1.1 General: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Region VII PreExeval by contractor support to provide Structural Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) support;

and provide and manage contractor role players, moulage and weighted manikins.

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 NGB J3/7 provides the Chief, National Guard Bureau (CNGB) with subject matter expertise on joint doctrine, training, education, and exercises to ensure a trained and balanced National Guard force ready to support any mission of the several States or Combatant Commanders.

1.2 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary to provide a vital realistic element to the Region VII CTE, as defined in this PWS. The contractor shall provide SCVS reset, role players, and manikins for the NE CERFP PreExeval. Personnel assigned to this task shall possess the skills and expertise necessary to perform assigned tasks associated with this order. The will be approximately 203 government personnel attending this training exercise from the NE CERFP.

1.3 Background: In conjunction with the National Guard Bureau, MO HRF (Homeland

Response Force )and NE CERFP is tasked to develop and support regional training and exercise activities aimed at enhancing domestic contingency readiness. MO HRF and NE CERFP ensures these functions are integrated and complementary where appropriate. In an effort to provide conditions wherein the participants are challenged with probable real-world situations, NE CERFP uses moulaged role players and manikins to simulate the applicable conditions. The use of role players is required to support regional training and exercises to enhance domestic contingency preparedness exercises and evaluations of CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), Homeland Response Force (HRF) and other National Guard CBRNE response capabilities. NGB uses Structure Collapse Simulators (SCS) to simulate the collapsed state of buildings due to a natural disaster or a domestic terrorism event. The use of these simulator venues supports regional training and exercises to enhancing domestic contingency preparedness exercises and evaluations of CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), HRF and other CBRNE response capabilities. A SCVS is a location where one or more SCS are used to simulate the collapsed state of buildings.
