Summary of Services:

The United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) provides data and services to globally distributed customers through the Human Performance Wing Support System (HPWS). HPWS is a ColdFusion and Oracle Web application that serves over 2.4 million views yearly to Air Force users worldwide. HPWS is maintained at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio by the HPWS Program Office, 711th Human Performance Wing/OMCI). The HPWS Program Office utilizes contract developer support to maintain and enhance software modules within the system.

The Web Developer will work in the 711 HPW/OMCI office and will provide new and updated capabilities to existing modules within the HPWS that directly support DCPH-D/OE. Examples include Automated Sampling Guide (ASAGE), Radiation Dosimetry Web (RDW) and Master Radiation Exposure Registry (MRER), among others. Some of these modules also use Microsoft SQL Server to interface with other AF systems. These modules may store and process HIPAA-related data and require specialized information assurance controls and practices to comply with applicable HIPAA laws and regulations

Working Hours

The Web Developer shall be available for work during the core working hours of 0900 – 1500 EST, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, unless stipulated otherwise by the Human Performance Wing Support System Office. The HPWS office normal working hours are from 0730 1630 EST Monday through Friday.

Regardless of Web Developers preferred daily start and end times, they must be working and available to USAFSAM and the HPWS Program Office during those core hours. This means being online (DAF365 Teams) and responsive to ad hoc voice communication, instant messages, and email.

The Web Developer who works remotely shall perform all work on government-furnished equipment (GFE) and all work will be performed using the government-furnished equipment (GFE). The Web developers will be required to supply their own Internet bandwidth in order establish a virtual private network (VPN) connection to the AF information network (AFIN).

Web developers who are teleworking will not be allowed to connect personally owned equipment (POE) to government furnished equipment (GFE). The exception to this rule is a hard-wired or wireless connection to a personal router for VPN connections to DoD networks.

No work performed by the Web developer on government-furnished equipment can be completed without first establishing a VPN connection using an approved Air Force VPN client. Government-furnished equipment is to be used for official US government purposes only. No work will be performed on privately-owned equipment.

Teleworking Web Developer shall not be permitted to print government information or materials on privately-owned printers. No privately-owned printer may be connected to government-furnished equipment, either wirelessly or through a hard-wired connection.

Government information and materials are not permitted to be stored on privately-owned, peripheral storage media such as CDs, DVDs, and USB-connected devices. At no time may non-government-approved storage devices such as optical drives, SSD drives or portable hard disks be connected to government equipment.
