STATEMENT OF WORK POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND The Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) was created in 1994 as a distinct operating unit within USAID to help local partners advance peace and democracy in priority countries in crisis. Seizing critical windows of opportunity, OTI works on the ground to provide fast, flexible, short-term assistance targeting key political transition and stabilization needs. Countries experiencing a significant political transition in the midst of a disaster or emerging from civil conflict have unique needs that cannot be fully addressed by traditional disaster relief. Timely and effective assistance to promote and consolidate peaceful, democratic advances can make the difference between a successful or a failed transition. OTI assists in securing peace by aiding indigenous, mostly non-governmental, civil society and media organizations. OTI uses such mechanisms as support for re-integration of ex-combatants into civilian society; development of initiatives to promote national reconciliation; identification of quick-impact community self-help projects to meet urgent economic needs; and aid to independent media outlets and community-based organizations to help promote informed debate and broaden public participation. To respond quickly and effectively and meet its objectives and mandates OTI retains a group of high level professionals and experts under personal services contracts referred in OTI as the “bullpen”, serving on intermittent/part-time contracts to provide surge capacity for OTI in the field and in Washington. These knowledgeable and skilled professionals must be prepared to work both in the field and in Washington, often with little time for preparations. For more information about OTI and its country programs please see: http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/cross-cutting_programs/transition_initiatives/ INTRODUCTION The incumbent serves as an OTI advisor on Information Technology (IT) in support of OTI’s internal operations, and will also be asked to provide assistance to non-OTI organizations including OTI implementing partners in furtherance of OTI program objectives. Advice and assistance will be provided in the area of OTI information systems (including systems analysis, database design, and training) for OTI and OTI implementing partners. Advice and assistance will also be provided in analyzing OTI business practices, to recommend improvements to business systems where appropriate. The incumbent has a direct role in both the operations and the program activities of DCHA/OTI, learning from both in order to develop more effective systems and processes to further the implementation of transition programming overseas. The incumbent will, as needed, serve as a part of the DCHA/OTI country program activities as well as develop and maintain the systems that individuals in those program roles will use. This may involve, for example, short-term assignments to backstop or assist OTI Program Managers and others in the country program team or operations team when required in order to better understand the existing business processes, information flows, and types of data managed. This analysis should lead to the development of improved information system tools supporting transition programming. The incumbent will gain a keen understanding of OTI's operational and programmatic goals and combine this knowledge with a strong background in information technology to provide consultation on the development of OTI’s information systems. Assignments may involve temporary duty at any of OTI’s overseas development offices, as well as assignments to be performed from home or in the Washington office. OTI uses a Microsoft Access database to track and report on country program small grants and other activities overseas. The database system gives OTI an ability to manage and explain to others a diverse portfolio of OTI activities in many countries. The incumbent will: provide support to OTI Washington-based staff as well as OTI and Implementing Partner staff overseas; create enhancements to the program and ensure that the system maintains consistency with the program strategies and structures in each OTI country; and support and review the processes inherent in program management that maintain information flow to OTI managers, partners and stakeholders. OBJECTIVE The objective of this solicitation is to provide on-call information technology specialist capabilities to the OTI Bullpen. 9. CORE FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Because of the need for quick response and creativity in complex situations, the incumbent is expected to operate with certain levels of autonomy, responsibility and authority. The sensitive nature of the work demands that the incumbent be an individual with sound judgment, good teamwork, interpersonal, and analytical skills while also possessing a well-developed understanding of US policy interests. While the individual will be reporting directly to the Chief, Field Programs Division, given the close collaboration between the Field Programs Division, the Operations and Management Division, and the Program Office, it is extremely important that the individual maintain professional and collaborative ties between the divisions given the amount of cross-over between the various teams. The incumbent must have a strong background and interest in information system design. The incumbent must also have experience and interest in program implementation, and be able to accomplish a wide range of assignments on short notice. Since