SECTION 3: STAEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work Medical Direction and Training Contract For

Operational Medicine Program

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration

1. Background

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) maintains a mature Operational Medicine Program (OMP) (also known as Tactical Emergency Medical Support, or TEMS) for approximately 400 world-wide assigned employees who are certified National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) Paramedics (NRP), Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMT), and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT). These OMP members provide local support for thousands of enforcement operations and high-risk training events each quarter. The vast majority of these medics are Special Agents (SA), while a small subset are employees from other job series to include deputized Task Force Officers. For all, the medic duties and responsibilities are a minor collateral responsibility to their principal DEA jobs.

As with other federal law enforcement agencies and the military services, NREMT recognizes DEA as a unique entity for certification (“51st State” designation). Therefore, OMP members do not normally maintain separate state EMT certification, unless as a requirement to engage in (as a volunteer) specific local clinical opportunities (i.e. “ride-along”). To the extent that NREMT certification is recognized as a valid health care professional standard, it is the minimum for all program members to possess.

The DEA OMP is relatively unique as an Emergency Medical Service (EMS). Its members are well-educated, highly-motivated professionals who must maintain medical proficiency in addition to their law enforcement responsibilities, though in most cases having limited experience in treating real patients. It is imperative that training courses provided by the Contractor be as realistic, rigorous and medically sound as possible, and maximize hands-on, scenario based small group instruction and mentoring. This includes repetitive instruction in basic TEMS skills and selected relatively advanced interventions, all to a high caliber while taking full advantage of limited training opportunities. The program requires members to attend a minimum of two one-week training courses every two years and to engage in clinical opportunities.

OMP members work in a variety of offices and environments. Some are assigned to dense urban locations ostensibly close to Level I trauma centers, though they may find themselves treating a gunshot wound victim on the top floor of a skyscraper. Others work in rural environments far from definitive care and during severe weather, such as in the Rocky Mountains or conducting lengthy nighttime foot patrol marijuana eradication operations against remote sites guarded by armed criminals and booby traps. Many members also have the collateral duty of being assigned to divisional Special Response Teams (SRT) conducting high-risk warrant service missions.

Because the potential is real for needing to render relatively advanced pre-hospital medical interventions before handing casualties off to higher care, OMP members have been authorized an Expanded Scope of Practice (ESP) beyond conventional EMTs. For example, though not all inclusive, ESP skills include providing peripheral intravenous (IV) therapy, insertion and maintenance of supraglottic airway, needle chest decompression, standing order administration of some medications, limb tourniquet application, etc. The Contractor should expect to concur with, and sufficiently train on, these interventions.

The DEA OMP is overseen by a subject matter expert (SME) GS-14 Program Manager (PM), who will be the Contractor source of direction and guidance for the Government in all technical aspects of execution. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall be the first line point of contact for all contractual issues not related.

2. Scope

As DEA does not presently maintain an organic capability to provide certain TEMS courses and medical direction, a Contractor relationship is sought for procurement. Specific work descriptions and tasks are delineated below.

3. Medical Control

3.1 Medical Director

The Contractor shall provide a physician to be the designated Medical Director under whose license hospital and pre-hospital care is rendered by OMP members and training courses and associated DEA TEMS medical programs are conducted.

3.1a Qualifications

The Medical Director shall be an allopathic or osteopathic physician possessing a current, permanent, full unrestricted license in good standing to practice medicine in the District of Columbia or any U.S. state.

The Medical Director shall have successfully completed an emergency medicine residency and be certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine.

The Medical Director should provide documentation as a full-time attending emergency medicine physician (a minimum of 40 hours per week) at a Level I trauma center verified and evaluated by the American College of Surgeons, or equivalent accreditation.

The Medical Director shall have documented and verifiable minimum 10 years experience in TEMS provision and management to federal and/or state or local law enforcement agencies.

The Medical Director should have documented and verifiable experience in military tactical medicine and previous U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) assignment.

4. Medical Training Courses

All courses shall be developed in conjunction with guidance provided by the OMP PM for content and methods of instruction. Courses are held based on Government needs and availability of funds. As much scheduling advance notice as possible will be provided to the Contractor.

Where necessary, the components of Contractor-provided training curriculums shall be accredited so as to be accepted by NREMT for Initial Certification and National Continued Competency Program. Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education (CAPCE) or equivalent approvals may be used to fulfill these requirements which will be acquired at the expense of the Contractor. These are minimum standards for psychomotor (hands-on) and didactic instruction, as the Government expects to procure the highest quality, most relevantly demanding Programs of Instruction (POI) for delivery to its personnel.

