Performance Work Statement (PWS) Army Reserve Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Performance Team (HPT)

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Title: Army Reserve Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Performance Team (HPT).

1.2. Background: The United States Army Reserve (USAR) is operationalizing the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System to improve and sustain combat readiness and Soldier resilience across five domains: Physical, Nutritional, Mental, Spiritual, and Sleep. Unlike the Active Component, Reserve Soldiers train intermittently, which creates unique challenges for maintaining physical conditioning, mental acuity, and medical readiness. This operational tempo, often described as a "39-Day" model (referring to annual training and weekend battle assemblies or multiple unit training assemblies), requires a support structure that also empowers Soldiers during their civilian lives ("Other 28 Days"). Lessons learned from prior USAR H2F pilot activities indicated that in-person engagements are necessary for success; previous attempts to manage readiness solely through remote means or without embedded subject matter experts were insufficient to mitigate the "Other 28 Days" readiness degradation. This contract provides the professional services necessary to execute key aspects of the H2F System, providing continuity and expert guidance aligned with the USAR H2F implementation strategy. USAR has determined that sufficient organic military and DA civilian capacity is not available to provide the required combination of professional disciplines, geographic coverage, nonstandard scheduling, and continuity during the period of performance. Contractor support augments, and does not replace, Government personnel and shall not perform inherently governmental functions.

1.3. Type of Contract: Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ).

1.4. Period of Performance (PoP): The contract will include an 12-month base period, one (1) 12-month option period, and an optional 6-month extension.

· Base Period: 1 April 2026 - 31 March 2027

· Option Period 1: 1 April 2027 - 31 March 2028

· Optional 6-Month Extension: 1 April 2028 - 30 September 2028

1.5. Place of Performance: The services under this contract shall be performed at multiple dispersed locations to support the hub and spoke model across three primary supported commands. The Contractor shall provide and physically locate personnel at the following specific sites:

· Location 1: Army Reserve Medical Command (AR-MEDCOM), Pinellas Park, FL (4 CFTEs)

· Location 2: Army Reserve Medical Command (AR-MEDCOM), Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL), NJ (4 CFTEs)

· Location 3: Army Reserve Medical Command (AR-MEDCOM), Gillem Enclave, GA (4 CFTEs)

· Location 4: 88th Readiness Division (RD), Fort Snelling, MN (4 CFTEs)

· Location 5: 88th Readiness Division (RD), Fort McCoy, WI (4 CFTEs)

· Location 6: 81st Readiness Division (RD), Tampa, FL (1 Strength and Conditioning Coach)

· Location 7: 81st Readiness Division (RD), Columbia, SC (1 Strength and Conditioning Coach)

· Location 8: 81st Readiness Division (RD), Nashville, TN (1 Strength and Conditioning Coach)

· Location 9: 81st Readiness Division (RD), Charlotte, NC (1 Strength and Conditioning Coach)

· Location 10: 81st Readiness Division (RD), Fort Jackson, SC (1 Strength and Conditioning Coach)

1.6. Hours of Operation: Contractor personnel shall provide services aligned with USAR training schedules. The concept of a standard 40-hour workweek may not directly apply; instead, effort will be tied to supporting scheduled USAR training events, program development, reporting, and approved ancillary tasks. This requires a flexible schedule, as work will frequently occur outside of traditional Monday-Friday business hours, including evenings and weekends, to align with Inactive Duty Training (IDT), Annual Training (AT), and other scheduled events. No overtime payment is authorized unless explicitly approved under the contract. Hours worked begin at the first place of duty for the day and end at the last place of duty for the day during a scheduled support period.

1.7. Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE): Except for those items specifically stated to be Government-Furnished Property (GFP) in Section 3.0, the Contractor shall furnish all equipment and materials required to perform the services under this contract. The Contractor shall provide all necessary specialized health, fitness, nutritional, and diagnostic equipment required to execute the H2F programs, Soldier assessments, and coaching events (e.g., portable physical training gear, biometric/body composition assessment tools). All CFE must be commercially standard, safe, properly calibrated, and maintained in fully operational condition. All CFE shall remain the property of the Contractor. The Government assumes no liability or responsibility for the maintenance, repair, loss, theft, or damage of contractor-owned equipment, nor the transport and storage of said equipment during travel to work locations.

1.8. Travel and Transportation: Contractor personnel will be required to travel within the Continental United States (CONUS) to perform the tasks described in this PWS. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating, scheduling, and executing all necessary transportation, lodging, and per diem required to support the Spoke locations and subordinate units. The Government will not provide Government-owned or GSA fleet vehicles for Contractor use under this contract. The Contractor must utilize commercial transportation, rental vehicles, or privately owned vehicles (POV). All travel requirements supporting the "39-Day" training model must be pre-approved by the COR prior to booking. The Contractor shall be reimbursed for actual allowable travel costs incurred, not to exceed the limits established by the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and FAR 31.205-46. Local travel (defined as within a 50-mile radius of the assigned duty station) will not be reimbursed.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

The overarching objective of this contract is to improve Warfighter readiness, holistic well-being, and retention across the Army Reserve by providing embedded human performance expertise across the Physical, Nutritional, Mental, Spiritual, and Sleep domains. This will be achieved by integrating a Human Performance Team (HPT) of professional health and performance experts who will assess, educate, train, and support Reserve Soldiers and their leaders. These efforts are designed to empower Soldiers to take charge of their health, measurably enhance fitness scores, reduce the incidence and severity of both acute and overuse Musculoskeletal Injuries (MSKI), improve body composition in accordance with Army standards, and optimize the overall effectiveness of unit training.

3.0 SCOPE

The Contractor shall provide non-personal services through an interdisciplinary HPT consisting of Contractor Full-Time Equivalent (CFTE) personnel. The team's primary function is to provide education, program development, and advisory support; it does not involve the direct supervision of Soldiers. The total requirement consists of twenty-five (25) CFTEs, comprising:

· Registered Dietitians (Registered Dietitian (RD)

· Cognitive Performance Specialist (CPS)

· Strength and Conditioning Coach (Strength and Conditioning Coach (SCC)

· Athletic Trainers (Athletic Trainer (AT) The teams will be split between the different locations listed in Section 1.5.
