PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Washington, D.C. 8. STATEMENT OF WORK POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND The Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) is the office within USAID that is responsible for providing emergency non-food humanitarian assistance in response to international crises and disasters. OFDA is part of the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA) and is organized into three divisions. The Disaster Response and Mitigation Division (DRM) is responsible for the provision of emergency humanitarian assistance through a grants mechanism to non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations (IOs) including the United Nations (UN) agencies, and to other partners to ensure the implementation and delivery of this assistance. This division also oversees OFDA's non-response efforts in disaster risk reduction. DRM also coordinates with other organizations for the provision of relief supplies and assistance. DRM devises, coordinates, and implements program strategies for a variety of natural and human-caused disaster situations. It encompasses a group of technical sector specialists who provide expert capability in assessing the quality of disaster response and disaster risk reduction activities. The Program Support Division (PS) provides programmatic and administrative support including budget/financial services, procurement planning and guidance, contracts and grants administration, and communication support for OFDA's Washington and field offices. The Operations Division (OPS) develops and manages logistical and operational support for disaster responses and administrative support to all offices and operations. OPS maintains readiness to respond to emergencies through several mechanisms, including managing Search and Rescue Teams (SAR), coordinating and supporting Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs), and the Washington-based Response Management Teams (RMTs), to ensure OFDA's capacity to execute and coordinate U.S. Government (USG) humanitarian assistance and response to natural disasters and complex emergencies. OPS performs these functions through several teams, namely, the Operations Support Team, the Overseas Administration Team, the Field Support Team and the Military Liaison Team (MLT). The MLT provides technical assistance and guidance, military liaison and consequence management of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) events. It also provides overseas support to OFDA offices and personnel and to other sectors necessary to ensure OFDA's capacity to execute and coordinate USG humanitarian assistance and response to natural disasters and complex emergencies. The Military Liaison Unit (MLU) is part of MLT and manages OPS liaison with the U.S. Military. INTRODUCTION Program areas of common interest between USAID and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) include, but are not limited to, humanitarian assistance (disaster response), counter-terrorism, strategic communications, conflict prevention and mitigation, counter-insurgency, post-conflict reconstruction and stabilization, resiliency, and transformational development. To ensure cohesion among policy goals and operational execution, USAID assigns Senior Development Advisors (SDAs) and OFDA Humanitarian Assistance Advisors/Military (HAA/Ms) to the DoD Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs), U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Pentagon. The USAID SDA serves as the principal USAID officer to the relevant Combatant Command (COCOM) and to the Pentagon, supporting the full spectrum of policies and activities across USAID's regional and functional bureaus and enabling and empowering the USAID perspective and operational priorities within DoD. The OFDA HAA/M has the lead on coordinating disaster response activities for USAID within the COCOM area of responsibility and to the Pentagon and reports directly to the OFDA Director. In all areas of activity, the SDA and HAA/M closely collaborate on their messaging to and activities with the GCCs, including sharing information and back-filling one another as necessary. It is also a joint responsibility of the SDA and the HAA/M to keep one another informed of the other's activities. The OFDA and Office of Civilian-Military Cooperation (CMC) Directors, through OFDA's MLT Leader and the CMC Plans Division Chief, prioritize and monitor close collaboration and coordination between their respective offices. At all points, policy and operational guidance is coordinated with broader technical guidance from the relevant USAID bureau, office, and/or team. The MLT Leader serves as OFDA's principal point of contact to coordinate with DoD on foreign disaster response and humanitarian assistance operations. In addition to coordinating the on-going activities of the MLT staff, the MLT Leader will also ensure that OFDA has sufficient coverage for DART deployments and RMT activations and oversee the portfolio for CBRNE disaster planning and preparedness. OBJECTIVE OFDA requires the services of an MLT Leader to be responsible for civil-military coordination for international disaster response and humanitarian assistance. 9. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The incumbent's duties and responsibilities will include the following: • Serve as liaison from USAID/OFDA to DoD in an effort to help the military coordinate international disaster response as part of a comprehensive USG response and within the broader humanitarian community so as to achieve the best use of military assets, including reducing redundant or counter-productive military activities; • Assist the military in defining and reconciling its role with that of the other members of both the USG and the humanitarian relief community; • Seek out methods to most effectively utilize DoD's unique capacities and strengths in foreign disaster response, planning, and risk reduction; develop and maintain systems through which DoD can coordinate its operations with USAID during foreign disaster response operations; • Represent USAID/OFDA in appropriate DoD training and planning exercises with subsequent reporting on activities, lessons learned, successes, and future activities as a result of participation; • Prioritize USAID/OFDA MLT staff engagement in DoD conferences, exercises and events related to international humanitarian assistance and disaster relief; ensure close coordination on all issues with USAID/CMC); • Establish productive relationships with relevant U.S. Military counterparts, such as DoD's Office of the Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy (DOD/OSD/P); USG agencies, such as State Department's Office of Counter-Terrorism; UN agencies and offices, such as the Civil-Military Coordination Section (CMCOORD) within the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA); NGOs; and other USAID offices, including USAID/CMC; • Support OFDA senior management in defining a strategy for military coordination, to include guidance for determining USAID/OFDA participation in DoD operations, operational direction for responding to specific requests, and assistance in determining how and where USAID/OFDA should request activities and participation; • Provide USAID/OFDA briefing and training to uniformed military officers and enlisted personnel as well as DoD civilians and contractors at various DoD educational institutions (service war colleges, National Defense University, Navy Postgraduate School, etc.) and supervision of civil-military training such as the Joint Humanitarian Operations Course, including overarching control of curriculum and teaching methodology; • Coordinate with DoD and other Departments and Agencies to provide USAID/OFDA staff with briefings on military procedures, assets, roles, capabilities, culture, chain of command, and humanitarian-related activities and circulate status reports which summarize DoD activities in which USAID/OFDA personnel may be involved; • Deploy with DoD forces in humanitarian emergencies and be available for deployment to the field as a DART team member; • Establish, oversee, and supervise USAID/OFDA Humanitarian Assistance Advisors to the Military (HAA/Ms) posted at relevant DoD Regional Combatant Commands; • Serve as supervisor and perform all relevant duties therein (including recruitment, retention and training of subordinate staff members) for the MLT based at USAID/OFDA Headquarters in Washington, DoD Regional Combatant Commands, and other locations worldwide. As supervisor, plan and assign work effectively and fairly; set realistic but challenging work goals; provide necessary resources, guidance, and training; counsel or evaluate personnel in their rating scheme; and recommend and take corrective action when necessary; • Be a resource for USAID/OFDA on working with the U.S. Military, including assisting in the identification of opportunities for DoD and USAID/OFDA staff and programs to cooperate in disaster response, preparedness and risk reduction activities and providing expert analysis and advice to high-level officials on complex program issues on international disaster response; • Plan and prepare strategies and policy or other documents related to complex program issues for new, substantive agency-wide programs where precedents were scarce or nonexistent; • Act as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or Assistance Officer's Representative (AOR) for CBRNE contracts or agreements, as appropriate and necessary, and perform functions such as monitoring of contractor/recipient's performance, managing agency financial systems such as Abacus, GLAAS and Phoenix and maintaining COR/AOR Certification and other training requirements; • Manage the activities of the MLT, including budget preparation and oversight. SUPERVISORY RELATIONSHIP: The MLT Leader works under the supervision of and reports directly to the OFDA/OPS Division Director or his/her designee. SUPERVISORY CONTROLS: The supervisor provides direction in terms of broadly defined missions or function, but the MLT Leader independently plans, designs and carries out programs, projects, studies or other work: results are considered technically authoritative and are normally accepted without significant change. 10.

