Ambulance Support, and Structural Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) Reset
1.0 General:
1.1 Scope: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision,
and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 6 as Government Furnished, to
perform a non-personal services contract to provide the Supported Collective Training Exercise
(SCTE) training event with contractor support to provide and manage contractor role players,
moulage/clothing, weighted manikins (with clothing), simulants, lumber package, real world
medical support (2 ambulances), and Structural Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) (Rubble Pile) reset
as identified in this PWS. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the
contract service providers performing the services herein. The Contractor shall implement and
sustain cost-saving measures throughout the period of performance without degradation of mission
capability.
1.1.1 Objectives: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) establishes performance
requirements for contractor support to allow training organizations the maximum opportunity to
exercise their personnel by simulating actual conditions. Role players and ambulance services are
essential to realism and interaction during the training events, which is enhanced by acting,
moulage, and environmental conditions. Rubble Pile reset is an enhanced requirement that also
enhances realism and interactions for typical lifesaving elements.
1.1.2 Background: In conjunction with the National Guard Bureau, Massachusetts HRF is tasked
to develop and support regional training and exercise activities aimed at enhancing domestic
contingency readiness. The SCTE ensures these functions are integrated and complementary
where appropriate. To provide conditions wherein the participants are challenged with probable
real-world situations, the SCTE uses moulage role players, manikins, and simulants to simulate
the applicable conditions. The use of role players is required to support regional training and
exercises, enhancing domestic contingency preparedness, and evaluations of the CBRN
Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), Homeland Response Force (HRF), and other
National Guard CBRNE response capabilities. The SCTE Contractor Support explicitly
addresses a combination of strategic planning and tactical operations within the civilian
emergency management community (Exercise only).
1.1.3 Services: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities,
transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary
to provide a vital realistic element to the Massachusetts HRF SCTE as defined in this
