B.2 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

Boots on the Ground Services for Community Program Support

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Title

Boots on the Ground Services for Community Program Support

1.2 Authority for the Project

This project is authorized by the Veterans Affairs Pacific Islands Health Care System (VA

PIHCS), Office of Research and Development, under the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Congressional mandates, including H.R. 2617 (Public

Law 117-391, Title II, Page 29, Paragraph 2) and H.R. 4366 (Public Law 118-42, Senate Report

118-43, Title II, Page 37, Paragraph 1), establish the CPIVH to improve healthcare access for

Pacific Island-related Veterans in Hawaii, the continental U.S., and the Pacific Basin.

1.3 Scope and Purpose

The VA seeks a contractor to support CPIVH, a newly established entity under VA PIHCS, reporting to the VHA. The contractor will serve as an authorized representative of CPIVH, focusing on tailored outreach, needs assessment, and resource connection for Veterans in

Hawaii, the continental U.S., and U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands.

Key Objectives:

• The community healthcare workers are expected to operate in 4 geographic regions.

The regions are the continental U.S., the island of Oahu, the rest of the Hawaiian

Islands, and the rest of the Pacific. In these geographic locations, the contractor will provide at least 5 community healthcare workers per region at 2.0 FTE (partial positions, work volume does not anticipate full-time positions). Over time the contractor and

CPIVH will work to balance the positions according to workload.

• The contractors are expected to meet CPIVH-developed education requirements to promote VHA services.

• The contractor will provide a senior director with a background in Pacific Island cultural and health issues. The senior director will work with CPIVH staff in the development of the education materials for the community healthcare workers.

• The contractors will utilize the CPIVH data platform to input results. The CPIVH staff will develop and maintain the data platform.

• Identify Pacific Island Veterans who are not utilizing VA services and help them to engage with and obtain access to healthcare services. Enhance access to VA healthcare services through community engagement and support.

1.4 Background

The CPIVH was established to address healthcare disparities faced by Pacific Island Veterans, who encounter geographic, cultural, and systemic barriers to accessing VA services. Legislative mandates (H.R. 2617 and H.R. 4366) emphasize the need for culturally competent care and improved access for underserved Veterans in the Pacific region. Challenges include limited outreach, insufficient culturally tailored services, and underrepresentation in VA healthcare systems. CPIVH aims to bridge these gaps through targeted outreach, needs assessment, and community engagement.

Boots on the Ground Services for Community Program Support will utilize community healthcare workers (CHW) to conduct outreach and engagement to NHPI Veterans. The CHW evidence-based practice was chosen for the Boots on the Ground Services for Community

Program Support as CHWs represent the federally recognized, gold standard evidence-based practice for conducting health outreach and education to community populations, the stated goal of the Boots on the Ground Services for Community Program Support. Importantly and strongly justifying the Center’s CHW practice, CHWs are recognized for their effectiveness by federal entities including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Health Services Research Administration. As just one example of the extensive evidence-base confirming the effectiveness of the CHW programs for communities such as NHPIs, the

Health Services Research Administration confirms that key outcomes of CHW programs include

(1) increased healthcare access and utilization, (2) increased health and screening rates, (3) strengthened adherence to health recommendations, and (4) lowered need for emergency and specialty healthcare services.

According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, CHWs are defined as (1) “lay members of the community who work either for pay or as volunteers in association with the local health care system in both urban and rural environments,” who (2) “act as liaisons, educators, and cultural mediators between healthcare and social service resources and the communities they serve.”

As CHWs must be composed of lay members of the patient communities served to (1) serve as trusted healthcare messengers and (2) be considered an evidence-based practice, CHWs in the

Boots on the Ground Services for Community Program Support must come from and be integrated into the communities the Center serves.

1.5 Work Environment

The contractors will operate in a professional indoor office environment conducive to stakeholder collaboration and aligned with CPIVH’s mission. The role is primarily sedentary, requiring standard office equipment and software. Occasional light physical activities, such as handling documents or office supplies, may be required.

Note: Cybersecurity and Accreditation (C&A) requirements do not apply, and a Security

Accreditation Package is not required.

1.6 Contractor Requirements

• At least 5 years of expertise working within Pacific Island cultures, including Veterans’ communities, with active networks of community healthcare workers.

• At least 5 years of experience recruiting, training, and supervising community healthcare workers for health outreach. Experience in Veteran healthcare support will be considered an important factor not limited to but including the following:

• Promoting VHA services.

Islands.

• Connecting Veterans to community and health resources, supporting enrollment, appointment follow-ups, and treatment compliance.

2.4 Performance Requirements Summary

The contractor’s performance will be evaluated based on:

• The contractor’s performance will be evaluated according to a Quality Assurance

Surveillance Plan (QASP) based on requirements in the Performance Work Statement

(PWS). This evaluation uses systematic methods for monitoring services and ensuring that performance standards and quality levels are met, with an emphasis on results rather than specific processes. Key evaluation aspects include:

Performance Focus and Responsibilities:

• The contractor is accountable for the quality of all work performed, including by subcontractors, and must implement a quality control plan (QCP) that addresses quality, timeliness, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction.

• The government’s Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer’s Representative

(COR) oversee contract compliance, monitor performance, and resolve issues.

• The COR conducts regular surveillance and uses monitoring forms to document evaluations of the contractor’s work.

Performance Standards and Incentives:

• Required performance standards/quality levels are set forth in the PWS and a performance summary. Meeting them results in full payment; exceeding them may result in positive contract reviews, while failing to meet them can lead to payment deductions and required corrective action.

Performance Monitoring:

• Surveillance methods include random monitoring and periodic inspections by the COR.

• Customer feedback, through surveys or written complaints, is a critical component of performance assessment.

• Contractor performance is also measured against defined Acceptable Quality Levels

(AQLs), such as timelines for Community Healthcare Workers (CHW) identification and training, monthly meeting attendance, and regular reporting of outcomes and data metrics (e.g., numbers of Veterans served, referrals made, outreach events held).

Data and Documentation:

• Continuous reporting is required, including detailed monthly reports from the contractor on specified metrics.

• All surveillance and monitoring activities are documented, with records retained by the

COR for review.

Review, Feedback, and Resolution:

• Monthly QA reports summarize performance and trends, forming the basis for evaluation.

• Regular reviews between government and contractor may be scheduled to address issues, assess trends, and plan improvements.

• Corrective actions are mandated if performance falls below standards, and changes to procedures or targets are formally documented in contract modifications.

Overall, contractor performance is managed through measurable outcomes, customer satisfaction, timeliness, and responsiveness, with ongoing monitoring and the flexibility for continuous improvement, while ensuring government oversight and accountability.
