PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

AIR NATIONAL GUARD (ANG) Medical Case Management (MCM)

1.0 General:

1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Section 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform medical and non-clinical case management services, as defined in this PWS.

The primary scope of this contract is to provide comprehensive medical and non-clinical case management for internally processing approximately 9,000 to 12,000 cases annually supporting the medical readiness of the ANG. The contractor shall provide adequate staffing within defined on-site parameters defined elsewhere within this PWS for program management, case analysis/metrics, and quality control measures; assuring the recommendations made by the team are reliable, reproducible, defendable, and timely in accordance with (IAW) applicable guidance. Cases are reviewed for the purpose of ensuring medical readiness for the ANG. Case types and processing requirements are detailed in Section 5. The contractors will interact with providers; ANG units; military treatment facilities; recruiters;

and other certification/waiver authorities within the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and Reserve Components

(RC).

The contractor, in absence of specific guidance on unique circumstances, shall develop a strategy and request approval for implementation on future cases. ANG contract personnel shall utilize the following existing software programs and/or their replacements if phased out during the performance of this contract: Surgeon General Database (SG Database), Air Force Recruiting Information Support System (AFRISS), Aeromedical Service Information Management System (ASIMS), Right Now Tracking (RNT), Electronic Case Tracking (ECT), MOVEit DMZ Physical Evaluation Board Liaison Officer (PEBLO) Account Management (also known as CIB), Aeromedical Information Management Waiver Tracking System (AIMWTS), Medical Electronic Data for Care History and Readiness Tracking (MEDCHART), and Physical Exam Processing Program (PEPP) and any future software developed for the program by the Department of Defense (DOD) or Service Components.

This is a non-personal services requirement to provide the necessary level of administrative, professional, and technical support required to facilitate the overall objectives of the ANG medical and non-clinical case management program. The Government shall neither directly supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for individual contractor employees. Contractor employees shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. The contractor's management plan shall ensure that employees properly comply with the performance standards outlined in this PWS. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to notify the KO immediately.

1.2 Background: ANG’s vision for this contract is to support both the medical case management and non-clinical programs with a team of highly skilled and trained medical professionals that will review and make recommendations/dispositions on cases supporting the needs of the ANG. The vendor shall provide independent recommendations / dispositions on medical cases by utilizing existing guidance and without the need for extensive oversight or guidance from the respective service.

Independent judgment is critical.

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP). The Period of Performance shall be one base year with four 12-month option years starting on:

Base Year: 30 June 2020 – 29 June 2021 Option Period One: 30 June 2021 – 29 June 2022 Option Period Two: 30 June 2022 – 29 June 2023 Option Period Three: 30 June 2023 – 29 June 2024 Option Period Four: 30 June 2024 – 29 June 2025

1.4 General Information:

1.4.1 Quality Control (QC): The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective QC Plan (QCP) to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The contractor’s QCP is the means by which it assures itself that its work complies with the requirements of the contract. As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, Performance Requirements Summary. This QCP is due within 15 calendar days of contract award. After acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the KO acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP.

1.4.2 Quality Assurance (QA): The Government will evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that 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 Contracting Officer Representative (COR) or subject matter expert (SME) will advise the contractor on any discrepancies noted and the contractor shall address the discrepancies and provide a corrective action plan as necessary to reduce the likelihood of repeating the finding(s).

1.4.3 Recognized Holidays: The following are recognized U.S. holidays. The contractor shall not perform services on these days:

1.4.4 Place and Performance of Services: The contractor shall provide services Monday through Friday, except on recognized U.S. holidays or when the Government facility/installation is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government-directed facility/installation closings. All employees are expected to be available during core hours which are 0900 to 1500 Eastern Time.

The primary place of performance shall be the Air National Guard Readiness Center (ANGRC), National Guard Bureau, Office of the Air Surgeon, 3500 Fetchet Avenue, Joint Base Andrews, MD 20762. A representative from each of the core functional areas (Program Manager, Medical Director, and Administrative Support) shall be on-site at the ANGRC during normal duty hours. Telecommuting and alternate workplaces are optional for other positions, but must be approved by the COR and be in the best interest of the Government. No additional funding is authorized for alternate duty locations. Staff who are not on-site shall be required to perform tasks as outlined in this PWS. The contractor shall, at all times, maintain an adequate work force for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility/installation is not closed for reasons defined within this PWS.

