About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for a Defense Health Agency (DHA) contract to implement and manage two digital physical therapy pilot programs serving military beneficiaries.
The contract requires the contractor to establish and operate a Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy Pilot Program and a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Pilot Program. For the musculoskeletal program, the contractor must enroll active-duty service members and spouses at CONUS locations (including Portsmouth), OCONUS locations (Bahrain), and operational environments with barriers to traditional PT access, targeting full enrollment within six months. The pelvic floor program specifically targets active-duty servicewomen at Fort Cavazos, Texas, associated with CRDAMC Medical Center. Both programs require the contractor to establish eligibility verification mechanisms, develop outcome/value-based billing processes, create multi-channel marketing plans, establish data-sharing protocols, deploy electronic enrollment forms, conduct virtual clinical assessments with Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) or Pelvic Health Specialist (PHS) clinicians, ship proprietary FDA-listed biofeedback devices independent of internet connectivity, deliver virtual therapy sessions with real-time feedback, maintain clinical oversight with asynchronous analytics, provide continuous beneficiary engagement support, generate near real-time daily dashboards tracking enrollments and clinical outcomes, deliver monthly enrollment and engagement reports, produce quarterly business review reports, and prepare end-of-pilot impact reports with ROI estimations (if enrollment exceeds 500 members for musculoskeletal program). The contractor must assign dedicated Customer Success Managers, conduct site-specific kickoff events at both CONUS and OCONUS locations including Naval Station Bahrain, maintain structured communication channels, enable participants to generate electronic clinical summaries for incorporation into medical records, and document key insights and lessons learned. Deliverables include a Quality Program Plan within 30 days of award, weekly hardware distribution lists, monthly reports, marketing materials, basic self-assessments at award and annually thereafter, and end-of-pilot impact reports. All work is unclassified and requires compliance with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements, DoD training and certification standards for information assurance personnel, data sharing agreements through DHA's Privacy and Civil Liberties Office, cyber incident reporting within 72 hours to the DoD Cyber Crime Center, and connection to the DHA B2B Gateway for external system connectivity.

6.3.1. Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs): Contractors requiring access to PII, which includes PHI, or access to de-identified data, are subject to the DHA Privacy and Civil Liberties Office (DPCLO) (Privacy Office) Data Sharing Program. This program requires DHA to enter into DSAs with parties outside the MHS who use or create MHS data. A DHA contract may use the term Data Use Agreement (DUA) rather than DSA. DSAs assure that outside parties protect MHS data in accordance with the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Rules. To apply for a DSA, the contractor submits a Data Sharing Agreement Application (DSAA) to the DHA DPCLO. The contractor submits the DSAA even if a subcontractor will be the party accessing MHS data.
After review and approval of the DSAA, the Privacy Office provides a DSA to the contractor for execution.
6.3.2. Processing Procurement Sensitive Information: All individuals shall seek guidance from the CO regarding the coordination of documents, dissemination, and transmission of procurement sensitive information. Procurement sensitive information shall not be transmitted electronically unless encryption is utilized. Depending on a particular procurement, other restrictions may apply.
