PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
FOR
Nonclinical Case Management Services
1. General:
1.1 Scope:
The purpose of this requirement is to provide Medical and Dental Non-clinical Case Management and administrative Care Coordinator staffing in support of Individual Medical Readiness (IMR). This requirement is designed to be flexible, responsive, and meets the ever-evolving needs of the government. DoDI 6025.19 establishes aggressive quarterly and annual metric goals for the separate IMR elements and for the overall IMR category of Fully Medically Ready (FMR) soldiers. The ultimate goals are to produce real-time reports based on complete, accurate data. The minimum goal for overall medical readiness is more than 75% of Service members FMR, with the ideal goal being 100%. The Tennessee Army National Guard (ARNG) Surgeon’s Office requires a highly responsive process whereby the government can quickly obtain needed support and services. This PWS reflects existing National Guard Bureau policies and regulations.
1.1.1 TN ARNG Surgeon’s Office requires both case managers and administrative care coordinator support services. The case management position may be filled at a minimum by either a Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Vocational/Practical Nurse (LVN/LPN) or Social Worker.
1.1.2 The Contractor shall furnish all labor and services required to provide a wide range of Medical and Dental Non-clinical Case Management and related Medical Administrative support services.
1.1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The period of performance shall be 12JUN15 – 11JUN16, with the possibility of up to 4 option years.
1.2 Background: The Department of Defense (DoD) TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) values all staff involved in the delivery of high-quality care to service members.
In 2009, a Medical Management Guide was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD [HA]) and TMA, Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO), Population Health and Medical Management Division (PHMMD). The Guide covers the components of a Medical Management (MM) program, including applicable principles, implementation concepts, processes, and tools/databases for Utilization Management (UM), Case Management (CM), and Disease Management (DM). It complements the 2001 DoD Population Health Improvement Plan and Guide published by TMA and the Government Printing Office http://www.tricare.mil/ocmo/download/mhs_phi_guide.pdf.
Under legislative mandates, the ASD (HA) submitted an annual report to Congress regarding healthcare delivery for Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries. The 2009 report documented the MHS goal to providing high-quality care, improving performance through clinical and process outcomes, and increasing patients’ confidence in the care they receive. The Guide describes crucial components of Medical Management within the MHS, including the link between MM and population health and the dynamics between Utilization Management, Case Management and Disease Management in helping reduce unnecessary or inappropriate services and/or duplication of services. In the military setting, Case Management targets Active Duty Service Members and beneficiaries with complex, multi-system healthcare needs who require care coordination or case management services. Originally, Case Management almost exclusively targeted in-patients with catastrophic illnesses or injuries. However, a number of developments have served to change that strategy; notably:
- The emergence of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA):
http://www.ncqa.orgorg/.
- The development of accreditation standards by the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC): http://www.urac.org.
While Case Management continues to focus on catastrophic illness or injury, Case Management practices are also intensely directed at addressing chronic conditions that are more prevalent in the general patient population. Case managers can affect patient outcomes through proactive interventions across multiple healthcare settings.
Additionally, case managers are expected to engage community resources and facilitate ongoing and consistent patient education.
The MHS has three primary goals for Case Management:
- Improve the care, management, and transition of recovering Service members.
- Broaden the application of CM to include those with complex and at-risk needs before the Soldier requires complex care.
- Evaluate the impact of case management on the quality of military health care.
The Army National Guard, recognizing the importance of Medical Readiness after several years of combat deployments, implemented the Case Manager Support Contract in August 2005 as a time and materials contract, not Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Performance Statement of Work-based. The current contract was originally awarded August 2009 to Skyline Ultd (with 49% subcontract to Sterling Medical).
At the end of FY09, case managers in 31 states were using the medical non-deployable module to manage their case loads. During the period of August 2008 to August 2009, 15,292 cases were put into the module; of these, 6734 were closed by return to duty, fit for duty, or forwarded for an MEB/PEB evaluation. Additionally, readiness increased from 35% fully-ready in FY08 to 44% in FY09. This success resulted from increased targeted funding and a concerted effort by the National Guard Bureau.
On 29 March 2012, the ARNG achieved the Department of Defense (DoD) goal of 75% Fully Medically Ready (FMR) Soldiers per DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6025.19, Individual Medical Readiness (IMR). This monumental accomplishment marked the highest medical readiness percentage the ARNG has achieved in documented history. Over the past year, ARNG readiness has continued to increase to over 80%. Continued utilization of medical case managers is essential to maintaining established medical readiness goals for the ARNG.
1.3 Quality Control (QC): The Contractor shall provide a preliminary Quality Control Plan (QCP) with their proposal. The QCP shall include a detailed discussion of the steps proposed to ensure quality, adherence to schedule, proactive communication and adherence to budget. The QCP shall include a description of corrective action steps to take should the Contractor performance be substandard. An organizational depiction of the project team and chain(s)-of-command shall also be included in the QCP. The QCP shall be submitted as part of the proposal.
1.3.1 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government shall develop and utilize a quality assurance plan. This plan shall be primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure the contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards.
It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and acceptable quality level(s) (defect rate(s)).

