1.0 Background

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has comprehensive multi-year plans to secure America’s borders. The Federal Aviation Administration Logistics Center (FAALC) has been designated by the U.S.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as the Servicing Agency and independent Government entity with primary inventory control point activity responsibility (with depot-level authority) throughout the life-cycle of many of CBP's border security programs. The FAALC will provide engineering, technical, and logistics services to support CBP in the areas of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), management consulting, primary inventory control point, provisioning, and repair of CBP equipment.

The FAALC has been requested by the U.S. Border Patrol, Program Management Office Directorate (PMOD), to establish a Remote Video Surveillance System (RVSS) Centralized Network Operations Center/Security Operations Center (NOC/SOC) and 24 hours per day / 7 days per week Call Center (CC) for a number of deployed CBP RVSS and relocatable towers.

These RVSS deployments include: Northern Border Remote Video Surveillance System (NB-RVSS), Maritime Detection Project (MDP), California Coastal Surveillance (CCS), Arizona, and relocatable sites along the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). The NB-RVSS includes the Buffalo Sector and Detroit Sector, and currently, there are plans to include the Swanton Sector. The MDP has locations at Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair; however, this capability will be implemented near-term at Lake Champlain, NY. The CCS focuses on relocatable technologies.

The Southwestern Border (SWB) includes: Yuma and Tucson Sectors in Arizona and a Relocatable Pilot Program in Laredo Sector and Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector in Texas.

The centralized NOC/SOC will provide a single point of contact, a CC, that users and operators can use to report, document, track, and resolve system problems.

The United States Border Patrol (USBP) PMOD RVSS program management is responsible for the execution of the Portfolio of RVSS programs, which includes the RVSS Upgrade Program, NB-RVSS Program, MDP, CCS and relocatable pilots. The PMOD is responsible for the successful implementation of a Centralized NOC/SOC/CC capability for the RVSS Portfolio programs.

The priority is to incorporate the NB-RVSS and MDP sites into the RVSS Centralized NOC/SOC/CC, followed by the SWB sites. However, the NOC/SOC/CC capability must be scalable to accommodate the implementation of many other Areas of Responsibility (AOR) and emerging technologies in the future as they come on line.

The RVSS consists of three subsystems: sensor subsystem, communication subsystem, and the Command and Control (C2) subsystem. RVSS sensors are a collection of video and support equipment mounted on fixed or relocatable infrastructure along the US border. These sensors can include Electro- Optical and Infrared (EO/IR) video cameras, a laser illuminator, and other support equipment depending upon the specific site (e.g., spotlight, loud hailer).

The RVSS sensors transmit the surveillance video to the C2 center via a communications subsystem where the video is available for monitoring, storing, and archiving by USBP.

At this time, there are two distinct and different technology implementations for RVSS: one for the NB AORs and another for the AORs in Arizona and relocatable RVSS sites. Additional AORs are anticipated, but not yet defined.

FAALC/CBP P a g e | 5

There will be additional different technology implementations for the relocatable coastal deployments.

However, from a NOC/SOC/CC monitoring perspective, all implementations use Internet Protocol (IP) based devices with varying support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

1.1 NB-RVSS AORs and MDP Sites

The three NB-RVSS AORs, as shown in Figure 1, consist of three CBP sectors: Swanton, Buffalo, and Detroit. Each sector has its own C2 with varying number of RVSS that communicate with the C2. The Video Management System (VMS) and sensor control system at Buffalo and Detroit is currently Qognify and Boeing’s Visual Security Operations Console (VSOC) respectively, however there is a planned transition to Sensor Management System / Joint Perimeter Surveillance Command and Control System (SMS/JPSC2) supported by Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR).

Swanton will be on SMS/JPSC2.

