All services shall be provided in accordance with established standards, principles and ethics of the profession and applicable professional specialty organizations, The Joint Commission (JC) standards, applicable Department of Defense (DoD) and Army specific regulations, directives, and policies, and military treatment facility (MTF) specific policies, procedures, and job descriptions.

1.3. RESERVED

1. 4. This contract is a non-personal services contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the government and its employees.

2.0 BACKGROUND.

2.1. The mission of the military healthcare system (MHS) is to ensure the nation has available at all times a healthy military force supported by a combat ready healthcare system. Health care services for eligible MHS beneficiaries are provided at military treatment facilities (MTFs) located on or near military installations or posts. The military treatment facility may be a clinic, Hospital, or Medical Center. Clinics are outpatient facilities offering primary care or simple specialty care (routine exams, tests, treatments). The Clinic may be a stand-alone site or a satellite of a larger Clinic, Hospital, or Medical Center. Army Community Hospitals (ACH) offer more complex, resource-intensive secondary care (e.g. inpatient care, surgery under anesthesia) and primary care at outpatient clinics inside and outside the hospital. Army Medical Centers (MEDCENs) offer tertiary (sophisticated diagnosis/treatment of any ailment), secondary, and primary care, hospital services, preventive services, blood bank, and other services. In addition, all MEDCENs offer graduate medical education programs for physicians.

2.2. The Entomology Section, Department of Public Health, BDAACH Korea, requires services to assist with a comprehensive mosquito-, tick-, and rodent-borne disease surveillance program funded by the Defense Health Agency Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division-Global Emerging Infections Surveillance program(AFHSD- GEIS). The Vector-borne Disease Surveillance Program will be managed by a local COR with consultation with the Chief, Entomology Section, BDAACH-Korea.
