PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Pre-Habilitative Neck and Back Fitness Program 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 “pre-habilitative” fitness Services, as defined in this PWS.

1.1.1 Objectives: Preventative strength training to prevent injuries from high G forces.

1.2 Background: Nearly all fighter pilots have some type of spine discomfort during their career. This includes issues in the neck, upper back, and lower back (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine). One of the causes is the dynamic movement pilots experience while operating aircraft under high G forces, and the unique stresses caused by the equipment that is necessary for flight. The helmet that is worn during flight weighs approximately 5 pounds and combined with experiencing up to 9 Gs, or 9 times the force of gravity, the neck and back can be supporting over 130 pounds in a dynamic maneuvering scenario. Often these forces are exerted while looking over the shoulder while the torso is twisted. These forces can result in several types of neck and back injury. This program is intended to address this pressing concern and better prepare fighter pilots to meet the unique physical needs of fighter operations. Currently these services have been utilized at the 158 FW for approximately three years. During this time frame the fighter pilots have noticed a reduction in discomfort related to flight maneuvers and performance of duties

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be 30 September 2023 to 31 January 2024.