The microwave backhaul in the communication subsystem is Harris Corporation equipment. The RVSS at the Swanton sector is currently in the planning phase, while the RVSS Buffalo and Detroit deployments have long been established and baselined. The current NOC/SOC/CC provider for Buffalo and Detroit RVSS sites does have a network connection into the respective C2s. The network connection is Secure Border Initiative Network (SBInet), which is an extranet into DHS controlled by DHS OneNet. DHS OneNet is a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) encrypted network.

The NB-RVSS sites are comprised of two camera sets with long range EO/IR cameras. Each camera set is controlled by a Pan/Tilt Unit (PTU) that provides 360º horizontal coverage and 180º vertical coverage. The four cameras (per RVSS site) provide standard definition video at 30 fps to the C2 using a microwave and/or fiber-optic connection.

In addition to the NB-RVSS sites, MDP is a technology demonstration project to determine if Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) radar and one set of long range cameras (EO/IR) will meet USBP requirements for detecting Surface Targets of Interest (SToI) during day and night operations while providing a common display of SToI data in near real time to a C2 system at Sector Headquarters (HQs).

The Area of Interest (AOI) in USBP Buffalo Sector is the eastern end of Lake Erie. The AOI in USBP Detroit Sector are Lake Saint Clair and the western end of Lake Erie. The requirement exists to expand MDP to all of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

The MDP system uses the same camera suite (one set) as NB-RVSS. MDP Buffalo sites are equipped with the Kelvin Hughes SBS-900-2 SharpEye X-Band radar. Radar Distribution Unit, Master PC-RP and SSR radar processor. The Detroit Gull Island site is equipped with the Vista Research, Inc (VRI) MRP- F50 consists of the VRI Maritime Radar Processor (MRP), VRI Radar Control Unit (RCU) integrated into a Furuno FAR-2157 (50kW) Scanner Unit (RSB-106);. The Swanton Derringer site consists of the Furuno FAR-2127 marine radar, Accipter Radar Remote Controller (RRC), Digital Radar Processor (DRP) and a Radar Data Manager (RDM). Buffalo MDP sites also have additional sensors to detect intrusion, fire, flooding, and temperature variance in the shelter using the EnviroMux sensor system.

All sites are connected to grid power and have either a battery backup system or are connected to a backup generator. Cameras, routers, switches, power systems, and microwaves are monitored and resettable by the existing NOC/SOC.

1.2 Arizona AORs

CBP implemented a comprehensive multi-year plan to acquire, field, test, and sustain layered technical capabilities to achieve improved situational awareness along the U.S. border. As a part of the assignment, USBP has deployed an upgrade of the existing RVSS in Arizona (Yuma and Tucson Sectors), as shown in Figure 2. This project is identified as the RVSS Upgrade (RVSS-U) Program.

The five Arizona AORs are at Nogales, Naco, Douglas, Yuma, and Papago Farms Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Ajo. Each AOR has its own C2 with varying number of RVSS that communicate with the C2. The VMS and sensor control system is PureActiv by PureTech Systems. The microwave backhaul in the communication subsystem is DragonWave equipment.

All five AORs have been established and in varying states of being baselined. The current NOC/SOC/CC provider for five AORs is a localized NOC/SOC implementation (i.e., there is not a DHS OneNet network connection.) The current NOC/SOC provider has a localized NOC/SOC implementation per AOR that consists of a NOC workstation and a SOC workstation with a division of NOC/SOC responsibilities. There is a centralized Customer Care Center (CCC) that covers all the RVSS-U deployment AORs.

1.3 Relocatable Tower Pilot AORs

The relocatable towers have recently been deployed. The two pilot deployments are using relocatable towers at USBP stations at RGV Sector (McAllen, TX and Weslaco, TX) and Laredo Sector (Laredo, TX), as shown in Figure 3. The total number of relocatable towers will grow significantly and are planned to be deployed throughout RGV and Laredo Sectors. The RVSS-U technology in the RGV, as well as the VMS and sensor control system will be the same as the Arizona AORs. The current NOC/SOC provider has a localized NOC/SOC implementation per AOR that consists of a NOC workstation and a SOC workstation with a division of NOC/SOC responsibilities (i.e., there is not a DHS OneNet network connection.) There is a centralized CCC between the AORs.

