Amendment 1 - Answers to timely submitted questions are attached. NEW SUBMISSION DATE - Monday, November 16, 2026 - 4:00PM ET. ______________________________________________________________ The Department of War (DOW) Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) supports the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW). The Director of CAPE is the principal staff assistant to the Secretary of War for Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation. In fulfilling this role, the Director of CAPE provides independent, non-advocate, and data-driven analytical evaluations directly to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of War regarding defense program investments, major force structure posture, and strategic resourcing trade-offs. The Director�s principal responsibilities include: Analyze and evaluate plans, programs, and budgets in relation to U.S. defense objectives, projected threats, allied contributions, estimated costs, and resource constraints. Review, analyze, and evaluate programs, including classified programs, for executing approved policies. Provide leadership in developing and promoting improved analytical tools and methods for analyzing national security planning and the allocation of resources. Ensure that the costs of DoW programs, including classified programs, are presented accurately and completely. Assess effects of DoW spending on the U.S. economy and evaluate alternative policies to ensure that DoW programs can be implemented efficiently. Currently, CAPE�s campaign- and mission-level Modeling and Simulation (M&S) relies on heavy, time-intensive physics engines (e.g., AFSIM) that execute discrete, bespoke combat runs. While highly detailed, these simulation approaches are too slow, computationally expensive, and inflexible to support executive-level sensitivity sweeps across multi-dimensional threat environments and Department warfighting capabilities. CAPE�s current environment leverages HPC resources that provide 1.5 terabytes (TB) of usable memory and 2,000 Central Processing Unit (CPU) cores with no wall clock time restraints. On average, individual simulation execution via AFSIM requires 1 hour of real time to complete and 20 gigabytes (GB) of accessible RAM. This constraint, coupled with sharp disparities in compute architecture, hardware availability, and security accreditation across existing CAPE enclaves restrict analysts to limited, manual workflows while preventing the execution of high-throughput, compute-intensive campaign analytics. CAPE is seeking innovative solutions to establish a next-generation modeling architecture, replacing its legacy M&S infrastructure. To dramatically compress the cycle time between defense budget queries and statistically defensible warfighting insights, the target environment must integrate three interdependent functional layers: (1) A high-performance simulation execution layer to execute large numbers of model (e.g., AFSIM) runs to span the parameter space. Runs in this layer are computationally intensive and resource demanding but will be executed infrequently and systematically using advanced Design of Experiments techniques. (2) A machine-learned surrogate emulation layer to train ultra-fast emulator models from simulation results and detect out-of-sample queries. While the government plans to develop and calibrate these surrogate emulators and analytical models in-house, the commercial solution must provide the extensible data staging, pipeline integration, and execution framework to ingest batch simulation results and host these government-developed models. (3) An intuitive self-service quantitative analysis layer housing pre-built methods for sensitivity analysis, marginal gain estimates, etc., and tools for custom analysis (e.g., tradespace decisions between range, speed, and lethality of weapon systems) and visualization. The solution must support both current operational needs and have flexibility to accommodate future growth in data volume, model complexity, user demand, and computational intensity. This next generation environment will establish an open, scalable, and unified computational backbone designed to modernize Department decision support. The scope of this effort includes the following core technical and performance requirements. A high-performance compute environment sized to meet demanding modeling, simulation, and analytic workloads. Proposed solution architectures should span options to allow for parameter evaluation in the simulation layer on the order of 1,200 individual simulations (i.e., light case - isolated missions only) to be executed within 10 hours real-time, up to 150,000 individual simulations (i.e., heavy case � full joint campaign) to be executed within 2 weeks real-time. Of note, current CAPE architecture would require 1 year of simulation execution runtime for the heavy case. Secure, efficient, data and software movement both into and out of the environment, as well as the ability to interface with external networks to enable transfer of data in accordance with applicable security and access controls. The environment must support network throughput of 100 Mbps - 1 Gbps. The solution must also support connectivity over HTTPS to designated external OSW and mission-relevant data sources, including OSW CAPE-furnished databases and other authorized repositories (e.g., War Data Platform), as applicable. Ability to accommodate evolving development ecosystems and diverse sets of software including M&S tools and analytic technologies. This includes modern software (e.g., Python, R, Java, etc.), scalable data platforms, scalable parallelizable processes (e.g., containers), optimization tools (e.g., GAMS), artificial intelligence capabilities (e.g., large language models), and neural network development (e.g., PyTorch), provided they can be incorporated in a secure and maintainable manner. The solution must enable efficient onboarding, integration, and removal of models and software as mission needs evolve. The Government will retain full operational tenant administration, maintaining exclusive control over user access provisioning, role-based security permissions, data ingestion, proprietary model uploads, container orchestration, and analytical query execution. The Commercial provider will be responsible for turnkey, managed platform and infrastructure IT operations, including hardware availability, operating system patching, network performance, automated system backups, and baseline cybersecurity hardening, ensuring government analysts and technical leads are fully insulated from day-to-day hardware maintenance and IT administration.

