1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES.

1.1 Introduction. This is a non-personal services contract. The Government shall neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. The contractor shall manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. The contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer (CO) immediately if they perceive any actions that constitute personal services. These services shall not be used to perform any Inherently

Governmental Functions.

1.2 Background. The Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) and Guardian Angel (GA) Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) initiative has highlighted the need for increased focus on preserving the current TACP (13L -

Air Liaison Officer (ALO) and 1C4 - TACP Specialist) and Guardian Angel (13D - Combat Rescue Officer (CRO) and 1T2 - Pararescuemen) Operators’ combat capability. The TACP POTFF Concept of Operations (CONOPS) identified three specific job specialties: a board-certified Exercise Physiologist (EP), a board-certified Physical

Therapist (PT) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). The GA POTFF CONOPS identified two specific job specialties: a certified Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS) and an Athletic Trainer (AT). These specialties help to improve readiness and rehabilitation for both POTFF CONOPS.

1.3 Scope. The mission is accomplished by increasing the physical capacity of both TACP & GA, by decreasing the rate of injuries and accelerating return to duty times. The EP, will work with individual operators to optimize physical performance while collecting, analyzing, and resolving physical readiness level concerns. The baseline requirement supports 14 ACC active duty locations.

1.3.1 Locations. The Contractor will use available Government facilities at each location.