1.4 California Coastal AORs

In the CCS project, there is an initial planned deployment of several Relocatable Surveillance Systems-Maritime (RSS-M) in the San Diego Sector, as shown in Figure 4.

The CCS project is a technology demonstration to determine the performance and effectiveness of an integrated, land based RSS-M against a quickly evolving maritime threat, and to explore various aspects of technology in meeting the requirement.

The specific area of interest for this demonstration is the California Coastal Region.

The objective of this technology demonstration is to assess the capabilities (e.g. effective range, detection performance, camera performance, and multimodal communications) of today’s technologies, in the varied and challenging topography of the California Coastal Region.

Rather than deploy fixed surveillance towers, this technology demonstration is meant to assess the ability to relocate systems to respond to shifting threats.

The demonstration will deploy up to ten RSS-Ms, to be distributed among the available sites and relocated as needed. The CCS will be deployed along the California coast in USBP San Diego Sector.

The CCS RSS-M towers are currently in development for use in San Diego Sector along the California coast line; with an estimated deployment in 2019.

The CCS system will employ relocatable towers, which will be connected to the DHS OneNet using long-term evolution (LTE) cellular, satellite communications, and/or direct internet connections.

Alternative energy will be used to power the towers for 30 days of continuous operations when not connected to grid power (i.e., solar, generator, etc.).

A fixed long range surveillance radar will also be installed on San Clemente Island, CA and connected via fiber-optic service. Cameras, routers, switches, power systems, and communications systems will be monitored and resettable by the NOC/SOC.

RSS-M is envisioned to be equipped with a global positioning satellite (GPS) location monitoring system.

FAALC/CBP P a g e | 10

Figure 4 – CBP Stations in the San Diego Sector

1.4.1 San Diego Sector

The San Diego sector consists of the following:

1) Data center at the Air and Marine Operation Center (AMOC) in Riverside, CA

2) Up to three operator workstations at the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Joint Harbor Operation Center (JHOC) in the San Diego C2 facility

3) Three operator workstations at the Maritime Command Center (MCC) in the Long Beach C2 facility

4) Up to four CCS relocatable sensor systems

5) One long range radar site at San Clemente Island, CA

2.0 Objectives

The overall objective of this requirement is the replacement of the existing NOC/SOC/CC capability for the existing and planned RVSS sites with a Contractor Owned and Contractor Operated (COCO) facility that will be provided by the selected Contractor delivering a cost savings to CBP, increased visibility, and improved metrics reporting.

The RVSS Centralized NOC/SOC/CC is an effort to consolidate various RVSS NOC/SOC and CCC capabilities into one centralized location.

It is envisioned that this effort will eventually provide a single NOC/SOC/CC for all RVSS locations. The initial effort will address the NB-RVSS, MDP, Arizona RVSS, CCS, and relocatable RVSS sites. However, additional sites may be identified and eventually brought into this acquisition.

FAALC/CBP P a g e | 11

The solution will include the supplied and staffed centralized NOC/SOC/CC, operating 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year (24x7x365) and monitoring USBP border security surveillance systems in order to maintain system mission readiness and Operational Availability (Ao).

The Contractor supplied fully managed NOC/SOC/CC solution should be networked to the RVSS sites via DHS OneNet.

Contractor supplied NOC/SOC/CC should be highly scalable, for a phased deployment across the NB- RVSS, MDP, Arizona RVSS-U sites, Laredo and RGV AORs, and potentially additional existing RVSS legacy sites, as well as planned additional RVSS and relocatable deployments along the southern California coastline.

The scalability of the solution should include the possibility of expanding the NOC/SOC/CC support to additional USBP programs and deployed security systems. There will be separate Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) per AOR.

