Yoga Classes for Gerofit ProgramStatement of Work This contract directly relates to the Whole Health redesign initiative of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). In an effort to improve health outcomes and life expectancy, and to lower costs, VHA is trying to empower Veterans to take charge of their healthcare. One of the components of this initiative is equipping Veterans with wellbeing programs for skill building and support; proactive, integrative health approaches such as stress reduction, yoga, tai chi, mindfulness, nutrition, acupuncture, health coaching; not diagnosis or disease based. The Gerofit program at the VA Maryland Health Care System (VAMHCS) Geriatric Research Education Clinical Center (GRECC) is a facility-based health promotion and exercise program for older Veterans that has documented individuals in the program function physically better than they did upon entry, substantially reducing their risk of institutionalization. The VAMHCS Gerofit program already offers Yoga and Tai Chi classes as well as nutritional counseling. A previous contract established yoga opportunities for one hour, once a week for Veterans enrolled in the Gerofit program at the Annex building, and one hour, once a week, for Veterans enrolled in the Gerofit program at the Loch Raven Robotics building for 46 weeks. Despite their relative close proximity (under 5 miles) the participants in the Annex and Loch Raven Gerofit programs rarely visit the other facility to participate. The yoga classes were well received by Veterans at both sites and average 10 participants a class. In consultation with Gerofit Program Manager the vendor will develop yoga classes for older Veterans enrolled in the Gerofit program. Gerofit participants are over 65 years old and have multiple chronic health conditions, these considerations must be factored into the level of difficulty in the yoga that is offered. Deliverables: Yoga classes designed for older Veterans with multiple medical conditions. In coordination with Gerofit staff, the classes designed in Task 5.1 will be delivered in two locations, the Annex building and Building 7 at the Loch Raven campus, once a week for one hour a piece. Deliverables: One hour yoga classes in two locations once a week. Security Requirements All work will take place in the group rooms of the Annex and loch Raven Robotics building gyms. The vendor will be current on all on the required VA safety and security trainings at all times. The C&A requirements do not apply, and that a Security Accreditation Package is not required: and proceed to the next question. Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE)/Government-Furnished Information (GFI). Yoga mats. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. The complexity of work to be performed under this contract is such that it requires training in yoga instruction. Successfully executing these tasks requires skill in developing and executing yoga classes for special populations, and monitoring participation for safety. Identification of Possible Follow-on Work: Based on the results of the work under this contract, it is possible that the number of classes may be modified or expanded. This is because how yoga classes will be received by Gerofit participants is unknown; therefore it is possible that changes may be required in this contract. Should such a need arise, the COR will submit a modification request. The Gerofit Program Manager will inspect the Contractor s work on an ongoing basis and based on her recommendations only the work that matches the Whole Health goals of the Gerofit program will be accepted. Ensure that a Contractor Security Control Assessment (CSCA) is completed within 30 days of contract approval and yearly on the renewal date of the contract. Ensure that the CSCA is sent to the ISO and the OCS Certification Program Office for review to ensure that appropriate security controls are being implemented in service contracts. Ensure a copy of the CSCA is maintained in the Security Management and Reporting Tool (SMART) database. COTR will provide a copy of the completed CSCA to ISO Place of Performance.
