1. Title of Project: National Center for PTSD Education Products

2. Scope of Work: The National Center for PTSD intends to award a 5-year, Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) using GSA companies under which fixed price Task Orders will be issued. The Task Orders will focus on creating trainings, mobile phone applications, and educational products on PTSD for Veterans and the general public as well as clinicians. Trainings and educational products will be created in a variety of formats including printed materials, face to face trainings, poster campaigns, and other web based materials, and other types of media formats. Trainings and educational products could include presenter preparation, video clips, testimonials, phone applications, and/or assist in the development of education projects in the broad area of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Trauma Related Injuries. It may also include the revision/updating of existing products already posted on our website www.ptsd.va.gov.

3. Background: The National Center for PTSD was created in 1989 within the Department of Veterans Affairs in response to a Congressional mandate (PL 98-528) to address the needs of Veterans with military-related PTSD. The Center was developed with the ultimate purpose to improve the well-being, status, and understanding of Veterans in American society. The mandate called for a center of excellence that would set the agenda for research and education on PTSD without direct responsibility for patient care. The National Center for PTSD manages the website www.ptsd.va.gov and has an educational mandate to educate clinicians, Veterans, and their families on PTSD.

4. Performance Period: The contractors will complete the work required under this SOW over the next 5 years as task orders are written. Work will begin with the first task order within 60 days from date of award. Expected completion dates for each task order will be proposed in the task order.

5. Type of Contract: Blanket Purchase Agreement via Task Order.
