PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Medical/Dental Non-clinical Nurse Case Management, Care Coordination, and Medical Operations Management Services

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform Medical/Dental Nurse Case Management and Medical Administrative Support Services, as defined in this PWS. The purpose of this requirement is to provide Medical and Dental Case Management and Medical Administrative Support staffing in support of Individual Medical Readiness (IMR) soldiers in the South Dakota Army National Guard who require case management services to resolve issues that are making them non-deployable assets. This requirement is designed to be flexible, responsive, and meet the ever-evolving needs of the government. DoDI 6025.19 establishes aggressive quarterly and annual metric goals for the separate IMR elements and for the overall IMR category of Fully Medically Ready (FMR) soldiers. The ultimate goals are to produce real-time reports based on complete, accurate data; including the coordination and treatment of Dental Readiness Class (DRC) 3/4 soldiers to DRC 1 or DRC 2 status. The minimum goal for overall medical and dental readiness is more than 90% of Service members FMR, with the ideal goal being 100%. The SD Army National Guard (SDARNG) Surgeon’s Office requires a highly responsive process whereby the government can quickly obtain needed support and services for Case management of SDARNG Soldiers. This PWS reflects existing National Guard Bureau policies and regulations.

1.1.1 SDARNG Office of the State Surgeon’s (OSS) requires experienced Nurse Case Managers and medical administrative support staff. The administrative support staff may be filled at a minimum by a prior or current military Medic/Corpsman, or by an applicant with at least one year of relevant medical background such as a medical records clerk or health unit clerk. Nurse Case Managers should have a minimum of BSN and valid license within the State of South Dakota.

1.1.2 The Contractor shall furnish all labor and services required to provide a wide range of Medical and Dental Case Management and related Medical Administrative support services.

1.1.3 The Nurse Case Management and medical administrative support staff will be responsible for working with all assigned soldiers in the SDARNG. The location of the contract management services hub will be the SDARNG 2823 West Main Street, Rapid City, SD, 57702.

1.1.4 The contractor shall provide all labor and services required to provide a wide range of medical and dental case management quality assurance and quality control to include oversight of all case management and related medical administrative services. Contractor will ensure daily review, spot checks, and remedial training for discrepancies discovered in medical systems. Contractor will provide oversight and for Service Treatment Record (STR) maintenance and management and create standardized operating procedures for medical records maintenance.

1.1.5 The contractor shall provide credentialing and privileging services for all SDARNG medical, dental, and behavioral health providers.

1.1.6 Period of Performance (PoP): Will consist of a Base period of 1 year and three possible 12 month option periods.

Background: The Department of Defense (DoD) TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) values all staff involved in the delivery of high-quality care to service members. In 2009, a Medical Management Guide was issued by the

Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD [HA]) and TMA, Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO), Population Health and Medical Management Division (PHMMD). The Guide covers the components of a Medical Management (MM) program, including applicable principles, implementation concepts, processes, and tools/databases for Utilization Management (UM), Case Management (CM), and Disease Management (DM). It complements the 2001 DoD Population Health Improvement Plan and Guide published by TMA and the Government Printing Office http://www.tricare.mil/ocmo/download/mhs_phi_guide.pdf.

Under legislative mandates, the ASD (HA) submitted an annual report to Congress regarding healthcare delivery for Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries. The 2009 report documented the MHS goal to providing high-quality care, improving performance through clinical and process outcomes, and increasing patients’ confidence in the care they receive. The Guide describes crucial components of Medical Management within the MHS, including the link between MM and population health and the dynamics between Utilization Management, Case Management and Disease Management in helping reduce unnecessary or inappropriate services and/or duplication of services. In the military setting, Case Management targets all Service Members and beneficiaries with complex, multi-system healthcare needs who require care coordination or case management services. Originally, Case Management almost exclusively targeted in-patients with catastrophic illnesses or injuries. However, a number of developments have served to change that strategy; notably:

- The emergence of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA): http://www.ncqa.orgorg/.

- The development of accreditation standards by the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC):

http://www.urac.org.

While Case Management continues to focus on catastrophic illness or injury, Case Management practices are also intensely directed at addressing chronic conditions that are more prevalent in the general patient population. Case managers can affect patient outcomes through proactive interventions across multiple healthcare settings.

Additionally, case managers are expected to engage community resources and facilitate ongoing and consistent patient education.

The MHS has three primary goals for Case Management:

- Improve the care, management, and transition of recovering service members.

- Broaden the application of CM to include those with complex and at-risk needs before the Soldier requires complex care.

- Evaluate the impact of case management on the quality of military health care.