Except for Train-the-Trainer (TtT) courses, certain core skills shall be taught and/or refreshed at every class. These include review of OMP medical treatment protocols, drug formulary, and Patient Care Report (PCR) preparation.

4.1 EMT Certification Course

This 160-hour (four weeks) course will devote the first 120 hours to preparing students to pass the NREMT psychomotor and written examinations to become EMTs. The course will follow National EMS Core Content requirements. On the weekend after the third week of training, students will take the Cognitive Exam at a local Pearson Vue test center. The Contractor will coordinate with NREMT and Pearson Vue to make arrangements and preregistrations as necessary. The Government will pay NREMT and exam fees. The Contractor will provide to each student via mail at least three weeks prior to the course beginning a textbook which meets the National EMS Education Standard Competencies and any other appropriate preparatory learning material. The Contractor will pay Basic Life Support for Health Care Providers (BLSHCP) certification fees. The fourth week of training is to prepare the new EMTs to more confidently provide medical support for DEA enforcement operations by building on the core curriculum. This is best accomplished by execution of a Tactical Medicine Course POI, as described below. It is anticipated that one EMT Certification Course may be required each year for approximately 30 students.

4.2 Medical Skills Sustainment Course

This 40-hour (five-day) training is to provide Continuing Education that of itself is sufficient for NREMT biennial recertification for EMTs, and 40 hours toward AEMT and NRP recertification. If the Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Course or similar POI is included within the 40-hours, individual student certifications and textbooks will be at the expense of the Contractor. BLSHCP certification shall be provided at each iteration and individual card fees are at the expense of the Contractor. In all cases, maximizing small group, scenario-based instruction, drills and skills stations is expected.

Classroom lecture is to be included only to the extent necessary to put anatomy, physiology and theoretical instruction into context for the medics in preparing them to treat patients. It is anticipated that four to seven Medical Skills Sustainment Courses may be required each year with approximately 30 students attending each course.

4.3 Tactical Medical Course

This 40-hour (five-day) training is to provide Continuing Education for OMP members with emphasis on how best to medically support DEA SRT or similar high-risk enforcement operations. The course may include the current edition Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) POI, but earning that provider certification will be at the expense of the Contractor. Small group scenario based training should be included to the extent reasonably possible. The DEA PM can assist in providing SME SRT member(s) consultation for the development of appropriate scenarios. Medical Threat Assessment preparation as part of overall mission planning should be taught. The Government can provide items such as tactical vests, holsters and helmets, communication devices (e.g.

radios), Simunition weapons and ammunition, and protective masks for temporary issue to the students during scenario training. It is anticipated that four Tactical Medical Courses may be required each year with approximately 24 students attending each course.

4.4 Austere Medicine Courses

This course may be presented in three versions. All will be to provide 40-hour (five-day) Continuing Education courses for approximately 24 students. It is anticipated that a total of four Austere Medicine Courses may be required each year and that the versions presented will rotate in order. Should potential student demand signals indicate, a particular version may be repeated more frequently.

4.4.1 Austere Medicine Course – Prolonged Field Care

The course teaches critical care skills for the advanced EMT with ESP to manage patients in an austere environment for up to 24 hours. The POI should follow current Prolonged Field Care (PFC) tenets as promulgated by the PFC Working Group. Minor surgical skills (e.g. simple suturing, surgical cricothyrotomy) may be taught using appropriate training models. Nursing care and patient packaging and transport skills should be competently demonstrated by the students. A 24-hour multiple casualty field scenario may be conducted.

4.4.2 Austere Medicine Course – Disaster Medicine

DEA is a member of the whole of government Emergency Support Function – 13 (ESF-

13) initiative and able to deploy on short notice divisional teams of SAs to provide security and other support in cases of natural disasters. A number of OMP members have received the standard DEA ESF-13 training and volunteer for call-outs to provide medical care for their teams and civilians in disaster areas. This course will better prepare the medics to have the skills necessary. Minor surgical skills, nursing care, and patient packaging and transport techniques should be competently demonstrated by the students. The course should follow appropriate to the student level material as described in Disaster Medicine textbook (Ciottone, 2nd edition, Elsevier publisher), or other relevant reference.

4.4.3 Austere Medicine Course – Wilderness Medicine

This course focus is on providing critical care for patients in the wilderness setting.

Ideally, successful completion will earn the student a provider credential from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) Wilderness Medicine for the Professional Practitioner Course at Contractor expense. The curriculum will focus on backcountry medicine, to include improvised techniques, simple high angle and other rescue methods, and PFC modalities, especially during patient transportation.

