The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. The Contractor shall implement and sustain cost-saving measures throughout the period of performance without degradation of mission capability.

1.1.1 Objectives: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) establishes performance requirements for contractor support to allow training organizations the maximum opportunity to exercise their personnel by simulating actual conditions.

The use of role players is required to support regional training and exercises, enhancing domestic contingency preparedness, and evaluations of the CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), Homeland Response Force (HRF), and other National Guard CBRNE response capabilities. The SCTE Contractor Support explicitly addresses a combination of strategic planning and tactical operations within the civilian emergency management community (Exercise only).