The NOC/SOC/CC will deliver Information Technology (IT) management and security services to the RVSS system. All functions of the NOC/SOC/CC will be oriented towards maintaining and securing the systems, the network, and the overall IT infrastructure.

The NOC/SOC/CC will perform a wide variety of functions for CBP’s border security systems, including monitoring, diagnosing incidents, resolving incidents up to and including a Tier 2 (reference §3.4.1) capacity, and managing alerts.

The NOC/SOC/CC will capture data used to calculate availability and performance metrics regarding all aspects of provided services. The NOC/SOC/CC will be required to monitor network attached border security systems and scan all systems for vulnerabilities so that CBP can maintain a consistent security posture across the AOR.

In addition, the NOC/SOC/CC will be an essential stakeholder in all system enhancements and the deployment of modernizations and innovations in border security technology.

The CC will provide Tier 1 and Tier 2 support (reference §3.4.1) and coordinate with NOC/SOC and CBP Field Service Representatives (FSR) to resolve and document incidents. The NOC/SOC/CC will also work with FSRs to resolve incidents that are detected by the NOC/SOC/CC monitoring system.

When necessary, the NOC/SOC/CC will need to work with the CBP designated In-Service Management Authority/Software Support Authority (ISMA/SSA) that supports the RVSS deployments.

A separate stand-alone test NOC/SOC instance will also need to connect to an existing and future RVSS test beds (which will be maintained by the ISMA/SSA) over a secure commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP) network connection (i.e., this will not be on DHS OneNet).

The test NOC/SOC instance must replicate the production NOC/SOC instance to the extent needed to support testing of security patches and Contractor software updates.

3.0 Statement of Work (SOW)

The Contractor must furnish all professional, technical and support labor, materials, supplies, management services, data, facilities, and transportation required to perform all requirements set forth within this SOW.

Work considered inherently governmental will not be assigned to the Contractor.

FAALC/CBP P a g e | 12

The Contractor must perform the services identified in this SOW with minimal assistance from Government personnel. Work will include, but not be limited to, the following:

Establish and maintain a COCO NOC/SOC/CC, staffed at appropriate levels

Monitor the RVSS stations and relocatable towers to ensure their availability, integrity, and confidentiality commensurate with associated risk

Interface with CBP personnel and systems to track and resolve incidents

Perform DHS/Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) required operational management, reviews, analysis, and reporting

3.1 Roles and Responsibilities

The NOC/SOC/CC roles and responsibilities are described in Table 1.

The NOC provides a 24x7x365 management capability for monitoring the health and status of CBP RVSS and for performing maintenance actions. The NOC provides system monitoring, health and status reporting, and security services for all CBP deployed RVSS.

The SOC provides a 24x7x365 security management capability for monitoring system conformance to DHS Security policy. Security monitoring includes monitoring and analysis of network traffic, intrusion detection through the inclusion of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), and security event incident response logging.

Additionally, it includes conducting and tracking security events, composing and distributing security alert notifications, and preemptive measures such as centralized logging, virus protection, and system hardening.

The CC provides a single point of contact that users and operators can use to report, document, track, and resolve system problems and account issues.

The CC also handles system change requests to the system as well as to personal accounts and associated access privileges.

The CC will use the Government provided trouble ticket system (currently Maximo but transitioning to BOSEC) in order to track, respond to, and report on user-reported issues.

The scope of this SOW also requires that the Contractor assist with the transition support from the current NOC/SOC/CC provider to the Contractor’s solution (as described in section 4.1.6).

3.2 High-Level Network Architecture

3.2.1 Future Network Connections for the Production NOC/SOC/CC Environment

Figure 5 – Future RVSS-Centralized Production NOC/SOC/CC High-Level Network Architecture

Figure 5 provides a future, desired end-state high-level network architecture for the Contractor’s centralized networked production NOC/SOC/CC environment (or instance) and it depicts the network connections between the production NOC/SOC/CC environment and the RVSS C2 sites.

