PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

FOR

Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) Services

1. General

1.1 Scope of Work: 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 perform Preservation of the Force and Family Services (POTFF), as defined in this PWS.

1.2 Background: 212th Rescue Squadron operators must always be ready to perform at their peak in order to accomplish their challenging mission set. Attaining and maintaining this level of peak human performance requires the implementation of a top-notch physical conditioning and maintenance program comparable to those seen in Olympic-level and professional sports organizations. The POTFF program will focus on the whole operator concept to not only assist Guardian Angel (GA) operators in accomplishing their military missions in the short term, but also to emphasize the maintenance of peak performance over the long term in order to lengthen the service life of the "human weapon system” while ensuring high quality production. This long- term perspective means the POTFF program must include rehabilitative services to provide rapid recovery from injuries and performance services to provide focused physical and mental conditioning. When an operator is degraded or de-conditioned, individualized and specialized care is required to rapidly restore his physical capabilities prior to returning him to full-mission-capable status. Hence, as professional athletes are supported by an integrated professional sports model that tailors performance programs to accomplish the mission at peak levels, operators require the same level of support to perform as tactical athletes and must have a comparable POTFF program. A successful POTFF program provides the following services: Physical Therapy/Injury Management, Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy, Strength and Conditioning, and Operational Psychology.

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP). The Period of Performance shall be one Base Year of 9.5 months and four 12-month option years.

1.4 Place of Performance.

212th Rescue Squadron, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, JBER, AK 99506

1.4.1 Operating Hours. The 212th Rescue Squadron has personnel on station from 7:00am to 10:00pm during the normal work week, divided into a day (7:00am to 3:00pm) and night (2:00pm to 10:00pm) shift. The contractor must ensure that services are available daily for squadron personnel on both shifts. Physical training time for squadron personnel is typically at the start of each shift, from 7:00am to 10:00am for the day shift and 2:00pm to 5:00pm for the night shift. Strength and conditioning services are currently provided in split shifts, with strength and conditioning coaches present for the morning

In all cases (including normal workdays), when Government personnel are not available in the building/location of work to oversee Contractor activities, Contractor personnel shall leave the premises but are allowed to work at the local Contractor’s office.

A CAC cannot be issued without evidence that a SAC inquiry has been completed and a T1 investigation has been initiated or a personnel security investigation (PSI) equal to or greater in scope than a T1 for the Operational Psychologist position.

The government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:

a. 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.

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

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

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 issued for the PoP (current contract year), not the contract end date (inclusive of any options). CACs are validated by the acceptance and issuance of the new Option Year.

The contractor shall return issued CAC's to the TA, COR or DEERS office upon departure or dismissal of each contractor employee. Obtain a receipt for each card and provide to the TA/COR if returned to a DEERS office.
