Optimizing the Human Weapons System Services

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform OHWS – Optimizing the Human Weapon Services, as defined in this PWS.

1.1.1 Objectives: The purpose of placing OHWS program Specialists for aircrew is to reduce frequency and severity of injuries and time lost from service, improve long term quality of life, optimize human performance/readiness, avoid injury prior to occurrence, increase aircrew production, and support fighter aircrew retention.

1.2 Background: 100% of the 173 FW rated pilots have experienced some type of spine discomfort during their career. According to a study performed by the Unites States Air force School of Aerospace Medicine, Neck pain is a significant factor impacting pilot performance and quality of life, and rates of injury have increased over the years. The Optimizing the Human Weapon Services (OHWS) is designed to meet the unique physical needs of the rated pilots. Conditioning is accomplished through a comprehensive, coordinated, multi-disciplinary “pre-habilitative” physical training program with focused strength and conditioning, performance nutrition, and physical therapy. The purpose of placing OHWS Specialists on base is to reduce frequency and severity of injuries and time lost from service, improve long term quality of life, optimize human performance/ readiness, avoid injury prior to occurrence, increase pilot production, and support pilot retention.

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be 1 Base Year of 12 months and four 12-month option years.

On scheduled night weeks, the standard times will fluctuate based on the flying schedule but will not be in excess of a 9 hour day, during the summer months, the schedule could be as late as 3:00PM-12:00AM.

The factors for the “Human Performance” metrics will be low back strength, neck strength, and spine strength measured at varying weights and angles. However, these metrics may be adjusted with concurrence of the contractor and the KO.

5.6 Most days there will be two flights (GOs); after the First and/or Second Go, the Contractor shall provide a Post-Flight Flex Time, minimum of 60 minutes, but no longer than 90 minutes, that will allow for members to be seen after flying to tend to any immediate flying related injuries or problems. Post-Flight Flex Time shall be based off the scheduled first takeoff of each flying go per day. The Post-Flight Flex Time will normally begin one hour after the first scheduled takeoff of each go. This will allow and account for “Walk-ins” if there is a low demand for immediate triage during the Post- Flight Flex Time.

5.7 Contractor shall obtain appropriate malpractice insurance and provide proof of coverage to the COR/KO within 15 days after contract award.
