U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY

COMMISSION

Statement of Work GAO Cabling Project

Statement of Work GAO Cabling Project P a g e | 2

1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the Commission’s jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or can injure children.

The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.

The Agency has jurisdiction over 15,000 types of consumer products, from automatic-drip coffee makers to toys to lawn mowers. Some types of products, however, are covered by other federal agencies. For example: cars, trucks and motorcycles are covered by the Department of Transportation; foods, drugs, and cosmetics are covered by the Food and Drug Administration;

and alcohol, tobacco and firearms are within the jurisdiction of the Department of the Treasury.

CPSC works to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths from consumer products by:

1. Developing voluntary standards with industry.

2. Issuing and enforcing mandatory standards; banning consumer products if no feasible standard would adequately protect the public.

3. Obtaining the recall of products via refund or arranging for their repair or replacement.

4. Conducting research on potential product hazards; and

5. Informing and educating consumers through the media, international, federal, state, and local governments, private organizations, and by responding to consumer inquiries.

1.2 Scope

This Scope of Work (SOW) defines the tasks, deliverables, and performance requirements for the installation, testing, and documentation of structured cabling and wiring infrastructure to support network, voice, video, and peripheral services at the designated facility. The objective is to provide a reliable, standards-compliant cabling system that meets current and forecasted operational needs.

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools, equipment, transportation, and supervision necessary to install and certify new structured cabling (e.g., CAT6/CAT6A, fiber optic cabling) in support of IT operations, workspace build-outs, conference rooms, and specialized systems.

Work shall comply with federal IT standards, agency policies, and industry codes.
