1.0 GENERAL. This is a non-personal services requirement to provide the U.S. Army Reserve with Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) education and training services for the United States Army Reserve (USAR) H2F Pilot Program. 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 shall provide all personnel, transportation, and supervision, to coordinate training session and perform H2F education and training as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this requirement.

1.2 Background. H2F is the Army’s primary investment in Soldier readiness, optimal physical and non- physical performance, injury mitigation, and increased effectiveness of the Total Army. The system empowers and equips Soldiers to take charge of their health, fitness, and well-being in order to optimize individual performance while preventing injury and disease.

Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) directed implementation of H2F across the total Army and United States Army Reserve Command (USARC) must implement an H2F program within the context of USARC’s organizational culture and resource constraints. Results of this pilot program will be used to shape future H2F program design and implementation within the USAR.

1.3 Objectives. Improve unit and individual readiness through education and training across the spectrum of human performance to include both physical and non- physical domains (sleep readiness, nutritional readiness, spiritual readiness, and mental readiness) required or optimal performance and improved readiness.

1.4 Scope. The USAR is conducting an H2F Pilot Program in order to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the USAR H2F Concept. The Pilot program consists of two (2) one year Pilot tests in the 81 Readiness Division (RD), Pilot A and Pilot B (1,200 personnel each), with different levels of resourcing. This requirement will cover the last year of the test pilot. The Contractor shall conduct in person educational session once a month for the seven (7) units in

The seven (7) Pilot A units may have training on different weekends of the month. The contractor shall provide the same in person educational session of training on a monthly basis to ensure all Pilot A units receive in person training.

The schedule below is provided as a sample to depict the Government’s expectations in terms of what is required in the monthly education session schedule for the seven (7) units in Pilot A. The Contractor shall use this schedule as informational reference material in developing the required monthly in person education schedule for each unit.

***Informational Reference Material***

The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and the Human Performance Advisor (HPA) will work with the Contractor to establish the training schedule for Pilot A Units. The HPA shall coordinate with the Chaplin Office to schedule the spiritual readiness training, as the Government will perform the spiritual readiness training. Pilot B units receive only web based information and reach back expertise for unit Master Fitness Trainers (MFT) and Master Resilience Trainers (MRT).