The Army National Guard, recognizing the importance of Medical Readiness after several years of combat deployments, implemented the Case Manager Support Contract in August 2005 as a time and materials contract, not Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Performance Statement of Work-based. The current contract was originally awarded August 2009 to Skyline Ultd (with 49% subcontract to Sterling Medical).

At the end of FY09, case managers in 31 states were using the medical non-deployable module to manage their case loads. During the period of August 2008 to August 2009, 15,292 cases were put into the module; of these, 6734 were closed by return to duty, fit for duty, or forwarded for an MEB/PEB evaluation. Additionally, readiness increased from 35% fully-ready in FY08 to 44% in FY09. This success resulted from increased targeted funding and a concerted effort by the National Guard Bureau.

On 29 March 2012, the ARNG achieved the Department of Defense (DoD) goal of 75% Fully Medically Ready (FMR) Soldiers per DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6025.19, Individual Medical Readiness (IMR). This monumental accomplishment marked the highest medical readiness percentage the ARNG has achieved in documented history.

Over the past year, ARNG readiness has continued to increase to over 90%. Continued utilization of medical case managers is essential to maintaining established medical readiness goals for the ARNG.

DoD also established a uniform dental classification in HA Policy 02-11, Policy on Standardization of Oral Health and Readiness Classification. DoD policy requires dental screening examination and remediation to be accomplished and documented on at least 90% of Soldiers. Members will receive an annual screening exam that will be entered in DENCLASS for documentation and tracking purposes.

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1 Quality Control (QC): The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective QC Plan (QCP) to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The contractor’s QCP is the means by which it assures itself that its work complies with the requirements of the contract. As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, Performance Requirements

Summary (PRS). A final QCP shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) NLT 10 days after contract award. After acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the Contracting Officer’s (KO’s) acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP.

1.4.2 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government will do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and acceptable quality level(s) or defect rate(s).

1.4.3 Recognized Holidays: The following are recognized United States (US) holidays. The contractor will not perform services on these days:

1.4.3.1 New Year’s Day: January 1st

1.4.3.8 Columbus Day

1.4.3.9 Veteran’s Day: November 11th

1.4.3.10 Thanksgiving Day

1.4.3.11 Christmas Day: December 25th

1.4.4 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services between the hours of 6:30 AM – 5:00 PM (maximum of 10 hrs/day) on Tuesday through Friday, except on recognized US holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. Performance shall be at Camp Rapid, 2823 West Main Street, Rapid City, SD 57702, Bldg 420. The contractor shall at all times maintain an adequate work force for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility/installation is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential.

1.4.4.1 Telework: The Government will permit the contractor to telework in support of this requirement. In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure that the Government's mission-critical operations stay operational during times of national emergency or incidents of national significance. Telework shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

1.4.4.2 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Police may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.4.4.3 The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation; including fire, traffic, safety and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times, and shall be subject to such checks as may be deemed necessary. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation which may affect performance. The Government reserves the right to direct the removal of an employee for misconduct, security reasons, or any overt evidence of communicable disease. Removal of contractor employees for reasons stated above does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for total performance of this contract.

1.4.5 Security Requirements. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from the COR. The contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by Department of Defense (DoD), Headquarters Department of Army (HQDA) and/or local policy. Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.4.5.1 For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC): The CAC is the DoD Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) Both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely;(2) Remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) Physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non- DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled NACI at the Office of Personnel Management.

1.4.5.1.1 HSPD-12 Background Investigation Requirements: The contractor shall ensure that all contractor and subcontractor personnel whose duties require CAC card issuance obtain them, and shall process all CAC card applications. The contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form, at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward it to the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP.

Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm that the investigative service provider has received the request, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the background investigation (BI) will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure immediate compliance with all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system. The contractor is cautioned that the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from two to six weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process. The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.

1.4.5.1.2 Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS): The contractor shall process CAC applications through the TASS, the procedures for which are described below. Although there is no requirement for the contractor to designate a “Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) to serve as its single point of contact for the BI, the TASS application process and other CAC and security-related matters, such designation facilitates these processes. If an FSO is not established, all contractor employees requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications.

The submission process for CAC applications is as follows:

1. The contractor's FSO or contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the designated TASS Trusted Agent (TA). The TASS TA for this requirement will be: SSG Steph Kinsella

2. The Government will establish a TASS application account for each CAC Request and will provide each contractor employee a USER ID and password, via email, to the FSO. The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at:

https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/. The FSO or contractor employee shall follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

3. The Government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:

a. Approval.* Upon approval, the information is transferred to the DEERS database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a RAPIDS station (RAPIDS Site Locator: http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/).

b. Rejection.* The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

c. Return. Additional information or correction to the application required by the contractor employee.

*The contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.

