section 10.1.

10. DELIVERABLES

This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. No work, and no task-specific deliverable, is authorized or due under this base SOW absent a written Task Order (TO) issued by the CO. Accordingly, this Section identifies only the deliverables that apply at the base-contract level, independent of whether or how many Task Orders are issued.

Task-specific deliverables (i.e., the specific reports, plans, milestones, and acceptance criteria associated with performance of Tasks 1 through 9 described in Section 5) are not fixed in this base SOW. Each Task Order must establish its own deliverable schedule, due dates, and acceptance criteria appropriate to the specific requirement, period of performance, and CLIN structure of that Task Order, consistent with the task descriptions in Section 5 and the deliverable categories and minimum content standards identified below for reference. The illustrative due dates and acceptance criteria in Section 10.2 are provided as a drafting template for Task Order Contracting Officers/CORs to tailor at the time of TO issuance, and do not themselves impose an obligation on the Contractor under the base IDIQ.

All deliverables, whether established at the base-contract level or within a Task Order, must be submitted to the COR in electronic format, are subject to COR review and CO acceptance consistent with the applicable inspection clause (FAR 52.246-4 or equivalent), and must be revised and resubmitted by the Contractor within the timeframe specified by the COR at no additional cost to the Government if deficiencies are identified.
