Human Performance Optimization (HPO) Services

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

v1.1 22 June 2023

1. General

1.1. Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph

3.0 as Government Furnished Material, to perform evaluations, assessments, and all other required duties as defined in this PWS.

1.2. Background: Special Warfare Airmen (SWA)/Tactical Air Control Party (TACP)/ID Air National Guard (ANG) Members must always be ready to perform at their peak to accomplish their challenging mission set. Attaining and maintaining this level of peak human performance requires the implementation of a top-notch physical conditioning and maintenance program comparable to those seen in Olympic-level and professional sports organizations. The Human Performance Optimization (HPO) program will focus on the whole member concept to not only assist ID ANG in accomplishing their military missions in the short term, but also to emphasize the maintenance of peak performance over the long term to lengthen the service life of the "human weapon system” while ensuring high quality production. This long-term perspective means the HPO program must include rehabilitative services to provide rapid recovery from injuries and performance services to provide focused physical and mental conditioning. When a member is degraded or de-conditioned, individualized, and specialized care is required to rapidly restore his physical capabilities prior to returning him to full-mission-capable status. Hence, as professional athletes are supported by an integrated professional sports model that tailors performance programs to accomplish the mission at peak levels, members require the same level of support to perform as tactical athletes and must have a comparable HPO program. A successful program consists of two positions: Athletic Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Specialist. The ANG/A3J HPO program manager will have direct oversight of this program to ensure program integrity and continuity. Each unit commander will designate unit-level HPO program managers. This person will compile and send data/reports when requested by the ANG/A3J HPO program manager.

2. Period of Performance (PoP). The Period of Performance shall be for one (Base) year with one Option Year.
