Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Vision Statement To be the premier Instructor/Operator (I/O) support service provider for Program Executive Office for Simulations, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) Medical Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS).

1.0 Introduction

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) establishes the general performance requirements necessary to execute tasks within the Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC) Instructor Operator Support Services (MIOSS) contract. PEO STRI has a requirement to provide I/Os for Medical TADSS world- wide. The efforts described in this PWS are required to support teacher led medical based training and situational scenario-based training, and provide services related to medical TADSS instruction and operation. Supported medical training devices belong to the Virtual training environment. The MIOSS contract will support MSTC TADSS during the contract period of performance.

1.1 Mission

To provide I/O support services in the MSTCs which strengthen the Warfighters’ skills required to successfully perform mission requirements. Deliver effective teacher led medical training with a standardized training platform for both classroom and simulated battlefield conditions. The MSTC program supports training for medical and non-medical personnel including Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard, with priority given to deploying units. The MSTC’s goal is to better prepare Soldiers for the application of medical interventions under combat conditions.

1.2 Background

The MSTCs are standardized Army training assets located at various military installations worldwide, delivering effective medical training with a standardized training platform. The MSTC provides medical training and education on new battlefield procedures and equipment, while affording military members the ability to provide comprehensive training in several formats such as the classroom setting, practical hands-on training, trauma lanes, and distance learning. Each MSTC configuration consists of a Medical Training Command and Control Center (MT-C2) which integrates and controls the Instructor Support System (ISS), and Virtual Patient System (VPS) that contains all the MSTC training devices and critical technologies.

Training devices include bleed/breathe patient simulators, dead-weighted simulators, airway management simulators, partial task trainers and moulage kits that replicate single patient polytrauma injuries. In addition to program of record (PoR) training aids, cadavers may also be utilized for training. Training Soldiers, leaders and units is the vital ingredient that ensures the readiness of the force to accomplish this mission. To be effective, training must provide Combat Medics with opportunities to practice their skills in a realistic operational environment.

Conditions are tough and realistic as well as physically and mentally challenging. The MSTC uses scenarios and situational training exercises to train and evaluate Soldiers, Combat Lifesavers and Combat Medics in medical, trauma and evacuation skills. The use of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC or TC3) in tactics, techniques and procedures is required to reinforce care under fire and tactical field care.