4.5 Narcan TtT Instructor Course

This 24-hour (three-day) course is to prepare OMP members as instructors to deliver half-day Narcan training and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) certification in their divisional offices to non-medic SAs and other personnel. The course will include lessons on how to teach Narcan administration and airway management, Adult Learning Theory, and certify the students as CPR Instructors. Credentialing of the students as CPR Instructors will be at Government expense. The last day of training will consist of the students being evaluated by the Contractor instructors as they provide real instruction to assembled DEA personnel. It is anticipated that one Narcan TtT Course may be required each year for approximately 18 students.

4.6 TECC Instructor Course

This 56-hour (seven days, not counting the weekend) will focus the first five days on TECC protocols from the perspective of training divisional non-medic SAs and other personnel, developing lessons plans, setting up training skill stations and scenario sites, execution, and post-course evaluation. The final two days will be for the students to deliver a Contractor instructor-evaluated TECC training course for assembled DEA personnel. Students who successfully complete this TtT course will receive National Association of EMTs TECC Instructor certification at the Contractor expense. It is anticipated that one TECC Instructor Course may be required each year for approximately 18 students. Priority will be given to enrolling OMP members who also belong to their divisional SRT.

4.7 General Training Conditions

4.7.1 Courses will be conducted by the Contractor at locations provided by the Government, but usually at DEA Quantico and/or Stafford, Virginia, facilities.

Classrooms and skill stations space will be appropriately conducive to learning in size and layout. Medical scenarios will be executed usually at tactical training sites in Quantico. If deemed advantageous to the Government, an occasional particular course may be considered for execution at the Contractor’s facility or third-party location at no extra cost.

4.7.2 All lectures and presentations shall be supported by hard copy student handouts provided by the Contractor in advance of content delivery, as well as providing any other potentially useful graphic training aids. These material shall be provided to and approved at least 15 days in advance of each course by the OMP PM.

4.7.3 During training courses the Contractor should provide on-site logistical support by an individual who ideally has medical background or expertise.

4.7.4 At Government expense, role players can be provided for some medical training scenarios when use of fellow students might detract from overall instruction. These limited expertise role players will be coached by the Contractor instructors to properly act based on injuries and/or illnesses necessitated by the scenario. Only simulated invasive procedures can be performed on the civilian role players. Should the medical problem call for an invasive procedure during the scenario, IV therapy for example, the treating student will perform the task live on a DEA teammate. In order to coordinate with the role player company, requests for role player assistance must be received by the PM at least 15 days in advance of course start day.

4.7.5 The Government can provide limited rubber moulage wound items to augment Contractor equipment during medical scenario training. The Contractor should provide all other material for ensuring the most realistic scenarios possible, e.g. skin colored Coban for securing moulage, used clothing for destruction during simulated treatments, fake blood, etc.

4.7.6 The Contractor shall provide all necessary expendable and hard item products for use during medical training. For example, real IV practice among students will be conducted nearly every training day. So considerable supplies are expended during those efforts and should be planned for accordingly. The Contractor shall use in training appropriate expendable items so that, for example, bandages spotted with fake blood, or moldable splints past their utility, are not provided to students. Hard items, such as aid bags and litters, must be selected to be the same quality and standard that program members would carry in the field. Non-serviceable items shall not be provided to students.

4.7.7 Alternative training models, such as computerized or mechanical manikins, or other adjuncts may be used during courses, but will be provided at Contractor expense.

4.7.8 During training courses, any attending AEMT and NRP members will be challenged by adapting, wherever possible, material appropriate for their knowledge base, and without detracting from the EMT provider’s learning experience.

4.7.9 Formal Contractor course critiques will not be conducted. The DEA Office of Training has an established mandatory end-of-course critique mechanism. Relevant comments and statistical information from these evaluations will be provided to the Contractor by the PM, as deemed necessary.

4.7.10 No still or video photography of training activities by the Contractor will be conducted. SAs are expected to work undercover operations when required by an investigation. The risk of having their identities made public or in any hands from which it could be leaked necessitates this stipulation.

4.8 Contract Instructors

The Contractor shall provide four instructors for each training course, not to include the on-site logistician. Two exceptions are the first three weeks of the EMT Certification Course and the entire Narcan TtT Course, when three instructors will be sufficient.

For each course, a primary instructor is designated to manage the others and be the primary Point of Contact (POC) for the PM.

All instructors must possess current medical certifications (at least NRP), and have extensive (a minimum of five years) current or recent verifiable operational experience in delivery of high-level medical care in civilian EMS, military unit (preferably SOCOM assignment), and/or TEMS.