Amendment 2: The purpose of this amendment is to change the response date from 16 November 2026 to 23 November 2026. Amendment 1: The purpose of this amendment is to change the response date from 16 November 2027 to 16 November 2026. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION MULTI-SOURCE PNT UE 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information and planning purposes (market research). This RFI does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotations (RFQ)) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, the Government is not, at this time, seeking proposals and will not accept any unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party�s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Due to the operational sensitivity of the Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) missions, any future acquisition resulting from this market research will require strict adherence to Department of War (DoW) and Department of Defense (DoD) security, cybersecurity, and supply chain integrity standards. Consequently, while direct responses to this RFI must remain entirely unclassified (reach out to the government contacts below for information on classified submissions), respondents are required to demonstrate their organizational posture regarding facility clearances, information safeguarding, and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) supply chain compliance. For the purposes of this market research, the anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for manufacturing global positioning systems (GPS) and related equipment is 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing) with a Small Business Size Standard of $44.0 Million, and the primary Product Service Code (PSC) for Global Positioning Systems (GPS) hardware is 5825 (Radio Navigation Equipment, Except Airborne). For specialized, airborne GPS or radar navigation, the code is typically 5826. System-level R&D and engineering services for GPS are usually categorized under codes like R425 (Engineering Services) or AC13 (R&D�Defense System: Electronics). 2.0 BACKGROUND With advances in autonomous systems and guided munitions, the force that can best synchronize its activities at a single point in time and space wields a potent strategic advantage. In the future operating environment, therefore, the Joint Force will increasingly depend on resilient, reliable, and precise position, navigation, and timing (PNT) data to execute combat operations. As such, the Space Force is required to deliver global continuous coverage with stringent civil and military position and timing requirements to assure safety and mission success. This includes at least 88% of the constellation being operationally available more than 98% of the time. Likewise, a thinking adversary will make focused and deliberate efforts to deny access to this capability, leveraging a growing suite of threats including electromagnetic weapons, cyberspace attacks, and kinetic weapons. The challenge today is that, while satellite navigation (SATNAV) through the Global Positioning System (GPS) is foundational to U.S. military operations, critical infrastructure, and global commerce, the current architecture must adapt to evolving jamming and spoofing threats. Additionally, the space and ground segments must be modernized and hardened against physical attack. To build readiness for the future operating environment, therefore, the Space Force will pursue a comprehensive navigation warfare (NAVWAR) strategy that emphasizes resilience, technology modernization, modularity, adaptability, and flexibility. Specifically, it will adopt an open hybrid approach to SATNAV architecture that weighs inputs from diverse sources according to user need, generating a more dependable capability that can withstand adversary action while enabling faster upgrade cycles to enable PNT capabilities. The NAVWAR Objective Force pursues the development and deployment of several key capabilities to advance the SATNAV architecture. One of those elements is User Segment. To make best use of diversified PNT sources, the Space Force will enable a transition to a Multi-Source PNT user equipment (UE) reference architecture that incorporates Modular Open System Architectures (MOSA) and an onboard fusion engine to integrate all available data at the user level. The key enabler of the NAVWAR Objective Force is continued Joint Force investment in Multi-Source PNT UE that utilizes both traditional and new PNT sources. This equipment is foundational to a user�s ability to devise and execute a NAVWAR PACE (i.e., Primary / Alternate / Contingency / Emergency) Plan in degraded or denied environments. While legacy signals are expected to remain supported for civil and public functions, they are increasingly less effective in the contested environment. The military-specific M-Code is available today, while the PNT modernization signals are projected to be available by 2035. 