PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT WORKSHOPS

1. In the Performance Work Statement; "1.3.5 Provide support to enable independent operations of the USAJFKSWCS psychology staff in utilizing the psychological assessments utilized."

Does this mean a formal training and certification program in the use of the psychological assessment (TAIS), which will be funded each year? Or does it refer to providing on going input and advice as to best practices without the time and resources required to provide a formal training?

Answer: This refers to providing ongoing input and advice as to best practices without the time and resources required to provide formal training. Examples might include ensuring that the USAJFKSWCS psychology staff can physically administer and score the TAIS or other instrument independently. The government is not asking for formal certification or training in the use of the TAIS.

2. Also in the PWS; "1.3.4 Provide tailored reports for each USAJFKSWCS student in the course supported integrating local ARSOF population norms on the TAIS test developed over the last 15 or more years."

Currently, there are 2 reports that will be required to support the requirements that do not exist.

Specifically, SFWOTTC and SOWOILE. What is the required timeline for developing these reports? Does the contract cover the cost for developing these reports?

Answer: The intent is for the contractor to utilize existing norms. If norms for a specific sub-population do not exist, the contractor would be expected to utilize the existing norms which are most applicable as determined in consultation with the USAJFKSWCS psychology staff.

Answer: This is a renewal and the prior service was performed by Winning Mind, LLC.

4. Is there a maximum allowable amount for the contract?
