5. POSITION TITLE: Support Relief Group (SRG) Humanitarian Assistance Advisor to the Military (HAA/M)
(Multiple Positions)
6. MARKET VALUE: $88,520 - $115,079 equivalent to GS-13 or $104,604 - $135,987 equivalent to GS-14

Final compensation will be negotiated within the listed market value and will include Locality Pay for
domestic USPSCs based on the location of the Official USAID Worksite, or the approved alternative
worksite if approved for remote work. USPSCs performing overseas are not entitled to Locality Pay.

This position can be filled at either the GS-13 ($88,520 - $115,079) or GS-14 ($104,604 - $135,987)
equivalent level, with place of performance locality.

Offerors who meet the minimum qualifications for a GS-13 will be considered for the GS-13 level
positions. Offerors who meet the minimum qualifications for a GS-14 will be considered for the GS-14
level only.
Salaries over and above the top of the pay range will not be entertained or negotiated.
7. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: USAID/Worldwide - Relocation expenses will not be reimbursed for U.S.- based positions.

There may be an initial training program in Washington, D.C. for up to one year, which will include
formal classroom training and on-the-job training; and may include security training.

After completion of Washington training, the HAA/M may be assigned to Washington, other locations
in the United States, or an overseas office, and will be required to serve through rotational
assignments. At any time, at the discretion of the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance’s (BHA’s)
Headquarters, the USPSC may be reassigned/relocated to a geographical location where the
individual’s services are needed.
Offerors for the HAA/M position must be willing to be posted at any location. The potential posts arelisted as follows, but the location of service could be ultimately determined by the location of future unknown operational requirements. BHA currently has established relationships with the Departmentof Defense’s (DoD) Combatant Commands (COCOM) in Miami, Florida; Honolulu, Hawaii; Tampa,Florida; and Stuttgart, Germany, where there is an BHA operational need to work with the military
independent of future country specific disasters. The BHA strategic plan also calls for assignment of
HAA/Ms in Washington, D.C.; Bangkok, Thailand; San Jose, Costa Rica; Okinawa, Japan; and Manama,
Bahrain.

Initial post assignments will be based on each offeror’s understanding of BHA and the humanitarian
assistance environment, each offeror’s background (i.e., language, regional experience, etc.), and
available post vacancies at the time of award.
8. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Five (5) years, tentatively 145 day estimated start date from closing

STATEMENT OF LIMITATIONS ON PERIOD AND PLACE OF PERFORMANCE:
The purpose of this contract is to establish an employee/employer relationship with the contractor to
perform services on a temporary, on-call, basis as part of the SRG. BHA intends to contract for these
services for a maximum of 250 days per calendar year. Activation days vary but will not exceed 250
days during each contract year.
The level of effort anticipated under this contract will be provided within the terms of this contract at
times mutually agreed to by BHA and the contractor. Upon identification of a temporary need within
the scope of work, BHA will contact the contractor and provide the following information:
1. Date contractor is needed to report to BHA or assignment in the field
2. Duration of Assignment
3. Place of Performance
The contractor will notify BHA within 24 hours of availability. At the time the contractor accepts the
assignment, he/she is expected to commit for the duration of the assignment. While the contractor
will be required to commit to a certain time period, it is understood that the exigencies of a disaster
may require the assignment to be extended (not to exceed 250 days). The contractor shall notify BHA
at the time of commitment if their existing schedule would preclude an extension. Notification of
schedule conflicts shall not necessarily disqualify the contractor from the assignment but will simply
assist BHA in recruiting a replacement. Subsequently, if the contractor agrees to an extension of the
duration of a particular assignment, thereafter, the contractor will be required to give BHA 10 days
notice for release from the assignment.

9. ELIGIBLE OFFERORS: U.S. Citizens Only

10. SECURITY LEVEL REQUIRED: Secret

If there is a change in circumstances requiring access to National Security information classified at the
Top-Secret level, the offeror may be asked to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented
Information level clearance as provided by USAID.
11. STATEMENT OF DUTIES

GENERAL STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE CONTRACT

The Support Relief Group (SRG) is a program developed by BHA to satisfy its growing need for surge
capacity. The SRG program brings on board select candidates who work full-time for discrete periods of
time, but on an intermittent basis for no more than 2007 hours (approximately 250 days) per calendar
year. They can be deployed within hours to facilitate BHA’s response to disasters, or to backfill staff in
Washington, D.C. and other locations. SRG staff can be used for activations as short as one day or for up
to several months at a time.
The SRG program is managed by the Surge Staffing Team (SST) in BHA's Response Resources Division
(R2D). This team maintains a database for all contracted SRG personnel, providing information to the
rest of BHA on their availability, skills, and previous experiences. SST assists the teams within BHA in
choosing the best qualified SRG for any specific task and provides administrative and personnel support
to all SRG. Each SRG incumbent will provide enhancement to the BHA team according to their skills. The
activation of the SRG Humanitarian Assistance Advisory to the Military (HAA/M) will be coordinated
between SST and the Civil-Military Disaster Operations Division (CMD) in the Office of Field and
Response Operations (FARO).

The SRG HAA/M will support the work of BHA around the world by providing critical liaison functions
between USAID and DoD to represent the humanitarian perspective and provide expertise in situations
where coordination between the parties is required.