3.0 OBJECTIVE, DESIRED CAPABILITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS This Request for Information (RFI) is focused on obtaining access to analytical information on industrial capabilities in Multi-Source PNT UE the NAVWAR Objective Force. Interests include the following: Multi-Source PNT UE for Terrestrial Users on various military platforms Disadvantaged user High value military assets MOSA Signals supported (M-code, CA, commercial), etc Space Service Volume Multi-Source PNT UE (various orbits) Small satellite users Large satellite users MOSA Signals supported (M-code, CA, commercial), etc Interest is in technical details that can be incorporated into technical analysis to support Space Warfighting Analysis Center, Technology and Emerging Concept Assessments performed during Force Designs. This RFI is being executed in cooperation with the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC). 4.0 SECURITY, CYBERSECURITY AND SUPPLY CHAIN REQUIREMENTS The secure nature of this requirement dictates adherence to stringent Department of War (DoW) / Department of Defense (DoD) security protocols. While direct responses to this RFI must remain unclassified, respondents shall address their current capabilities and compliance regarding the following security domains: a. Facility and Personnel Security Clearances Given the operational nature of Multi-Source PNT UE and the potential for integration with multiple military architectures, e?orts will likely require access to classified information and systems. Respondents must state their current Facility Clearance Level (FCL) (e.g., None, Secret, Top Secret) and classified safeguarding capabilities. Respondents should confirm their capacity to provide appropriately cleared personnel (Personnel Security Clearances - PCL) and facility infrastructure to support secure development, testing, and operations. Please indicate your facility's current capability and experience in handling, storing, and integrating Communications Security (COMSEC) and Transmission Security (TRANSEC) materials. b. Cybersecurity and Information Safeguarding (CUI/CDI) The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Covered Defense Information (CDI) is critical to this effort. In accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012, 7019, and 7020, respondents must describe their current capability to safeguard CUI/CDI. Please indicate your current compliance status with NIST SP 800-171, confirm whether an active assessment score exists within the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), and state your current readiness posture for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) (Level 2 or higher). c. Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) & NDAA Compliance Due to the critical nature of space capabilities and the associated user segment architecture, rigorous supply chain integrity must be maintained. Respondents must confirm their current compliance with Section 889 of the FY19 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (FAR 52.204-24 and 52.204-25), which prohibits the procurement or use of covered telecommunications equipment or services from prohibited Chinese entities. Briefly describe your corporate Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) approach to identifying and mitigating risks (e.g., counterfeit parts, malicious hardware/software insertion) across both the space vehicle payload and any proposed commercial ground infrastructure. 5.0 INFORMATION REQUESTED Responses shall provide clear descriptions of the existing or proposed user equipment capability offered to the Government, including a detailed assessment of its compliance with the DESIRED CAPABILITIES AND CHARACTERISTICS and the SECURITY, CYBERSECURITY, AND SUPPLY CHAIN REQUIREMENTS. Furthermore, respondents must explicitly identify any anticipated intellectual property restrictions and state the expected level of Data Rights (e.g., Unlimited Rights, Government Purpose Rights, or Specifically Negotiated License Rights) to be conveyed to the Government. Responses shall include any relevant data rights or regulatory requirements. 6.0 SUBMISSION DETAILS RFI response must be submitted via DoD Safe, (https://safe.apps.mil/).

Notice of Intent - Research and Technology Advancement Support, A white Paper to BSEE OSRR

See attached notice Intent to Sole Source.

