Qualifications:

For bio approval, the PSS/PARA shall meet the following qualifications:

Applicants must pass the pre-employment Physical Readiness Test (PRT) in order to advance in the application process for the position.

Must be a U.S. citizen.

Must possess current and active National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians certification as a paramedic.

  • Certification must be valid prior to deployment, and remain valid throughout the period of deployment.

Must possess current approved Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Professional Rescuer certification or American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and Advanced Trauma Training credentials [i.e., International Life Support (ILS) or Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) or equivalent].

Must have successfully completed the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) course, or an equivalent tactical trauma course of at least 16 hours duration, within the last ninety (90) days. Completion of the PHTLS or ITLS course required in subparagraph C above does not satisfy this requirement. Must possess the following:

  • A minimum of three (3) years of pre-hospital emergency medical services experience at the AEMT or paramedic level. While the Government may accept military service as a medical provider (including special operations units) to satisfy this requirement, the Government will not accept service in which a non-medical provider (infantryman, vehicle operator, clerk, etc.) provides medical first response as an ancillary duty in satisfaction of this requirement. Work experience in a hospital or clinic setting does not satisfy this requirement.
  • A bio approved PSS/PARA does not automatically qualify to fill other P category positions, and requires separate bio approvals that must include the minimum experience outlined in this Attachment for other positions. (e.g. PSS require a minimum of one (1) year of experience in protective security assignments, but PSS/PARA does not require this experience, thus if the individual has this experience, they must demonstrate in a new bio submission for approval prior to filling a PSS position)

Attend and successfully complete the PSS training course, as outlined in WPS III IDIQ, Attachment 2, Training.
