Optimizing Human Weapon System (OHWS) Pre-Habilitive Services

This requirement is from Combat Air Forces (CAF) and Air Combat Command (ACC) to support the 127th Operations Group (127 OG) located at Selfridge ANG Base in Harrison Township, MI.  Up to 85% of Air Force fighter pilots surveyed reported some type of spine discomfort during their career. The OHWS program is designed to meet the unique physical needs of the rated fighter pilot and give fighter pilots the tools and access to professional athletic training, massage therapy and strength and conditioning to prevent future injury and increase quality of life.  These services are accomplished through a comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary “pre-habilitative” physical training program with focused strength and conditioning, physical therapy and athletic training.  

The objective of the OHWS program is to keep Specialists in close proximity to pilots to reduce frequency and severity of injuries and time lost from service, improve long term quality of life, optimize human performance/ readiness, avoid injury prior to occurrence, increase pilot production, and support fighter pilot retention.

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified as Government Furnished, to perform on base injury prevention and mitigation, pre-habilitation services, and human performance optimization services to rated fighter pilot assigned to the 127 OG. The Contractor shall furnish consultation and reports, similar to the range of services found in a commercial facility, as well as services specialized to meet the needs of fighter pilots.