Synopsis: This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources to perform a potential requirement; (2) whether they are small businesses; 8(a) small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; women-owned small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification system (NAICS) code for the potential acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a small business set aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. The requirement is assigned a code of 541715 in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), and the small business size standard for such requirements is 1,000 employees or less. This notice is issued for market research purposes to assess potential small business sources, industry practices, and the availability of commercial services. The Government has not made a final determination regarding acquisition strategy, contract type, commerciality, or small business set-aside status. Respondents should identify whether they can perform the requirement as a prime contractor, including through existing teaming arrangements or qualified subcontractors, and distinguish their own capabilities from those of proposed team members. Background: The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) conducts and supports research and training programs to advance knowledge and understanding of health disparities, identify mechanisms to improve minority health and reduce health disparities, and develop effective interventions in community and clinical settings. NIMHD is the lead organization at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for planning, reviewing, coordinating, and evaluating minority health and health disparities research activities. NIMHD also promotes workforce development, supports research capacity at less-resourced institutions that train students in research careers, serves populations experiencing health disparities, supports participation in clinical research, and promotes information dissemination through regular communications, public education outreach, and scientific presentations. The President�s Executive Order (EO) 14212 Establishing the President�s Make America Healthy Again Commission aims to improve the health of Americans. As described in the EO, escalating burden of chronic diseases poses significant challenges in the United States. These conditions contribute to rising health costs, reduced workforce productivity, and stagnant life expectancies across the country, both in adults and children. NIH defines a health disparity as a measurable difference in health that exists between specific population groups. This is a rigorously derived and data-driven determination operationalized by quantifiable metrics, rather than a statement of attribution. It is a scientific starting point that identifies where health outcomes diverge, not a predetermined conclusion about why. Scientific investigations to identify or understand the root causes are separate and distinct scientific questions, which are necessarily multifaceted and complex. NIH funded research is interested in those health disparities that are modifiable or actionable to improve the health of all population groups. Health disparities may be observed in the risks, prevalence, or problems resulting from specific behaviors, as well as the incidence, prevalence, and mortality from conditions, diseases, and/or disorders. To fulfill the NIH mission of seeking fundamental knowledge about the nature and behaviors of individuals as living systems, and the statutory purpose of NIMHD, to conduct research to understand and reduce health disparities, NIMHD Division of Intramural Research (DIR) conducts population health research to understand how health outcomes vary across populations, identify multilevel modifiable factors that drive these disparities, and develop, test, and evaluate clinical and population-based interventions to reduce these disparities. NIMHD DIR requires contractor assistance to provide R&D social and behavioral sciences research services to support NIMHD DIR in conducting population health and clinical research to understand and reduce health disparities in the United States. The Government anticipates that individual task orders may involve differing research designs, study populations, sites, durations, and levels of complexity. Interested firms should explain their ability to mobilize qualified personnel and research resources for multiple concurrent studies as requirements arise. NIMHD is seeking small businesses capable of designing, conducting and overseeing the clinical, scientific, and technical aspects of investigations into health disparities across populations, to identify modifiable risk and protective factors associated with these disparities, and develop and test interventions to reduce these disparities. Study designs to be used may include, but are not limited to: Population-based cross-sectional surveys; Epidemiological studies (e.g., longitudinal cohort study, case-control studies); Clinical trials; Community-based intervention studies; Simulation modeling; and Qualitative research methods (e.g., direct observations, in-depth interviews, focus groups discussions). Independently and not as an agent of the Government, the Contractor shall furnish all necessary services, qualified personnel, material, equipment, and facilities not otherwise provided by the Government to successfully perform the requirements stated below. Specifically, the Contractor shall, as required by individual task orders, perform the following technical requirements summarized below that also are included in the attached Draft Statement of Work (SOW), including but not limited to: Provide personnel, facilities, and other services necessary to maintain and coordinate multiple health disparities research studies funded through task orders under this Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

Randomized Controlled Trial of a Novel Clinical Decision Support Tool for Individualized Exercise Recommendations in Breast Cancer Survivors.

The MICC Ft. Rucker AL is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having interest in and the resources to support the requirement for G3 Business, Analytical, and Technical Support. The intention is to procure these services on a competitive basis. See attached PWS and sources sought for further information.