At least one instructor present at the fourth week of the EMT Certifying, Medical Skills Sustainment, Tactical Medicine, all Austere Medicine, and the TECC TtT Courses should have verifiable experience teaching at the small group level while assigned to a SOCOM medical training institution.

Resumes or medical curriculum vitae for all members of an instructor group shall be on file from previous courses and potential new ones sent to the PM at least 15 days prior to the beginning of a course. They shall be reviewed for conformance to required experience, certifications, and propriety. Any previously accepted instructor can be denied in the future without reason, based on experience by the Government at a course.

For continuity and consistency, as much as possible based on normal job assignments and specific subject matter expertise, the same instructors who are well-received by the students, as relayed by the PM, should be assigned to the courses.

4.8.1 Instructor Travel

In order to fulfill course instructor requirements within the Statement of Work, it is expected that Contractor personnel will travel to the selected DEA location. Travel will be on a cost reimbursement basis only and governed by Federal Travel Regulations (FTR), to include DOJ/DEA supplements to the FTR, as if for any DEA employee.

For Temporary Duty travel, detailed cost estimates shall be submitted to the designated Government representative at least 10 business days in advance for approval.

Within five business days of travel end of mission, or every two weeks if so desired by the Contractor for the four week EMT Certifying Course, the Contractor shall submit the supporting documentation as one package for reimbursement to the designated Government representative. The documentation shall include the following information:

traveler name(s), contract number, Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) and a breakdown of actual travel costs with receipts.

Commuting expenses will not be reimbursed for any locally residing instructor.

5. Operational Support

5.1 The Contractor shall establish and maintain a 24/7/365 phone line for OMP members to contact the Medical Director, or his/her temporary designee who is also a physician, for immediate consultation regarding an unfolding medical emergency. If deemed the best solution, the Contractor can enter into an agreement with a commercial or in-hospital answering service that ensures prompt response, though this will be done at Contractor expense.

5.2 The Contractor shall provide to the PM for dissemination to OMP members, or directly during training courses, phone numbers and/or email addresses of the Medical Director and equivalent high-level Contractor-associated providers to use in non-urgent circumstances, e.g. questions regarding a medical patient, PCR preparation advice, etc.

5.3 On occasion, not likely to exceed 24 times per year, the Contractor may be contacted by program members to assist with area or specific Medical Threat Assessment documents. As much lead time as possible should be expected, but some operational circumstances may dictate short turn around. This could be for Continental United States (CONUS) or Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations and may take the form of general medical intelligence information and/or material.

5.4 The Contractor shall provide standardized blank PCR form(s) for members to use in recording significant patient contacts. A PCR preparation handbook in both hard and soft copy shall be provided to all members. A system of PCR quality assurance (QA) shall be established by the Contractor to review all submissions for propriety of treatments and to provide constructive feedback to the submitter. For overall situational awareness, all PCRs shall be shared upon receipt with the OMP PM in un-redacted form. As well, all subsequent QA feedback will be shared with the PM.

5.5 The Contractor shall author and provide in soft copies a complete medical protocols handbook and drug formulary appropriate for the level of program providers. These shall be submitted to the PM within 60 days of contract award. A formal documented process shall be implemented to review the products every six months, and update as necessary based on experience and evolving science.

5.6 The OMP PM will maintain a site on the DEA virtual private network (VPN) accessible only by current program members to post soft copy and printable materials, such as blank PCRs and handbook, medical protocols, drug formulary, oxygen prescription, and other useful documents. If the Contractor chooses to maintain a similar online application, DEA material and information must be restricted from the public and separate from any other possible client.

5.7 The Contractor must have a formal agreement with an academic Level I trauma center that provides multiple post-residency fellowship training programs in disciplines such as TEMS, EMS, Disaster Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, Global Health, and associated research. The contractor should expect to leverage this institution and depth of expertise wherever advantageous for the overall quality of the OMP. At a minimum, the following three areas are critical for supporting:

5.7.1 The trauma center must be able to permit clinical opportunities for OMP members on an as available basis. Proctored clinical time is required to perform and/or observe procedures appropriate for the provider level to gain real patient contact experience. This requirement may be fulfilled on an hourly basis during multiple shifts on a temporary duty status to allow for variations in member availability. As is usual throughout medicine, these clinical opportunities will be at no additional cost to the Government, be done on an occasional volunteer-type basis, and enable OMP members to be mentored by Registered Nurses, NRPs or other appropriate health care professional employee of the hospital. The Contractor will maintain close coordination with the OMP PM to ensure the number of members availing themselves of this program requirement at any given time does not unduly burden the facility. For OMP members, no individual state certification shall be needed beyond NREMT.

