All other terms and conditions to remain unchanged. The Minnesota Air National Guard intends to issue a Firm-Fixed Price contract for non-personal physical health services in support of the local Optimizing Human Weapon System (OHWS) Program for the 148th Fighter Wing, Duluth, MN. This requirement will support approximately 40 individuals. See attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). A Certified Strength and Condition Specialist and an Athletic Trainer are required. Physical Therapist and Massage Therapists are desired.Background: Up to 85% fighter aircrew surveyed reported some type of spine discomfort during their career. According to a study performed by the United States Air Force (USAF) school of Aerospace Medicine, neck pain is a significant factor impacting fighter pilot performance and quality of life, and rates of injury have increased over the years. The OHWS initiative is designed to improve quality of life and readiness by decreasing injury rates, most notably for the high rate of spine injuries incurred by fighter pilots. OHWS is designed to meet the unique physical needs of fighter pilots. Fitness and conditioning is accomplished through a comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary physical training program focused on the movement and strengthening of the spinal musculoskeletal system. The purpose of providing the services of an OHWS specialist to our rated pilots is to reduce frequency and severity of injuries and time lost from service, improve long term quality of life, optimize human performance/readiness, avoid injury prior to occurrence, increase pilot production, and support pilot retention. ## Award on USAspending - Recipient: Aegis Elite LLC (UEI XAWAPMY9QB83) - Contract: W50S7F25PA013, purchase order - Obligated: $103,933.00 - Competition: Competed Under SAP, 16 offers received - Link: solicitation number W50S7F25Q0026 equals the FPDS solicitation identifier; same awarding office W50S7F (high confidence) - Record: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_W50S7F25PA013_9700_-NONE-_-NONE-/ ## Publications - July 21, 2025: Combined synopsis and solicitation, due August 1, 2025 at 11:00 AM EDT.