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) intends to award, on a sole-source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) and Cost Only, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity type contract to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), CAGE Code 88846, Woods Hole, MA. This requirement is to provide research, development, engineering, and technical services to support NUWCDIVNPT in developing, assessing, upgrading, modernizing, and deploying the Navy Remote Environmental Measuring Units (REMUS) Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (AUV) systems and advanced undersea communication subsystems across all classes of submarines and surface ships. Tasking includes evaluation of system hardware, firmware and software of the REMUS, as well as design analysis and assessment of prototype systems to meet system, operation and platform requirements. It is anticipated that 113,000 man-hours will be required over the five-year ordering period. The NAICS Code is 541715, and the size standard is 1,000 employees. WHOI is the sole designer, original developer, and proprietor of the core technologies embedded within the REMUS 600 and REMUS 3000 AUV platforms. WHOI developed, implemented, and owns proprietary rights and source code for the undersea acoustic and optical communications architectures operating across submarines, surface vessels, buoys, off-hull transponders, divers, and unmanned vehicles. Additionally, WHOI implemented dual-layered, National Security Agency (NSA)-approved encryption software embedded in these systems, requiring specialized and proprietary codebase access to maintain deployment compliance under Navy Authority to Operate (ATO), Interconnect Security Agreements, and Posture Transition Procedures. This requirement to any other contractor would be technically infeasible and cost-prohibitive, resulting in substantial duplication of costs not expected to be recovered through competition. Furthermore, awarding to another source would create an unacceptable delay of three to five years while awaiting redesign, fabrication, testing, and safety/security recertification of submarine-compatible vehicles, causing an untenable mission gap for fleet undersea operations. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A Competitive solicitation will not be issued.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA, Office of Resilience, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Support Directorate, requires support to staff identified local field offices and execute the daily BioWatch Program field operations in accordance with the attached Statement of Work (SOW). GENERAL INFORMATION: This RFI is issued solely for information gathering purposes to identify sources that can provide support for the BioWatch program field operations, special events and surge operations, and technology upgrades and integration. In accordance with FAR 15.101(c), RFIs may be used when the Government wants to obtain price, delivery, other market information, and capabilities for planning purposes. Responses to these RFIs are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. This RFI shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose, nor does it restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with their RFI response. Respondents will not receive additional information in response to their submittal to the RFI and will not be notified of the resulting market research. INTRODUCTION: DHS�s mission is to safeguard the American people, the homeland, and American values with honor and integrity. In support of this mission, the FEMA works to prevent CBRN attacks against the United States by providing timely, responsive support to operational partners. The CBRN Support Directorate advances this mission through the BioWatch program, the nation�s only civilian program that monitors for aerosol releases of select bioterrorism agents. Since its establishment in 2003, BioWatch has maintained a bioterrorism air monitoring system that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in large metropolitan areas, known as jurisdictions, and partnered with state and local public health communities to prepare for and respond to bioterrorist events. The BioWatch Program�s strategic objectives are to: Monitor for the highest-priority biological agents that could cause catastrophic outcomes. Protect the nation�s most at-risk locations. Maintain technical oversight of operations in close collaboration with state and local public health partners that execute the program. Conduct advanced development and use federal research and development (R&D) to procure and deploy improved detection capabilities at lower cost. Coordinate federal, state, and local public health preparedness activities to develop operational protocols for initiating response activities following the detection of an agent for which the system tests. Strengthen federal, state, and local stakeholder partnerships and improve operational efficiencies. To accomplish these objectives, each BioWatch jurisdiction maintains a static array of air samplers, the filters of which are collected daily by field operators. These filters are then delivered to a state or local operational laboratory where they are analyzed for select biological agents. Jurisdictions may also elect to surge operations by deploying additional units to monitor special events or increasing the collection cycle (e.g., twice a day collections). In addition, each jurisdiction has an advisory committee that coordinates with the BioWatch program on operations and biological event preparedness activities. At the federal level, the BioWatch program includes field, surge, laboratory, and biodefense