1.0 SCOPE.

This Statement of Objectives (SOO) defines the requirement for the Contractor to furnish fiber optic cable (FOC) to be delivered to the 18th Communications Squadron. The contractor must also provide incidental services to install and test the FOC for each building indicated in all zones in the 18th Munitions area at Kadena AB, Japan. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, tools, materials, supplies, transportation, labor, supervision, management, and other incidentals necessary to provide a complete and workable system. The Contractor shall comply with the current Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) telecommunication installation and testing commercial standard and base installation standards. All equipment, supplies, and materials provided shall be new and not refurbished.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The 18th Munitions Squadron manages the Air Force’s largest munitions complex, encompassing 475 facilities across 5,900 acres. The majority of the facilities currently rely on outside plant copper cables to provide network connectivity and experience ongoing issues due to cable degradation. The new fiber optic cables will allow Voice over Internet Protocol to be implemented in each facility and to migrate away from the aging direct buried copper cables. Additionally, the fiber optic cable would be able to provide a reliable network path for Intrusion Detection Systems in secure facilities throughout the munitions complex. This will allow the facilities to comply with Air Force Instruction 31-101 and Department of Defense Manual 5100.76.