1.4.5.1.3 At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor employee by SSN and two forms of identification. Identity source documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification." Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I-9 list shall be a valid (unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture ID. The Identity documents will be inspected for authenticity and scanned and stored in the DEERS upon issuance of an ID.

The photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS, and will then issue a CAC.

Issued CACs will be valid for no longer than three years, or until the individual's contract end date (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.

1.4.5.1.4 The contractor shall return issued CACs to the DEERS office upon departure or dismissal of each contractor employee, and shall obtain a receipt for each card and provide it to the TA/COR.

1.4.5.1.5 The contractor shall manage requests for new or renewal CAC cards in sufficient time to ensure that all contractor employees have them when needed to perform work under this contract. The contractor shall provide at least 10 calendar days advance notice to the TA, unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the COR or

KO.

1.4.5.1.6 The contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a government computer network. This can be done by going to: http://www.us.army.mil and registering as an "Army Guest," with the sponsor being the COR or a COR- designated individual if the COR is ineligible to Serve as an AKO Sponsor. Note: If employees of a contractor lose the privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore, it is critical that contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

1.4.5.3 Communications Security/Information Technology (COMSEC/IT) Security. All communications with DoD organizations are subject to COMSEC review. All telephone communications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. DoD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from, or terminating at, DoD organizations.

Therefore, the contractor is advised that any time contractor personnel place or receive a call they are subject to COMSEC procedures. The contractor shall ensure wide and frequent dissemination of the above information to all employees dealing with DoD information. The contractor shall abide by all Government regulations concerning the authorized use of the Government's computer network, including the restriction against using the network to recruit Government personnel or advertise job openings.

1.4.5.4 Use of Government Information Systems (IS) and access to Government networks is a revocable privilege, not a right. Users are the foundation of the DoD strategy and their actions affect the most vulnerable portion of the Army Enterprise Infostructure (AEI). Contractor employees shall have a favorable background investigation or hold a security clearance and access approvals commensurate with the level of information processed or available on the system. Contractor employees shall:

1.4.5.4.1 Comply with the command's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Government owned IS and sign an AUP prior to or upon account activation.

1.4.5.4.2 Complete initial and/or annual Information Assurance (IA) training as defined in the IA Best Business Practices (BBP) training (https://informationassurance.us.army.mil).

1.4.5.4.3 Mark and safeguard files, output products, and storage media per classification level and disseminate them only to individuals authorized to receive them with a valid need to know.

1.4.5.4.4 Protect IS and IS peripherals located in their respective areas in accordance with physical security and data protection requirements.

1.4.5.4.5 Practice safe network and Internet operating principles and take no actions that threaten the integrity of the system or network.

1.4.5.5 Protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The contractor shall protect all PII encountered in the performance of services in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)

224.103 Personally Identifiable Information and Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 5400.11, Department of Defense Privacy Program, and DoD 5400.11-R. If a PII breach results from the contractor’s violation of the aforementioned policies, the contractor shall bear all notification costs, call-center support costs, and credit monitoring service costs for all individuals whose PII has been compromised.

1.4.5.6 AT Level 1 Awareness Training (AT): This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within an Army controlled installation, facility or area. All contractor employees, to include subcontractor employees, requiring access Army installations, facilities and controlled access areas shall complete AT Level I awareness training within 60 calendar days after contract start date or effective date of incorporation of this requirement into the contract, whichever is applicable. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each affected contractor employee and subcontractor employee, to the COR or to the contracting officer, if a COR is not assigned, within 5 calendar days after completion of training by all employees and subcontractor personnel.

The baseline certification as stipulated in DoD 8570.01-M shall be completed upon contract award.

1.4.5.8 Information Awareness: Army Training Certification Tracking System (ATCTS) registration for contractor employees who require access to government information systems. All contractor employees with access to a government information system shall be registered in ATCTS (https://atc.us.army.mil/iastar/index.php) at commencement of services, and shall successfully complete the DoD Information Assurance awareness training prior to access to the IS and then annually thereafter. (https://ia.signal.army.mil/DoDIAA/).

1.4.5.9 iWATCH Training: This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within an Army controlled installation, facility or area. The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall brief all employees on the local iWATCH program (training standards provided by the requiring activity ATO). This local developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the COR. This training shall be completed within 60 calendar days of contract award and within 60 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 60 calendar days after contract award.

1.4.5.10 OPSEC Training: In accordance with AR 530-1, Operations Security, the contractor employees must complete Level I OPSEC Awareness training. New employees must be trained within 30 calendar days of their reporting for duty and annually thereafter. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each contractor employee to the COR, or the KO if a COR is not assigned, within 15 calendar days after completion of training.
