PART 1

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 This is a non-personal services contract to provide a subscription for a commercial off-the-shelf electronic patient education and communication program focused on pregnancy, parenting, and breastfeeding which is distributed to eligible beneficiaries. 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.

1.2 Description of services/introduction: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to distribute information regarding prenatal, parenting, and breastfeeding for eligible beneficiaries at all MTFs that provide childbirth and pediatric services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this performance work statement.

1.3 Background: Per the previous years of this contract, approximately 40,000 babies are born in the direct care system of the Department of Defense (DoD). Childbirth is considered a high volume, high risk and and problem prone condition. A particular challenge in the Military Health System (MHS) is the variability in who provides prenatal and pediatric care. Providers as well as patients change duty stations and this change can potentially disrupt continuity during this special time. The need for predictable communication is heightened because of this unique aspect of military culture. The standardization that is provided by a ready-to-use platform that complies with the Department of Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for Management of Pregnancy (2018) and other evidence-based guidelines is part of the mitigation strategy to prevent miscommunication.

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is committed to all its patients having a strong connection to their healthcare system and Military Treatment Facility (MTF), and to know how to best care for themselves and their children during this vulnerable time. In addition, DHA physicians, nurses, and other providers have limited time and resources and need efficient and effective tools to connect with, engage, and educate their patients.

The DoD beneficiary population giving birth tend to be younger than the general civilian population in the United States and is disadvantaged by being remote from their family of origin due to the unpredictabilities of military assignments. Electronic communication services that provide just-in-time information has been shown to empower recipients with the use of just-in-time self-care information related to pregnancy, breastfeeding, newborn and toddler growth and development.

The overall movement within the MHS is from healthcare to health with an emphasis on self-care. The largest MHS beneficiary population is young, technologically savvy, and culturally and ethnically diverse. Geographically removed from their family of origin and or support systems through assignment or deployment, this program will provide current and accurate information for this specific population. This stage and age appropriate information supports the need for knowledge during pregnancy and parenting, provides a sense of validation and ‘normality’ to assist in mitigation of the unique stresses for this population, and promote healthy behaviors with a direct impact on the mother and infant.

1.4 Objectives:

a) Augment beneficiary knowledge and understanding at vulnerable times of development during pregnancy and as new parents.

b) Deliver age and developmental stage appropriate information electronically to the obstetrical, pediatric, and new parent population.

c) Provide information in technologically appropriate format for parents of ages 15- 40.

d) Empower beneficiaries through knowledge to practice wellness based behaviors, appropriate prenatal care, breastfeeding for months beyond delivery, and evidence based parenting skills to positively impact the health of themselves and their families.

e) Improve and provide consistency in sources of beneficiary education on pregnancy and parenting with evidenced based information/patient satisfaction.

f) Facilitate beneficiary partnerships with their MTFs or providers to achieve evidence-based health care outcomes.

1.5 Scope: This contract provides electronic services and materials required to procure a subscription providing MHS beneficiaries access to weekly electronic communications from gestational age of 7 weeks to up to the toddler’s third birthday delivered to the participants’ electronic device of choice. The information shall include The DoD/VA Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of Pregnancy, and must focus on the whole child, including developmental, physical, and psychological information. A breastfeeding module begins at 35 weeks of pregnancy through week 6 of infancy, and then continues monthly from 2 months until the infant’s first birthday. The material is to be free from advertisement, endorsement, or links to advertisers. Services include telephonic engagement with the MTF points of contact (POCs) to ensure appropriate orientation to the program with technical support to rapid enrollment of beneficiaries to receive the materials. The materials are to be available to the perinatal and pediatric providers as well. Services include:

a) Proactive push messaging via email, text messaging, or app notification delivered directly to each beneficiary