preparedness operational components. Figure 1 depicts daily sample operations. Figure 1. BioWatch Sample Operational Process PURPOSE OF RFI Currently field operators and field-related tasks are not staffed by contract. The purpose of this RFI is to evaluate and determine the field staffing and support options for the BioWatch program to meet field operations requirements. The performer must enable the BioWatch program to maintain current field operations and continue to provide high quality, reliable, and timely delivery of field samples to the laboratories. In addition, due to its evolving operational needs, the performer must provide the necessary flexibility and adaptability to ensure BioWatch can address changes in sample collections for both planned events and unforeseen incidents, as well as assist with potential technology assessments, field evaluations, integration, and implementation. DESIRED CAPABILITIES FOR BIOWATCH FIELD STAFFING AND SUPPORT CAPABILITY Competent, proficient, and reliable field staffing is essential to ensure the BioWatch program continues to meet established requirements. In addition, the evolving threats and vulnerabilities that are identified at the state and local level require operational flexibility and adaptability that must be able to be supported with field staff capable of performing field operations and chain of custody in accordance with mission needs. A successful candidate staffing performer will provide field personnel to conduct BioWatch daily operations in select metropolitan cities within the United States. Composition and hierarchy of field staff at each location will be made at the discretion of the performer, with recommendations and concurrence from the BioWatch program. The staffing performer shall: Provide a Program Manager for the contract who will serve as the primary point of contact for the BioWatch Program and DHS Contracting Officer. Provide a primary point of contact, or lead, for each jurisdiction who will provide direct oversight of field staff and be responsible for administrative activities such as: Scheduling field staff and scoping collection routes. Maintaining appropriate documentation (e.g., training documentation, required inventories, etc.) Coordinating delivery times with local BioWatch laboratory. Communicating and coordinating with the BioWatch Field Operations team. Participating in relevant program meetings. Upon request, participating in local advisory committee meetings. Responding to requests for information from the BioWatch program. Supporting program audits and other assessments. Provide local office space to include space for equipment and consumable supplies storage. Implement staff recruitment and retention practices to maintain staffing levels over the life of the contract to: Support routine daily operations 7 days a week, 365 days a year and may require working beyond a standard 8-hour day and/or alternate shifts. Support planned and limited notice special events and surge operations (i.e., equipment deployment/demobilization, increased operations tempo, increased collection cycle, expanded array, etc.). Support changes to the static array (i.e., additions/reductions in number of collection sites) or collection routes. Ensure the staffing level in a given jurisdiction does not fall below 75% for longer than 1 month and that overall staffing levels do not fall below 90% per year. Accommodate appropriate and reasonable time off for personnel (i.e., paid time off, etc.) without compromising operations including special events and surge operations. Provide continuity of operations, which may include: Changes in operational tempo caused by limited notice special events. Travel of field staff from one jurisdiction to another for either surge support or to ensure continued steady-state operations. Perform all required operational tasks in accordance with the Field Operations Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and other program guidance, processes, and protocols, including: Logistics support. Equipment and supplies ordering and inventory maintenance and reporting. Ensure all field staff, including new hires, are appropriately trained in all relevant BioWatch operations procedures, processes, and protocols. Training materials are provided by the BioWatch program but the performer may be required to develop, maintain, and provide additional training to meet and support program objectives. Ensure field staff maintain and uphold the BioWatch Program Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) requirements. Oversight of Quality Assurance parameters is maintained by the program through audits and inspections, but compliance with program requirements by field staff will be the responsibility of the staffing performer. Upon request, participate in BioWatch program preparedness activities such as planning, drill/exercise participation, and post-detection coordination calls. Upon request, participate in BioWatch program technology assessments, field evaluations, upgrades and integration. All field staff must: be able to perform, at a minimum, routine operations including: Comply with all BioWatch field operations procedures, processes, and protocols. Comply with field operations information management requirements (e.g., sample chain of custody, operations reporting, etc.). Perform routine operations including: BioWatch collector siting, calibration, and maintenance. Filter holder assembly (FHA) cleaning and assembly. FHA collection and installation. Post-collection FHA storage and transfer. Sample delivery to the laboratory. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND DISCLAIMERS: Respondents shall identify any proprietary information in its RFI response.
