Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Psychological Assessment Support Services

Part I

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide psychological services. 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. The Contractor, in turn, shall be accountable to the Government for Contractor or subcontractor personnel.

1.1. 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 perform psychological services as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS), except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract and consistently with the established standards in this PWS and contract.

1.1.1. The contractor shall provide all direct labor, material, supervision (of contractor personnel) and other items and services (not specifically identified herein to be Government-furnished), necessary to provide the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), Directorate of Psychological Applications (DPA) psychological services in support of Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF). These services shall be conducted in support of and in coordination with major command elements and USASOC subordinate units that include, but are not limited, to the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS), the 1st Special Forces Command (1stSFC), the 75th Ranger Regiment, and the 160th Special Operations Regiment (160th SOAR) and other ARSOF units as required. In addition, the contractor may also provide psychological services in support of and in coordination with other United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) components, to include, but not limited to the Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM). While typical requirements are for 1-4 psychologists per event, as many as fifteen (15) psychologists, dispersed at six (6) or more locations, may be needed across the command to provide services on any one day.

1.2. Background: The DPA is responsible for providing a broad range of psychological services to USASOC. These services include, but are not limited to, support for personnel assessment, selection, training, and development processes. All of these services work in a building block fashion with key developmental checkpoints over the course of an ARSOF soldier's career.

1.3. Objectives: The basic service objective includes the following:

1.3.1. The first objective of the DPA's psychological services mission is the candidate assessment and selection mission conducted within the command. The DPA supports this component through program development, program execution (to include the provision of all required psychological services including: development, planning, administration, and interpretation of psychological assessment instruments and other selection events; interviewing of prospective candidates; preparation of psychological reports; presentation of candidate profiles to respective selection boards; consulting with organizational leadership; and providing candidate feedback services as required), and program validation (includes research on the data collected in the candidate assessment and selection process.

1.3.2. The next objective involves psychological training support. This training support consists of curriculum development, performance enhancement and the provision of operational psychology training. Performance enhancement may include individual, group and organizational consultation, to include test interpretation and feedback, direct observation, development coaching, and leadership consultation. The advanced training in operational psychology requires experts in operational and industrial and organizational psychology to present the state of the art techniques and procedures in these domains to both operational psychologists and non-psychologists.

Attachment 1 – Performance Work Statement Page 26 of 85

Also training support may be within USASOC’s CSCs and CSUs to help provide performance enhancement, and other operational psychology training to the troops with the unit operational psychologist.

1.3.3. The final objective involves operational psychology factual research, white paper creation, testing applicants, and providing Subject Matter Expert (SME) input for plans pertaining to regulations and policies. This includes, but is not limited to the study of operational psychology areas such as performance enhancement, resiliency, leadership dynamics, advanced assessment, detecting deception, etc. The products expected to be produced may include, but are not limited to, white papers, research articles, education and training documents, programs of instruction, and professional development seminars. Performance of this component would entail work on short-term, well defined topical projects resulting in one or more of the above outputs as required for the particular product i.e. one of the aforementioned courses taught to command psychologists requires updated research into the latest trends in assessment and selection of personnel in high risk occupations. The output would be a summary of current research in the form of a presentation and supporting training documents.

1.3.4. Additionally back-up psychological support to USASOC Survival, Resistance, Evasion, and Escape programs.

1.4. Scope: Services include psychological support for assessment and selection (A&S), training, factual research, white paper creation, testing applicants, and providing SME input for plans pertaining to regulations and policies, and Survival, Resistance, Evasion, and Escape (SERE) programs. The Contractor shall accomplish requested number of psychologist needed for each day to support the different events and activities.

1.6.1.1.

When an observation indicates defective performance, the COR will require the Contractor or designated on-site representative to initial the observation to acknowledge the defective performance.