ATTACHMENT 1 ACQUISITION & ASSISTANCE POLICY DIRECTIVE (AAPD) NO. 06-10 PSC MEDICAL EXPENSE PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY General Provision 22, MEDICAL EXPENSE PAYMENT RESPONSIBILITY (OCTOBER 2006) (a) Definitions. Terms used in this General Provision are defined in 16 FAM 116 available at http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/regs/fam/c23002.htm. Note: personal services contractors are not eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Health Programs. (b) The regulations in the Foreign Affairs Manual, Volume 16, Chapter 520 (16 FAM 520), Responsibility for Payment of Medical Expenses, apply to this contract, except as stated below. The contractor and each eligible family member are strongly encouraged to obtain health insurance that covers this assignment. Nothing in this provision supersedes or contradicts any other term or provision in this contract that pertains to insurance or medical costs, except that section (e) supplements General Provision 25. "MEDICAL EVACUATION (MEDEVAC) SERVICES." (c) When the contractor or eligible family member is covered by health insurance, that insurance is the primary payer for medical services provided to that contractor or eligible family member(s) both in the United States and abroad. The primary insurer's liability is determined by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the insurance policy. When the contractor or eligible family member is not covered by health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount of medical costs incurred and the U.S. Government has no payment obligation (see paragraph (f) of this provision). (d) USAID serves as a secondary payer for medical expenses of the contractor and eligible family members who are covered by health insurance, where the following conditions are met: (1) The illness, injury, or medical condition giving rise to the expense is incurred, caused, or materially aggravated while the eligible individual is stationed or assigned abroad; (2) The illness, injury, or medical condition giving rise to the expense required or requires hospitalization and the expense is directly related to the treatment of such illness, injury, or medical condition, including obstetrical care; and (3) The Office of Medical Services (M/MED) or a Foreign Service medical provider (FSMP) determines that the treatment is appropriate for, and directly related to, the illness, injury, or medical condition. (e) The Mission Director may, on the advice of M/MED or an FSMP at post, authorize medical travel for the contractor or an eligible family member in accordance with the General Provision 10, Travel and Transportation Expenses (July 1993), section (i) entitled "Emergency and Irregular Travel and Transportation." In the event of a medical emergency, when time does not permit consultation, the Mission Director may issue a Travel Authorization Form or Medical Services Authorization Form DS-3067, provided that the FSMP or Post Medical Advisor (PMA) is notified as soon as possible following such an issuance. The contractor must promptly file a claim with his or her medevac insurance provider and repay to USAID any amount the medevac insurer pays for medical travel, up to the amount USAID paid under this section. The contractor must repay USAID for medical costs paid by the medevac insurer in accordance with sections (f) and (g) below. In order for medical travel to be an allowable cost under General Provision 10, the contractor must provide USAID written evidence that medevac insurance does not cover these medical travel costs. (f) If the contractor or eligible family member is not covered by primary health insurance, the contractor is the primary payer for the total amount of medical costs incurred. In the event of a medical emergency, the Medical and Health Program may authorize issuance of Form DS-3067, Authorization for Medical Services for Employees and/or Dependents, to secure admission to a hospital located abroad for the uninsured contractor or eligible family member. In that case, the contractor will be required to reimburse USAID in full for funds advanced by USAID pursuant to the issuance of the authorization. The contractor may reimburse USAID directly or USAID may offset the cost from the contractor's invoice payments under this contract, any other contract the individual has with the U.S. Government, or through any other available debt collection mechanism. (g) When USAID pays medical expenses (e.g., pursuant to Form DS-3067, Authorization for Medical Services for Employees and/or Dependents), repayment must be made to USAID either by insurance payment or directly by the contractor, except for the amount of such expenses USAID is obligated to pay under this provision. The Contracting Officer will determine the repayment amount in accordance with the terms of this provision and the policies and procedures for employees contained in 16 FAM 521. When USAID pays the medical expenses, including medical travel costs (see section (e) above), of an individual (either the contractor or an eligible family member) who is covered by insurance, that individual promptly must claim his or her benefits under any applicable insurance policy or policies. As soon as the individual receives the insurance payment, the contractor must reimburse USAID for the full amount that USAID paid on the individual's behalf or the repayment amount determined by the Contracting Officer in accordance with this paragraph, whichever is less. If an individual is not covered by insurance, the contractor must reimburse USAID for the entire amount of all medical expenses and any travel costs the contractor receives from his/her medevac provider. (h) In the event that the contractor or eligible family member fails to recover insurance payments or transfer the amount of such payments to USAID within 90 days, USAID will take appropriate action to collect the payments due, unless such failure is for reasons beyond the control of the USPSC/dependent. (i) Before departing post or terminating the contract, the contractor must settle all medical expense and medical travel costs. If the contractor is insured, he or she must provide proof to the Contracting Officer that those insurance claims have been submitted to the insurance carrier(s) and sign a repayment agreement to repay to USAID any amounts paid by the insurance carrier(s).
