PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Special Operations Combatives Program & Tactical Integration Services

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General Information. This is a non-personal services contract to provide Special Operations Combatives Program (SOCP), tactical weapons training, and hand-to-hand combat role player capabilities. This contract is not for personal services; contractor employees are not Government employees. The contractor shall receive technical oversight and direction on mission requirements from the Government's designated Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), but such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction. The contractor shall provide all personnel, points of instruction (POIs), supervision, training plans, and other non-tangible items and services necessary to perform as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Combatives Program, as defined in this PWS, except for those items specified as Government furnished. Services include providing instruction in SOCP, Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP), less-than-lethal and lethal tactical weapons training, de-escalation training, and concealed carry integration.

1.2. Background. Due to mission requirements placed upon the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) (5th SFG(A)), Soldiers are at high risk of being unarmed and required to defend themselves against multiple or armed assailants.

• Operational Environment: 5th SFG(A) operators conduct extensive Language, Regional Expertise, and Culture (LREC) missions, Joint Combined Exchange Training (JCETs), and combat deployments, frequently operating in civilian clothes in close proximity to foreign partner forces with only concealed carry pistols and knives as defense. Historical records document more than 100 green-on-blue insider attacks in the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility, demonstrating a persistent threat that operators must be physically prepared to survive.

• LSCO and the Zero-Meter Battlespace: The lessons from Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) in Ukraine highlight the necessity of zero-meter combat proficiency. The proliferation of lethal overhead aerial threats (drones) is actively pushing ground forces into confined, subterranean spaces--trenches, bunkers, and reinforced buildings. When operational maneuver is forced underground, the battlespace compresses to zero meters. Combat footage and intelligence reports demonstrate that forces are regularly engaging in brutal, hand-to-hand combat to seize and clear these positions.

• De-Escalation and Risk Mitigation: The de-escalation dimension of this program carries measurable legal, diplomatic, and strategic risk mitigation value. When an operator lacks empty-hand fighting proficiency, their only available tool to resolve a rapidly deteriorating physical confrontation is a lethal weapon. Historical data from the CENTCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) explicitly highlights this vulnerability: during peak operational years in OIF and OEF, premature Escalation of Force (EoF) incidents--often resulting from personnel lacking proportional, non-lethal physical control options--accounted for a massive percentage of civilian casualties. These incidents severely degraded strategic partnerships and triggered high-profile international crises. Empirical data further demonstrates that regular grappling-based training significantly reduces these panic-induced use-of-force incidents. Financially, a single General Court-Martial resulting from a negligent use-of-force incident costs the Government between $210,000 and $575,000+. This program directly mitigates

CUI Category: General Procurement and Acquisition these catastrophic risks by developing operators who utilize the Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model to default to proportional, non-lethal control measures under extreme stress.

1.3. Objectives. The basic service objective is to establish, implement, maintain, and operate a program to train 5th SFG(A) Soldiers in conventional and unconventional hand-to-hand combat techniques. A key objective is to develop and condition the operator's cognitive ability to utilize Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) making, enabling rapid and effective responses in high-stress, low-frequency, high-consequence zero-meter encounters. The desired outcome is for Soldiers to become exceptionally proficient in hand-to-hand fighting techniques against multiple attackers and emerge with a favorable outcome. The basic service objectives include the following:

1.3.1. Training Volume and Throughput Baseline.

1.3.2. Special Operations Combatives Training (SOCP).

1.14. Contractor Personnel.

1.14.1. Key Personnel. The Lead Instructor is designated as Key Personnel. This individual is the single most critical element of successful contract performance and must meet all qualifications in this PWS at all times. The Lead Instructor must be a direct employee or owner of the prime contracting entity. Any substitution requires a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice and written KO approval.

1.14.1.1. Assistant Instructors. Assistant Instructors may be used for specific contingency events and must be pre-approved by the COR. Assistants must be direct employees/owners and meet specified minimum qualifications, including MACP Level III, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, and five (5) or more years of Special Forces/Special Operations Forces instructional experience.

1.14.1.2. Continuity of Operations and Prior Experience Requirement. Given the sensitive and specialized nature of Special Forces combatives training, continuity of instruction is a critical mission requirement.

The Lead Instructor proposed for performance under this contract shall demonstrate a minimum of fifteen

(15) consecutive years of verifiable, continuous prior experience delivering SOCP, MACP, and hand-to-hand combatives instruction directly to 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Soldiers at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This minimum tenure requirement reflects the documented time required to build the institutional knowledge, unit relationships, individual ODA familiarity, scenario design expertise, joint supported unit integration experience, and physical training environment proficiency necessary to sustain 5th SFG(A)'s established combatives program at its required operational tempo without degradation from the first day of contract performance. This requirement cannot be organically fulfilled by military personnel. Special Forces Soldiers are, by operational design, highly versatile generalists required to

CUI Category: General Procurement and Acquisition maintain proficiency across dozens of complex military domains. They do not possess the operational bandwidth to dedicate the decades of deliberate, continuous study required to achieve teaching-level mastery of zero-meter combat. Reliance on the Army's standard 1.5 to 3-year assignment rotation cycle for this position would cause immediate, unacceptable fluctuations in training quality, safety standards, and unit combat readiness that are inconsistent with 5th SFG(A)'s mission requirements. The Lead Instructor shall possess established institutional knowledge of 5th SFG(A) training standards, unit-specific operational requirements, individual ODA training needs, joint supported unit integration, scenario design parameters, and the physical training environment. Documentation of prior performance, including dates of service and description of duties performed, shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within five (5) business days of contract award. DELIVERABLE: Lead Instructor Qualification Documentation.

