PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Tajikistan Interagency Communication system TORP 0216 Rev 04 september 24, 2014

1.0 MISSION OBJECTIVE.

The DoD Counter Narco-terrorism Program Office (CNTPO) was established to create worldwide Counter Narco-terrorism Technology (CNT) networks, infrastructure, and capabilities that are focused on the detection, identification, and disruption of narco-terrorist activities and organizations. This task effort will support the War Fighter in combating of Narco-terrorism globally.

2.0 SCOPE.

1.0 2.0 Task Order Objective.

The Task Order (T/O) objective is to procure and deliver additional units and equipment as part of the development of an Interagency Communication Network to enhance the Tajikistan Communications Network. Along with providing services and additional equipment as required outlined in Section 3, this T/O will focus on developing an architecture and integration plan for all equipment within the scope of this T/O. The ultimate objective of this project is to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the current Tajikistan Communications Network. Efforts regarding procurement, training, administration, logistical, and maintenance activities under this T/O will hereafter be referred to as Phase I of the Interagency Communication Network (IACN) Project. Activities under this T/O will support the Tajikistan Border Guards and other agencies specified in the PWS that perform Counter Narco-terrorism duties.

Previous efforts by the U.S. Government in counter-narcotics and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) have deployed internal communication networks for the Tajikistan Border Guards, Drug Control Agency, and the Ministry of Defense. Each of the agencies’ communication networks was developed independently to the requirements of each organization. IACN is the approach to link all the agencies within a geographical location to communicate via encryption-capable means during peacetime operations and/or during security incidents. The IACN is a “stand alone” communications system separate and independent of existing communications network systems historically existing in each of the agencies listed in Section 3.0 of the PWS. Unless otherwise stated; all references in the PWS to Government shall be the United States Government.

For the purpose of this PWS the term “End User” will be the radio systems operator of the respective agency(s): see Section 3.0.

Basic Contract References.

This T/O PWS establishes the requirements for the Contractor to provide support in the Basic Contract task area of 4.3.1.2 Technology Insertion, Systems Integration & Systems Engineering; 4.3.1.3 Installation; 4.3.2 Training, Operations, and Logistics support; 4.3.2.9 Training; 4.3.3.3 Information Technology (IT) and Communications Network Development and Deployment; and 4.3.3.4 Material and Equipment Purchase.

3.0 GENERAL PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT.

The Contractor shall design and deliver an encryptable voice and data communication system that provides at a minimum voice, email and pictures for the submission of basic SALT/incident reports, as well as a the capability to support an interagency communications network between agencies at various levels; (to include local, city and district levels.) This communication capability shall be called the IACN throughout this document. The enhanced horizontal communications capability between organizations shall support fixed, vehicle transportable and manpack/handheld configurations in support of Voice and Data Capable services. The Contractor shall provide the IACN that meets the performance requirements identified herein. Contractor shall be responsible for all required documents, customs fees, and taxes required in the delivery of all communications equipment/system components to Tajikistan.

Note: Contractor proposed solutions that include encryptable voice and data communication capability will be considered highly valuable to the United States Government and acceptable if the technical solution meets the IACN performance requirement.

Please note the example of the IACN included in the PWS is: for reference purposes only. [For Example, the IACN such as the one in the New York City (NYC) Area of Operations (AO) would have the ability to provide the first responder agencies a means to seamlessly communicate at the local HQ (Head Quarters) levels. The IACN, in this example, provides the NYC Police, NYC Fire Departments, NY Transportation police, Port Authority Police and FBI the ability to use their current radios, switch to a specific frequency and receive/provide input as needed. The agencies that do not have compatible radios or communication devices would be given new devices to provide the ability to receive/provide information as needed. At the same time, also allow for connectivity back to the State Capital. This would be the same concept being provided to the agencies of Tajikistan.] As stated in Section 2.1, some agencies currently have communication equipment in place to provide connectivity to their local Headquarters. The Contractor will determine if an agency requires this capability, as outlined within this document, and if it has existing radios/communication devices to do so (i.e., compatible with the IACN), will include this in their design if possible. If the same agency does not have any compatible radio/communications equipment, then such would be provided for IACN integration. Existing equipment that could be integrated into the IACN should be capable of monitoring various frequencies and determine traffic. When there is dialogue (break in squelch) the device should be able to jump to that frequency. Also, this frequency “hopping” should not compromise or interrupt the primary function of the existing communications device for that agency. If the radio or communications device does not have this capability, then a standalone radio or communications device dedicated to the IACN should be considered in the Contractor’s plan. The Contractor shall provide training and recommended Standard Operations Procedures (SOP) to these agencies. Appendix B (Equipment in Appendix B can be considered GFE) contains the agencies and radio types currently in use which the Contractor can leverage. If an agency is designated to be part of the IACN and no radios are available, the Contractor shall provide a capability for the agency to be integrated into the IACN.

The Tajikistan agencies that will participate in the IACN are as follows:

A. Border Guard B. Customs C. Ministry of Defense (MOD): MOI, Border Guard, Police, and National Guard Coordination.

D. Ministry of Interior (MOI) Internal Forces E. Ministry of Interior (MOI) Local Traffic Police F. Ministry of Interior (MOI) Detachment of Special Police OMON G. Emergency Operations Center: Police and National Guard Coordination.

H. Drug Control Agency (DCA) I. National Guard J. Committee for Emergency Situations (CES): Police and National Guard Coordination Although there are ten agencies participating, not all ten agencies will be present at each geographical location. The Agencies required to communicate at various echelon levels (Dushanbe, Region, District, Border Crossing or Remote Site Border Check Points) in a Horizontal manner are identified in the Base Year and within the Option Year Sections in this PWS.

T/O Break Down The current priority and installation plan for the T/O is as follows:

Base Requirement – Initial System Deployment - Pyandzh Option(s) Phases:

Option 1 - Khatlon Region Communication Requirements Option 2 – Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO) Region Communication Requirements Option 3 – Sugd Region Communication Requirements Option 4 – Dushanbe and Region of Republican Subordination (RSS) Region Communication Requirements Option 5 – Field Service Support 3.0 Base Requirement – Initial System Deployment - Pyandzh.

The Contractor shall develop an interagency communication capability solution that meets the requirement identified in Section3.2; by the Tajikistan agencies listed in Section 3.0. Each agency expected to participate in the IACN, along with their geographical locations, and bordering countries can be found in Table 1. These agencies are designated by “BnMn” (see Table 1, notation) in the table row. For example, in the Kulyab Area of Operations (AO), this area is considered a city and contains five (5) agencies that will need to communicate with each other. This schema continues to the other five locations within the initial phase.

The Contractor shall provide a best solution to meet the IACN requirements. Each agency belonging to the IACN shall have a base station setup(s) and vehicular setup(s), with all ancillary equipment for operations. The Contractor shall ensure each agency located within the operational area, or city, have an encryptable voice and data communication capability to all other agencies within the operational area. These operational areas are called out in Table 1 by the “agency locations”, and the agencies identified by the ‘BnMn’ (see Table 1, notation) shall have connectivity.

Period of Performance for the Base period is 12 months from time of award. The Option Periods are subject to change upon award/execution and availability of funds.