work may require continued changes in program direction and implementation, including frequent coordination, the incumbent must be highly flexible and willing to work under conditions of ongoing change. While the majority of the duties will take place in Washington, DC, the incumbent will also be sent, on an as needed basis, to a wide range of OTI project sites and proposed new country program sites. The incumbent will report to the OTI Chief of Field Programs or his/her designee, and also collaborate closely with the Operations Division Technology Specialist. The specific duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to: •Participate in planning, implementation, maintenance and support of OTI’s information management systems, including the OTI Activity Database, OTI Budget and Finance database, information sharing systems, collaboration systems, and other operational systems supporting the implementation of OTI transition programs, in close collaboration with the OTI Technology Specialist;. •In collaboration with the OTI Technology Specialist, investigate and propose opportunities to incorporate new technologies for use in OTI’s information management systems and in OTI’s programs that will help OTI meet its operational and programmatic objectives; •Assist the OTI Technology Specialist in reviewing Agency systems, policies, technical requirements and security requirements with respect to OTI’s information systems and business processes to ensure these systems are integrated with agency systems and adhere to agency policies and procedures; •In collaboration with the OTI Technology Specialist, train OTI Washington and field staff as needed on operations and management processes, which may include using OTI information management systems across all OTI programs worldwide (e.g. providing orientation to implementing program processes in conjunction with supporting information systems). Assist staff in obtaining IT support from designated sources, or provide direct support where appropriate. This includes but is not limited to providing small group or one-on-one training, and writing end-user documentation; •When requested, and in collaboration with the OTI Technology Specialist and/or the OTI Program Office Team Leader, provide technical assistance to OTI web coordinators in maintaining OTI’s various web sites on the agency’s Internet, extranet and intranet web servers; •If requested by the Technology Specialist, assist in coordinating with the USAID Office of Information Resources Management, the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance in their provision of IT support to OTI, and other offices or bureaus to leverage existing agency IT resources and maximize the effect of OTI's independent resources; •In collaboration with the Technology Specialist, perform assessments of OTI business processes and design information systems to support OTI's program activities. These systems may include: operational and programmatic information systems such as personnel, inventory, scheduling, annual reports; communication and collaboration tools such as websites, email tools, file sharing tools; programmatic tactical technology solutions such as PDA solutions, wireless and web-based systems. The incumbent will undertake special projects in conjunction with these assessments that may include assignments evaluating specific roles that are key to OTI business processes; •Special projects may include short-term assignments that involve requirements analysis accomplished in part through performance of business processes such as those listed below in order to assess appropriate changes to OTI information management systems, or adjustments to program processes that will result in improved program performance and effectiveness: •Participate with country program teams on strategic planning, decision-making, and implementation through consultation with Field Programs staff; •Assist in oversight of program contracts and support the CTO in facilitating good information sharing and flow of reporting between OTI and contractors; •Manage information flow for review, evaluation and assessment of country program; •Participate in design and implementation of new country program operations to include management, logistical, budget, administrative and contractual issues; •Perform other activities as required for the successful completion of country programs; •Perform other duties and activities as required and as related to this scope of work for the successful completion of the OTI mandate; •When required, assume higher representational responsibilities, potentially serving as acting OTI IT Specialist, or team leader for IT if requested by the Technology Specialist and approved by the Supervisor, or acting Program Manager within an OTI regional team (either in Washington or in the field) if requested by the Supervisor; •Mentor/train other OTI IT staff, Program Managers, and/or field-based staff as required; and, •Travel overseas in fulfillment of duties, as required. SUPERVISORY RELATIONSHIP: The Information Technology (IT) Advisor will take direction from and will report to the OTI Chief of Field Programs or his/her designee, and also collaborate closely with the Operations Division Technology Specialist. SUPERVISORY CONTROLS: While the Supervisor will set overall objectives, the incumbent is expected to take initiative, act independently, and manage his/her tasks with minimal supervision. 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.foia.state.gov/REGS/fams.asp?level=2&id=59&fam=0. 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).