The contractor shall ensure wide and frequent dissemination of the above information to all employees dealing with DOD information. The contractor shall abide by all Government regulations concerning the authorized use of the Government's computer network, including the restriction against using the network to recruit Government personnel or advertise job openings.
1.3.5.2 Use of Government Information Systems (IS) and access to Government networks is a revocable privilege, not a right. Users are the foundation of the DoD strategy and their actions affect the most vulnerable portion of the AEI. Contractor employees shall have a favorable background investigation or hold a security clearance and access approvals commensurate with the level of information processed or available on the system. Contractor employees shall: Comply with the command's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Government owned IS and sign an AUP prior to or upon account activation.

If a PII breach results from the contractor’s violation of the aforementioned policies, the contractor shall bear all notification costs, call-center support costs, and credit monitoring service costs for all individuals who’s PII has been compromised.
1.3.5.4 CAC Requirements: The Common Access Card (CAC) is the Department of Defense (DOD) Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. In accordance with Directive Type Memorandum (DTM) 08-003, December 1, 2008, incorporating Change 5, October 8, 2013, Initial issuance of a CAC requires at a minimum, the completion of FBI fingerprint check with favorable results reflecting "No Record" and submission of a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), or a DoD-determined equivalent investigation. The issuance of a CAC will be based on four criteria; (a) eligibility for a CAC; (b) verification of DoD affiliation from an authoritative data source; (c) completion of background vetting requirements according to the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-1, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, March 2006, and DOD Regulation 5200.2-R, Department of Defense Personnel Security Program, January 1987, and (d) verification of a claimed identity.

It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at attachment, at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR immediately. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward to the NGB Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm the request has been received by the Office of Personnel Management, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the BI will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system are complied with immediately. The contractor is cautioned the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from 2-6 weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process. The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.
1.3.5.4.ii Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS): The contractor is responsible for processing applications for Common Access Cards (CAC) for every contractor employee who deploys with the military force OR who has need to access any government computer network in accordance with FAR 52.204-9, "Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel." The contractor is responsible for managing requests for new or renewal CAC cards in sufficient time to ensure all contractor employees have them when needed to perform work under this contract. The norm is at least ten calendar days advance notice to the Trusted Agent (TA), unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Contracting Officer. It is recommend a "Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) be designated to serve as your firm's single point of contact for Background Investigation (BI), the TASS application process and other CAC and security related matters. If a FSO is not established, each contractor employee requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications. CAC applications shall be processed through the TASS.
The contractor's FSO Or contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the designated TASS Trusted Agent (TA) before accessing the TASS website. The TASS TA for this requirement will be:The government will establish a TASS application account for each CAC Request and will provide each contractor employee a USER ID and Password, via email, to the FSO. The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/.
The FSO or contractor employee will submit completed applications in TASS and will follow up to ensure the TA is processing the request. A CAC cannot be issued without evidence the FSO has initiated a National Agency Check with Written Inquires (NACI).
The government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:
Approved.* Upon approval, the information is transferred to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a Real- Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS) station (RAPIDS Site Locator: http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/).

Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I-9 list shall be a valid (unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture identification (ID). The Identity documents will be inspected for authenticity and scanned and stored in the DEERS upon issuance of an ID. The photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS and will then issue a CAC. Issued CACs shall be for a period of performance not longer than three (3) years or the individual's contract end date (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.
