PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

UNITED STATES ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND

SPECIAL OPERATIONS EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN

SO+EMT

Part 1 General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Special Operations Emergency Medical Technician (SO+EMT) training. 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.

1.1. Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, and any other items or non-personal services necessary to perform SO+EMT instruction as defined in this Performance Work Statement, except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2. Background: This training is a 1st SFC(A) 350-1 Deployment requirement for small teams conducting low-visibility operations in areas devoid or denied relevant and developed health service support platforms (FST, CSH, medevac, supply). These teams lack organic medical assets (Corpsmen, 18D or 68WW1) and mission sets place them squarely in remote locales devoid of the conventional medical assets enjoyed throughout the peak of OEF/OIF/OND campaigns. Some mission sets support coastal and maritime operations. Medical Logistics supply lines are absent or severely restricted by distance, terrain, and other factors.

1.2.1. The attendees will consist of non-medical personnel selected by government points of contact and their command’s surgeon and leadership with aptitude and skill set to successfully complete this course.

1.2.2. The course is 8 weeks long and consists of three phases. Phase 1 will consist of contractor-provided online distance learning computer-based training. Phase 2 is classroom/didactic-driven instruction and certification testing. Phase 3 provides didactic, certifications, and validation exercises to cement Phase 1 and 2 material and progress into more complicated tactical, clinical, and prolonged field care medicine. Phase 3 will consist of clinical medicine, austere emergency care, and prolonged care instruction, simulated, role player clinical scenarios, and multiple prolonged field care exercises that last up to 24 hours in duration. SO+EMT attendees will familiarize themselves with private sector and DOD health service support systems IOT improve their MEDEVAC/CASEVAC planning capabilities. SO+EMT-qualified teams have demonstrated (and reported) that their training enabled them to mitigate risk and conduct operations in areas that were previously restricted. The contractor shall be prepared to support fourteen (14) students. The minimum number of students in a class will be 10.

1.2.2.1 The Contractor shall incorporate a five (5) day annual refresher course during week 3 of the course during Phase 3 to provide training for four (4) students. This will run concurrently with the full SO+EMT course but will be instructed by (1) one instructor separate from the primary contracted SO+EMT instructors, and this is in addition to previous and subsequent manpower requirements for full course cadre and staff. The students will be there for recertification and training on required SOFAMT refresher critical tasks. This recertification is to provide previous graduates the necessary training and testing to maintain compliance. The Contractor shall utilize the current courses' subject matter expertise, instructors, curriculum, and all associated requirements to ensure additional students gain certification knowledge. This requirement may not be utilized for each course.

1.3. Objectives: The fundamental objective of this training is to ensure that all course attendees are certified in compliance with National Registry Emergency Medical Technician (NREMT), Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Tier 3 Combat Medic Corpsman (CMC), and Austere Emergency Care (AEC) and meet all certification requirements, which allows them to perform casualty care operations critical for mission success in support of military training and operations.

1.4. Scope: The 4-week resident portion of the SO+EMT program of instruction uses a curriculum developed by the contractor. Training and certification exams for NREMT and non-certification producing training will be conducted by contractor instructors nationally accredited to train and certify NREMT.

1.4.1. The 1 SFC GX (A) plans on funding up to 3 courses per contract year. SO+EMT training must be conducted within 300 miles of the at contractor supplied facilities.

1.4.2. Phase 1 (EMT-B). The contractor shall provide contractor developed computer-based distance learning instruction to students which will count toward required didactic hours and prepare them for the rigorous classroom instruction and national registry EMT-B testing. Students will be required to access material for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to the resident portion of training. The Contractor shall coordinate, lead and be responsible in conducting all medical training resulting in credentialing and certification as a NREMT without government assistance. Training and certification will equip non-medical personnel with 1) a working knowledge base of medical risk mitigation; 2) an increased knowledge of disease, medications, and treatment modalities; and 3) an enhanced understanding of civilian medical infrastructure development. In addition to the initial test, each student must be allowed one retest.

1.4.3. Phase 2. (TCCC and Operational Clin-Med): TCCC Training and introduction to clinical medicine. Students learn disease recognition and treatment modalities, aspects of clinical care in austere environments, and capabilities to assess and monitor patients. Practical exercises develop TCCC and Clinical capabilities learned in this phase. Students will receive the following certifications at the completion of phase 3: Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PTLS), Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS), and TCCC Tier 3 Combat Medic/Corpsman (CMC.)

1.4.4. Phase 3. (Austere Emergency Care): The Contractor shall lead and conduct a training support package (TSP), supporting instruction and practical medical exercises that develop and ingrain didactic information without government assistance in Austere Emergency Care Certification /prolonged field care and clinical medicine. The Contractor provides and leads training events consisting of disease and non-battle injury-centric medical scenarios requiring student return demonstration of assessment and application of treatment modalities consistent with the scopes of practice for NREMT and AEC-certified personnel. 1.4.5. Phase 3 (CULEX portion) will plan, coordinate, manage, execute without government assistance multiple prolonged field care exercises that range in length of 6 to 36 hours. The contractor will develop training scenarios that must be changed every SO+EMT course to facilitate events and situations within the exercise and government guidance. The contractor must conduct extended exercises in an area of over 200 miles at contractor-provided commercial facilities already approved, or those able to be approved under a USSOCOM Realistic Military Training (RMT) packet.
