About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard is conducting a sources sought to identify potential contractors for the Optimizing the Human Weapon System (OHWS) program, with responses due by August 5, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated.
The OHWS program targets reduction of neck and back pain injuries among fighter aircrew through a prehabilitation initiative combining strength and conditioning training, overall fitness conditioning, and health education. The program aims to reduce injury frequency and severity, decrease duty time lost, enhance aircrew readiness, and support fighter aircrew retention by increasing fully mission capable status. Work involves data collection—both objective and subjective—to allow the program to evolve and remain optimized based on outcomes.

The procurement is classified under NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Contractors) with a small business size standard of $19.5 million and PSC R499 (Support - Professional: Other). Responses should use the SAM Sources Sought Response Form and include company registration details, socio-economic status, capabilities statement, and certification contact information.

Synopsis:
The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential sources for this project. This notice is for planning purposes only.
All interested parties should respond.
Scope:
The purpose of the OHWS program is to reduce the frequency and severity of neck and back pain injuries, reduce duty time lost, improve quality of life, enhance readiness, and support fighter aircrew retention. The Contractor goal is to reduce injury rates and to increase the rate of fighter aircrew fully mission capable status. This OHWS program is intended to produce retention on a system-wide basis and is described as prehabilitation. Prehabilitation involves prevention of disability and pain experienced as a result of fighter operations through a program specifically designed to train and otherwise prepare aircrew for the rigorous demands of fighters. This program will target specific neck and back strength and conditioning training which will best prepare the aircrew. In addition, overall conditioning and health education, designed to bring aircrew to the peak of fitness, will further decrease the incidence and severity of neck and back problems. Further, through a program of data collection, to include objective and subjective information, the program will evolve as needed to ensure all efforts for improving the quality of life for aircrew are flexible and continue to be optimized.