All the hardware supporting the DHS OneNet network connections, including any Customer Edge (CE) routers at the Contractor site, will be Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). This is expected to be a Cisco ISR 4451 router.

The Government will provide access and establish the DHS OneNet network connections.

The Contractor is responsible for providing secure space to house DHS OneNet equipment and connecting Contractor equipment to the DHS OneNet network connections.

The area in Figure 5 labeled “Centralized NOC/SOC/CC” provides network and security services including user management, vulnerability monitoring and remediation, system availability reporting, health and status reporting, bandwidth analysis, and issue troubleshooting.

The “DHS and CBP Internal Resources” provides internal CBP system assets including email, shared drives, and internal facing websites.

In Figure 5, the Point-to-Point dedicated circuit connection (Red Line) are the RVSSU/NB-RVSS AOR Local Area Networks. These sites communicate with the centralized NOC/SOC/CC through a Point-to-Point connection.

The connection is used to send network and security status data to the centralized NOC/SOC/CC including high-definition streaming video at 30 frames per second which is required for system troubleshooting and display issues.

At times this information can be mission critical affecting the USBP Agent safety and well-being.

The DHS OneNet Connection (Blue Line) is the Centralized NOC/SOC/CC network connection to DHS and CBP Internal Resources using a DHS OneNet connection.

This connection is used to transfer Sensitive but Unclassified For Official Use Only (FOUO) and Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) data, send CBP email including monthly system scan data transmission to Office of Information Technology (OIT), and access DHS internal servers and websites.

Within the DHS and CBP Internal Resources lies the PKI CRL Server which authenticates user workstations at both the AORs and Centralized NOC/SOC/CC. For authentication from RVSS Local Area Network (LAN) sites, the request is routed from the AOR via the Point-to-Point connection to the Centralized NOC/SOC then to the PKI CRL server to via the DHS OneNet Connection to complete the request.

3.2.2 Future Network Connections for the Test NOC/SOC Environment

Test environments will be air gapped from DHS OneNet connections. To test the deployment of pushing patches and software upgrades to the AORs, there is a requirement to first conduct these activities in a test environment. To facilitate this requirement, a network connection is required between the Contractor’s test NOC/SOC environment and the various RVSS test beds.

Figure 6 provides a future, desired end-state high-level network architecture for the Contractor’s test NOC/SOC environment (or instance) and it depicts the network connections required between the test NOC/SOC environment and the various RVSS test beds.

The Contractor is responsible for the maintenance and staffing of the test NOC/SOC environment while the ISMA/SSA will be responsible for the maintenance and staffing of the RVSS test beds.

These network circuits will not be on DHS OneNet due to the fact that the test bed environments do not go through the CBP Authority to Operate (ATO) process, which is a requirement for DHS OneNet. Instead, they will be networked via a commercial ISP.

All the hardware supporting the network connections, including any CE routers at the Contractor site, will be GFE.

The Government is responsible for establishing commercial ISP network connections, with involvement from the Contractor in achieving connectivity.

3.3 Configuration and Asset Management

The Contractor will be responsible for their own Configuration Management (CM) and associated CM processes and procedures (e.g., maintaining the Functional, Allocated, and Product baselines (PBL) of the Contractors NOC/SOC systems) as well as executing the five traditional capabilities of CM which are as follows:

1) Planning

2) Configuration Identification

3) Configuration Change Management

4) Configuration Status Accounting (CSA)

5) Configuration Verification and Audit

The Government uses MIL-HDBK-61A (Military CM Handbook) for CM guidance and recommends that the Contractor use the same or GEIA-HB-649 (and associated EIA-649-B standard).

FAALC/CBP P a g e | 17

3.3.1 Configuration Change Management

The definition of major and minor changes can be found in MIL-HDBK-61A Table 6.2. The definition of a Class 1 and Class 2 changes can be found in EIA-649-B Table 4.