When hiring personnel, the contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the work force are essential.

1.4.4.1 Telework: The Government may permit telework by contractor employees (for positions outside of Program Manager, Medical Director, and Administrative Support) when determined to be in the best interest of the Government in meeting work requirements. The contractor shall have an established telework program subject to review by the Government. All telework agreements shall be authorized and approved by the COR and include the date, time, and description of the tasks to be performed. In furtherance of Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), a telework program may be enacted to ensure the government's mission-critical operations stay operational during times of National Emergency or incidents of National Significance. The COR must identify to the KO any tasks that are required to ensure continuity of critical supplies and services and at what level those supplies and services must be delivered.

1.4.4.2 Unscheduled gate closures by the Security Forces may occur at any time causing all personnel entering or exiting a closed installation to experience a delay. This cannot be predicted or prevented. Contractors are not compensated for unexpected closures or delays. Vehicles operated by contractor personnel are subject to search pursuant to applicable regulations. Any moving violation of any applicable motor vehicle regulation may result in the termination of the contractor employee’s installation driving privileges.

1.4.4.3 The contractor’s employees shall become familiar with and obey the regulations of the installation; including fire, traffic, safety, and security regulations while on the installation. Contractor employees should only enter restricted areas when required to do so and only upon prior approval. All contractor employees shall carry proper identification with them at all times. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation which may affect performance.

1.4.5 Security Requirements. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from the COR. The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by Installation Commander, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DOD, United States Air Force (USAF), ANG and/or local policy.

Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.4.6

1.4.6.1 Communications Security/Information Technology (COMSEC/IT) Security.

All communications with DOD organizations are subject to COMSEC review. All telephone communications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. DOD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from, or terminating at, DOD organizations. Therefore, the contractor is advised that any time contractor place or receive a call they are subject to COMSEC procedures. 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.

1.4.6.2 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 ANG Enterprise Infrastructure. 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.

- Complete initial and annual DOD Cyber Awareness Information Assurance training.

- Mark and safeguard files, output products, and storage media per classification level and disseminate them only to individuals authorized to receive them with a valid need to know.

- Protect IS and IS peripherals located in their respective areas in accordance with physical security and data protection requirements.

- Practice safe network and internet operating principles and take no actions that threaten the integrity of the system or network.

The issuance of a CAC will be based on three criteria:

(1) Verification of DOD affiliation from an authoritative data source;

(2) Completion of background vetting requirements according to the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201-1, Personal Identity Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors, March 2006, and DOD Regulation 5200.2-R, DOD Personnel Security Program, January 1987; and

(3) Verification of a claimed identity. CAC eligible personnel must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) through either an authoritative personnel data feed from the appropriate Service or Agency or TASS.

1.4.6.5 HSPD-12 Background Investigation Requirements: The contractor shall ensure CACs are obtained by all contract or subcontract personnel assigned to work on the Government site and by personnel requiring access to a DOD network (and other eligible populations as specified in DTM- 08-003 Attachment 3, paragraph 3a.). All personnel are required to, at a minimum, have received a favorable FBI fingerprint check and must have submitted to OPM a NACI or equivalent/higher investigation. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form, at the earliest possible date and that this form is forwarded to the COR within one business day. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward to the National Guard Bureau (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 that the request has been received by OPM, 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 Background Investigation 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 compiled within one business day. The contractor is cautioned that 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.

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 TA before accessing the TASS website. The TASS TA for this requirement will be the COR.

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) at: https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/.

The FSO or contractor employee will submit completed applications in TASS and will follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

A CAC cannot be issued without evidence that the FSO has initiated a 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 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/).

*Rejected. The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

Returned. Additional information or correction to the application required by the contractor employee.

*The contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.

At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor by social security number (SSN) and two forms of identification.

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 DEERS upon issuance of an ID.
