PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

UNITED STATES ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND

SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES AUSTERE CARE COURSE

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Special Operations Forces Austere Care Course training. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. 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, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, and any other items or non-personal services necessary to perform Special

Operations Forces Austere Care Course instruction as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: Small teams (MIST, ODG, CAT-A minus) and/or other designated units/personnel ISO Sensitive

Activities and Special Warfare are conducting low-visibility operations in areas devoid or denied relevant and developed health service support platforms (FST,CSH, medevac, supply). These teams lack organic medical assets

(18D or 68WW1) and mission sets place them squarely in remote locales devoid of the conventional medical assets enjoyed throughout the peak of OEF/OIF/OND campaigns. Some mission sets support coastal and maritime operations. Medical Logistics supply lines are absent or severely restricted by distance, terrain and other factors. In

2014, the 1st SF Commanding General approved an Office of Special Warfare Non-Standard Medical Section

(OSW NS-MED) managed medical training program supporting these teams a/o other designated units/personnel

ISO Sensitive Activities and Special Warfare named the Special Operations Forces Austere Care Course

(SOFACC).

1.2.1. The attendees will consist of non-medical personnel (i.e. 18 series, 35M, 37F, 38B) selected by their command’s surgeon and leadership with aptitude and skill set to successfully complete this course. It will teach them the enhanced medical treatment skills exceeding First-responder Trauma Combat Casualty

Care (TCCC) scope. Attendees earn national certification as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT).

NREMT certified personnel are qualified to provide EMT-Basic level care, perform Basic Cardiac Life

Support (BLS) and serve as a United States Coast Guard-qualified Medical Care Person in Charge

(MCPIC). MCPIC embodies Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) certifications that are requirements in supporting many interagency missions. Soldiers learn traditional and non-standard casualty evacuation techniques, and are also introduced to medical intelligence planning methods for teams operating in austere or denied areas across AORs.

1.2.2. The course is four weeks long and consists of two phases. Phase 1 is classroom/didactic-driven instruction and certification. Phase 2 provides validation exercises and practical testing to cement Phase 1 material. SOFACC attendees will familiarize themselves with private sector and DOD health service support systems IOT improve their MEDEVAC/CASEVAC planning capabilities. SOFACC-qualified teams have demonstrated (and reported) that their training enabled them to mitigate risk and conduct operations in areas that were previously restricted.

1.3. Objectives: The basic objective of this training is to ensure that 1ST SF Command operators and all course attendees are certified in compliance with NREMT and MCPIC and meet all certification requirements, which allows them to perform casualty care operations critical for mission success in support of combat operations.

1.4. Scope: NREMT and MCPIC-Instructor-trainers do not exist in the US Army at this time. The OSW-NS MED

SOFACC course is run through extensive Contractor support. The 4-week SOFACC program of instruction uses a collaborative model developed by OSW NS Medical Section and Medical Sections across 1st Special Forces

Command. Non-certificate training will be conducted by a mix of military and civilian instructors. Certification-producing training and certification exams for NREMT and MCPIC will be conducted by civilians nationally accredited to train and certify.

1.4.1. OSW plans on funding up to six (6) courses per contract year. SOFACC training is intended to be conducted at the Eureka Springs SOCoE Training facility. The facility is located near Fort Bragg but not located on main post. There is no requirement to conduct mobile training team events. There will be onsite

OSW subject matter expert for both phases of training. Phase 2, the government will provide over-arching military scenario parameters.

1.4.2. Phase 1. (Didactic): The Contractor shall be in the primary role leading medical training resulting in credentialing and certification as a NREMT and MCPIC with an OSW Military subject matter expert onsite. Training and certification will equip non-medical personnel with 1) a working knowledge base of medical risk mitigation; 2) an increased knowledge of disease, medications and treatment modalities; and

3) an enhanced understanding civilian medical infrastructure development. In addition to the initial test, each student must be allowed one retest per certification. Phase 1 Location: Eureka Springs SOCoE

Training facility

1.4.3. Phase 2. (Hands-on Exercise): The Contractor shall be leading and conducting a training support package (TSP), supporting a practical medical exercise that develops and ingrains didactic information with an OSW Military subject matter expert is onsite. The Government provides the over-arching military scenario parameters and the Contractor provides and leads training events consisting of at least 4 disease and non-battle injury centric medical scenarios requiring student return demonstration of assessment and application of treatment modalities consistent with the scopes of practice for NREMT and MCPIC-certified personnel. The Contractor will provide (1) simulated casualties via role players per training team per day;

along with all facets of moulage and patient scenarios for said simulated casualties; cost, procurement, oversight and a mechanism to supply students with funds to procure commercial off-the-shelf products to facilitate low- visibility medical training during the practical exercises. Contractor will use patient simulator models for all invasive medical procedures for example Foley catheter, advanced airway management, oral and nasal airway, nasogastric and orogastric tube, venipuncture, and intravenous catheter placement. Fresh whole blood transfusions (FWB) will be performed by students on other students as a team event. Phase 2 Location: Hand-on Eureka Springs; CULEX moving toward Jacksonville, NC.

1.4.4. CULEX (Phase 2): Contractor lead, CULEX general scheme of maneuver, 3 part exercise that simulates an extended casualty evacuation across 2/3 of NC:

- Part 1: 0530 link up (LU) FBNC. 0700 LU in "Pineland" in vicinity of (IVO) Biscoe, NC. 12 hrs. in a rural, resource poor, environment. (ex. woods, chicken coops, and hiding) - Movement through populated area, resupply, and move to second rural area.