5.7.2 SME participation in development and/or delivery of the specialized courses, especially Austere Medicine versions, is sought, especially by post-residency fellows.

5.7.3 The trauma center shall possess telemedicine and remote video medical consultation to provide immediate support for OMP members during an on-going patient encounter.

5.8 The Contractor will establish medical protocols and provide oversight to support the use of naloxone (Narcan) use by trained DEA personnel. This includes post-incident review of Narcan administration.

5.9 The Statement of Work may be modified to provide additional operational support within scope to benefit the mission of OMP members and the agency.

6. Administrative Matters

6.1 Upon receipt of an authorizing letter copy from the PM to NREMT, and for the life of the contract unless rescinded, the Contractor shall maintain relationship on behalf of the program to establish affiliating agency/state status, and act in the roles of Medical Director, Training Officer for continuing education, and Program Manager to verify new medics.

6.1.1 The Contractor shall enter earned Continuing Education credits in a timely manner into each individual program member’s NREMT record. As NREMT biennial recertification cycle is approached, the Contractor will communicate with sufficient lead time when a member can complete the administrative process and pay the fee.

6.1.2 If accredited courses are successfully attended outside of the Contractor-provided training, those Continuing Education credits shall be entered into the respective account as submitted by the member to the Contractor. This may include distance learning courses and/or modules.

6.1.3 Subject to PM approval, on occasion DEA personnel are able to attend an outside EMT Certifying Course. If accepted into the program by the PM, those new members will be approved by the Contractor for affiliation. As soon as their enforcement work schedule permits, these new EMTs will attend a program course in order to be certified in ESP skills and indoctrinated into formulary use and protocols.

6.2 If the Contractor maintains a public website, no reference to DEA or the Department of Justice is permitted regarding program information or the Government/Contractor relationship.

6.3 Program-wide messaging, such as email correspondence, shall only be initiated by the PM, with input from the Contractor as necessary.

6.4 Should any OMP member and/or DEA office contact the Contractor for additional training or other support, the PM shall be informed prior to consummation to ensure there is no conflict with program goals.

6.5 The Contractor shall not unilaterally offer to OMP members any training or products outside of this contract without prior approval of the PM.

6.6 Inclusion to the medical protocols of any contemplated new basic and/or advanced skills, techniques, equipment, and/or medications must be discussed between and approved by the PM and Medical Director prior to release.

6.7 The Medical Director and PM shall conduct a coordination meeting every month either face-to-face during a training course, or at least telephonically.

6.8 The relationship between the Contractor and PM is envisioned as a partnership.

Aside from internal Contractor business, there will be no aspect of the program withheld from the PM. The common goal is to provide members the most appropriate, innovative, and high-quality support possible.

7. Deliverables

7.1 Within 30 days after each calendar year quarter, the Contractor shall provide to the PM and COR a report which documents number of submitted PCRs by short Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Act of 1996-compliant description and the aggregate number of times medics have been utilized in the field to support enforcement operations and training events. The PM can assist in gathering the supporting data by communicating with OMP members.

7.2 The Contractor shall provide Ad Hoc reports and/or briefings on an as needed basis.

7.3 Upon contract award, the contractor shall schedule and coordinate a Project Kick-Off Meeting at a location and time approved by the Government. The meeting shall provide an introduction between the contractor personnel and Government personnel and provide the opportunity to discuss technical, management, transition, security issues, and reporting procedures. At a minimum, the attendees shall include key contractor personnel, the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

8. Period of Performance

The period of performance is from the effective date of the contract through three-hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive days with four (4) successive twelve (12) month option periods. Pursuant to clause 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract, in the event that the Contracting Officer exercises an option, the period of performance for each option period shall be as follows:

9. Security Requirements

9.1 Throughout the life of the contract, the Contractor shall comply with Exhibit 1 - DEA Security Provision, DEA-2852.204-83, Public Trust Positions – Security Requirements for Access to DEA Sensitive Information/U.S. Citizenship Required (October 2015).

9.2 Personnel Security Requirements

The personnel security access level for this contract is Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU).

Only U.S. citizens shall be permitted to perform services on this contract. Under no circumstances shall contractors have access to National Security Information (NSI) or NSI systems. The risk level associated with this contract is “Moderate” and the personnel working on this contract effort must undergo the appropriate background investigation or be issued a waiver by the Office of Security Programs, Personnel Security Section (ISR) prior to commencing work on this contract. ISR will conduct suitability reviews on all contractor personnel requiring access to DEA facilities, information technology systems, or SBU materials. ISR will make a final suitability determination on each contractor meeting the specified requirements.