For changes to the Contractor’s configuration documentation in an Allocated or PBLs that meets the criteria for major changes (Class I) the Contractor must notify the Government. The form of notification from the Contractor to the Government of a major change (Class I) is left to the discretion of the Contractor.

For changes to the Contractor’s configuration documentation in the Allocated or PBLs that meets the criteria for minor changes (Class II), the changes are adjudicated by the Contractor with Government concurrence to the change classification.

The Contractor’s PBL must be described in a Version Description Document (VDD), a Network Description Document (NDD), and a System Description Document (SDD), see CDRLs 10-12 respectively. The Contractor’s must also provide a baseline Technical Data Package (TDP), see CDRL 19, to support a Physical Configuration Audit (PCA).

For any major (Class I) and minor (Class II) changes to the Contractor’s PBLs that effect these delivered documents, the Contractor will generate a document revision and re-deliver to the Government.

The Contractor must submit to the Government a Request for Variance (RFV) for a proposed departure from functional or non-functional requirements as specified in the RVSS Centralized NOC/SOC/CC Functional Requirements Document (FRD), Document Control Number (DCN)

ENT15-NOCSOC-00-000001.

3.4 NOC/SOC/CC Standard Operating Procedures

The Contractor must create a NOC/SOC/CC Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in accordance with (IAW) the associated Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) / Data Item Description (DID).

The troubleshooting DI for the NB AORs as well as for the SWB AORs will be initially supplied to the Contractor, however the Contractor must maintain these documents. The Contractor must develop and deliver the DI for the California Coastal AOR.

The CC service desk must be staffed 24x7x365.

The RVSS owner will inform the NOC/SOC/CC and Integrated Logistics Center (ILS) / sustainment Preventative Maintenance (PM) of all planned system outages (full and partial) at least five days prior to an outage commencement. The RVSS owner will inform the NOC/SOC/CC and ILS/sustainment PM of all unplanned system outages (full and partial) within one hour of an outage commencement.

3.4.1 NOC/SOC/CC Support / Troubleshooting

All incident resolutions must be entered in Integrated Logistics Support System (ILSS) Maximo and is tracked for the purposes of reporting Ao. Incidents will be assigned a Priority 1 – 3.

See Tables 3 and 4 for Priority Definition and Examples and Priority Responsibilities.

Priority 1 is a failure of the system’s primary function and/or any safety related issue. Priority 1 failures are all counted as system failures/downtime in the Ao calculation.

FAALC/CBP P a g e | 18

Priority 2 is a partial failure or degradation of primary system functions that impact primary functionality but mission operations are achievable with alternative methods. Priority 2 failures may escalate to a Priority 1.

Priority 2 failures do not affect the Ao unless they induce a Priority 1 failure. For instance, if the Priority 2 corrective action requires a repair activity that takes the system down then a child ticket is created as a Priority 1 to account for the downtime.

Priority 3 failures cause minimal degradation to the system operations. Priority 3 failures do not affect the Ao.

The CC provides Tier 1 support. The CC will receive the initial contact from system users and will create a service request in the designated tool (e.g. ILSS Maximo).

Tier 1 support is also preemptive/triage and the CC takes direct action to resolve system and network issue within standard operating procedures.

If the issue is resolved, CC will update the service request with details of the reported incident and the resolution.

If the incident is not resolved, the CC will create a work order in in ILSS Maximo which will escalate the incident to Tier 2 support.

The NOC/SOC/CC and supporting organizations such as FSR and ISMA are Tier 2 support and tasked to resolve the incident and update the work order.

FSR and ISMA support is governed by their Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Tier 2 is responsible for requesting Tier 3 support (system Contractor support) through ILSS Maximo, if they need Contractor assistance to resolve the issue.

Resolution by Tier 2, or above must be reported to Tier 1 for ticket closure.
