- Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2) Statement of Work ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST NIGHT TIME SERVICES (First Half of the Month "1-15") 1. SCOPE OF CONTRACT a. The Roman Catholic faith is a significant cross section of patients and staff requiring religious support at NMCSD. Approximately 30% of the hospital nature of pastoral care to Roman Catholics is sacramental in nature. The celebration and administration of sacraments requires the presence of a Catholic Priest. The decreased availability of Navy Catholic Chaplains has created a situation in which adequate Catholic coverage is not available at NMCSD. Therefore, it is essential that Contract Catholic Priests are available to provide pastoral care and sacraments to Roman Catholic patients and staff at NMCSD. b. The work to be performed is located within the Pastoral Care Services Department, Naval Medical Center, San Diego (NMCSD). An ordained Roman Catholic priest shall provide Roman Catholic on-call and scheduled non-personal services. c.

The contractor, although in fact not a Government employee, shall comply with Executive Order 11222 of May 8, 1965, "Prescribing Standards of Ethical Conduct for Government Officers and Employees", and shall also comply with Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Navy (DON) regulations implementing this Executive Order. 2.
