About this file

This document outlines the requirements and service differences for the CNECTS (Communications, Network, Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Information Technology Services) contract consolidation across three Space Force installations: Peterson Space Force Base (PSFB), Schriever Space Force Base (SSFB), and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station (CMSFS). The CNECTS contract will retain certain services previously provided under legacy contracts, including NORAD/NORTHCOM services, marquee support limited to CMSFS, cable maintenance, non-AFNET cabling at CMSFS, preventive maintenance and inspections, help desk and client systems technician support, and various new additions such as network switch installations, zero client installations, executive communications, Cable TV management, printer management, and PNVC services. The contract specifies that certain services will be managed by the BIM (BIMS) contract instead, including AFNET OSP/ISP, AFNET cable break-fix, AFNET engineering, and AFNET 24/7 Network Operations Center support.

The document identifies services removed from CNECTS obligations, including database management reductions at SSFB, removal of the Network Operations Center and Vindicator services at CMSFS, mail room services, and certain infrastructure management duties. New responsibilities for CNECTS include AFNET NIPRNet and SIPRNet infrastructure management and network operations at CMSFS and SSFB, VoIP support, vulnerability management, land mobile radio services, spectrum management, and circuit actions. Service level agreements will govern relationships between 21 CS and squadrons with military or contracted personnel holding network administration rights. The document also notes potential activities, including NORAD/NORTHCOM's possible assumption of control over their infrastructure, operations, help desk, and communications focal point functions.
