AMENDMENT 0002 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
MEDICAL ADVISORY AND MEDICAL DIRECTED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
PART 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Introduction: This is a non-personal services contract to provide medical advisory and medical directed transportation services. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein.
1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide qualified personnel, supplies, and services necessary to perform the outlined services as defined in this PWS, except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS and in the resultant contract.
1.2 Background: Military Sealift Command (MSC) is the owner and operator of more than one hundred ten (110) maritime vessels, including Government Operated (GOGO) ships manned by Civil Service Mariners (CIVMARs) and four (4) prepositioned squadrons, and is responsible for ensuring the operational readiness of those ships throughout their active service period. MSC’s mission is to provide sealift for strategic mobility support of national objectives. Specifically, MSC provides cargo and petroleum, oil and lubricants, transportation, fleet auxiliaries and special mission ships in peace, in addition to preparing for and providing strategic sealift during mobilization. While each employee plays a vital role in MSC meeting its worldwide mission in support of varied customers, MSC’s ability to successfully execute its mission is dependent on the health of its embarked workforce.
MSC’s Force Surgeon's Office (N02H) is charged with establishing medical policy and providing medical support services to CIVMARS, active duty military personnel, and mission-sponsor personnel embarked on MSC vessels.
MSC vessels are staffed with either a Medical Services Officer (MSO) or a Medical Department Representative (MDR) who address acute or emergent medical needs. MSOs have previously trained as a Navy Independent Duty Corpsman, Registered Nurse, or Physician Assistant. MDRs have been trained and certified to meet the minimum Standard in Training Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) competencies as a "Person in Charge of Care" required by the United States Coast Guard. MSOs and MDRs are not trained to provide definitive care for all afloat medical problems. There are medical situations where MSOs and MDRs must seek more advanced medical assistance through synchronous and asynchronous communication with others, such as N02H, the United States Navy Fleet Surgeon for the area of operation in which the MSO/MDR’s ship is located, and commercial medical services. Often, these situations will require cooperation amongst many sources to provide the appropriate care and return the patient to home port.
The Contractor is integral to ensuring holistic and proper medical care for MSC’s afloat personnel. The Contractor bridges the communication gap between MSC medical personnel afloat and Navy medical resources, and providing 24/7 medical consultation and medical directed transportation of patients via ground or air.
1.3 Objectives: To award a contract that provides a 24/7 medical advisory and medical directed transportation services for all worldwide personnel serving on MSC GOGO ships and prepositioning units.
1.4 Scope: The Contractor shall provide the above-described services to the extent they are not provided for in Section 3 of this PWS. (Technical Exhibit 1 applies).

This is a performance-based contract in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 37.6. The Government will monitor the Contractor's performance under this contract using the performance objectives and standards in the attached Performance Requirements Summary (PRS).
1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) five (5)-year base period and one