1.14.2. Special Qualifications. The Lead Instructor shall possess and maintain the following minimum qualifications:

• Certifications: SOCP Instructor certified under Greg Thompson; Level IV MACP Master Combatives Instructor certified under Matt Larsen.

• Grappling: 4th Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

• Experience (Tier 1): Minimum 15 years teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to U.S. Army Special Forces;

minimum 10 years directly instructing SOCP to U.S. Army Special Forces; minimum 10 years teaching edged weapon and concealed carry weapon integration to U.S. Army Special Forces;

minimum 10 years experience teaching de-escalation skills to U.S. Army Special Forces.

• Experience (Tier 2): Army Ranger School Graduate; minimum 10 years experience teaching Muay Thai, Wrestling, and Boxing to U.S. Army Special Forces personnel; minimum 10 years experience developing and executing scenario-based, high-stress force-on-force training events for U.S. Army Special Forces; minimum 10 years experience training, coaching, facilitating, and participating in combatives competitions within U.S. Army Special Forces units; minimum three (3) years real-world experience in de-escalation and detainee handling.

1.14.3. U.S. Citizenship and Language Requirements. Employees and agents of the contractor shall be U.S. Citizens and shall be able to read, write, speak, and understand the English language fluently.

1.14.4. E-Verify. The contractor must pre-screen all applicants using the E-Verify Program (http://www.dhs.gov/E-Verify) to meet established employment eligibility requirements. The contractor shall ensure that all applicants provide two valid forms of government-issued identification prior to commencing performance.

1.14.5. Vehicle Registration. Contractor personnel operating a privately owned vehicle (POV) on Fort Campbell, KY, shall comply with all installation requirements, including registering POVs through the Provost Marshal's Office, Vehicle Registration, Building A5004 (Gate 4). State registration, proof of insurance, and a valid driver's license are required to register a POV. Vehicle passes and decals of terminated employees shall be returned to the Provost Marshal within one (1) workday. Contractor employees who are retired military or dependents with a valid DoD ID card do not need additional installation access permits.

1.14.6. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). Contractor and subcontractor personnel performing work under this contract shall comply with FAR Subpart 9.5. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI, and shall promptly submit a written mitigation plan to the Contracting Officer. The

CUI Category: General Procurement and Acquisition

Contracting Officer may effect other remedies as necessary, including prohibiting the contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements affected by the OCI.

1.14.7. Prohibition on Subcontracting of Performance Work. The contractor shall perform 100% of all instructional, coaching, refereeing, role player, and scenario-based support work required under this contract using only direct employees or owners of the prime contracting entity. The contractor is expressly prohibited from subcontracting any portion of the performance work described in this PWS to any subcontractor, staffing agency, or third-party provider without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer. Any unauthorized subcontracting of performance work shall constitute grounds for default.

1.15. Phase In/Phase Out Period. To minimize any decreases in productivity and to prevent possible negative impacts on services, the contractor shall have personnel on board during the 15 days prior to phase in and phase out periods. During the phase in period, the contractor shall become familiar with all performance requirements in order to commence full performance of services on the contract start date.

1.16. Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings. The contractor agrees to attend any post award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration office in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.5. The Contracting Officer, COR, and other Government personnel as appropriate, may meet periodically with the contractor to review contractor performance. At these meetings, the Contracting Officer will apprise the contractor of how the Government views the contractor's performance and the contractor will apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues. These meetings shall be at no additional cost to the Government.

1.17. Data Rights. The Government has unlimited rights to all documents/material produced under this contract. All documents and materials produced specifically at Government expense and direction under this contract shall be Government owned and are the property of the Government with all rights and privileges of ownership/copyright belonging exclusively to the Government. These documents and materials may not be used or sold by the contractor without written permission from the Contracting Officer.

1.18. Proprietary Curriculum Protection. Notwithstanding Section 1.17, the contractor retains all rights, title, and interest in and to intellectual property in two categories: (1) any training methodologies, curriculum frameworks, instructional techniques, drills, lesson structures, and related intellectual property developed by the contractor independently of this contract and prior to contract award ("Pre-Existing IP");

and (2) any training methodologies, curriculum frameworks, instructional techniques, drills, lesson structures, and related intellectual property developed by the contractor during the period of performance that was not created exclusively at Government direction and was not funded exclusively at Government expense ("Contractor-Developed IP"). The contractor shall identify all Pre-Existing IP in writing to the Contracting Officer within fifteen (15) days of contract award, and shall provide written notice of any Contractor-Developed IP to the Contracting Officer within thirty (30) days of its development during the period of performance. The Government is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use identified Pre-Existing IP and Contractor-Developed IP solely for the purpose of performing training under this contract during the period of performance. Upon contract expiration or termination for any reason, the Government's license to use Pre-Existing IP and Contractor-Developed IP shall cease and all such intellectual property shall remain the exclusive property of the contractor. The contractor expressly retains the unrestricted right to use all Pre-Existing IP and Contractor-Developed IP in any training context outside of 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), including commercial instruction, other Government agency training, and non-5th SFG(A) military training, without restriction or requirement for Government approval. The Government retains unlimited rights to all work product, reports, training

CUI Category: General Procurement and Acquisition records, certificates, and materials created specifically at Government expense and at Government direction during the performance of this contract ("Contract-Developed Work Product"). Pre-Existing IP and Contractor-Developed IP incorporated into Contract-Developed Work Product does not transfer ownership of that intellectual property to the Government. The contractor shall clearly mark all Pre- Existing IP and Contractor-Developed IP submitted to the Government as "Contractor Proprietary" to facilitate identification and protection of such materials.
