1. GENERAL: The Contractor shall supply all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, other items and non-personal services necessary to provide the Telecommunications Infrastructure Support Services (TISS) as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

1.1. Background: This document will identify the safety requirements, list of materials/specifications and performance work standards that will be required by the contractor. It is the vehicle that will allow the assignment of work to a contractor when the 1st Signal Brigade (1st SIG BDE) deems it necessary. This document is also synchronized with the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), which are mandated under Department of Defense (DOD) policy. The UFC system is prescribed by Military Standard (MIL-STD) 3007, UFC 1-300-02, Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard, Change 2, dated 01 April 2019 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria. The standard applies to military departments, defense agencies, and DOD field activities in accordance with (IAW) the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. The UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the continental United States (OCONUS) is also governed by the United States Forces Korea (USFK) Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA). Therefore, standard compliance is with the most stringent of the UFC, USFK SOFA, HNFA and/or BIA, as applicable.
