QUESTIONS and ANSWERS #2 N6824622Q0091

1. Request use of Government’s last-mile fiber from base comm 25008 to hanger 7 and provide the port assignments

Technically, this request can be granted because <vendor> does have a current demarcation at

B25008. The issue that we discovered is that this request then needs to be made from the customer to BASECOM. Because BASECOM does not have direct authority to alter the cable/fiber on AAFB, that request then needs to be forwarded to the 36th Wing. Once granted, BASECOM can check the aforementioned area for fiber. It has not been determined if there are enough strands left for <vendor> to use, and this process can take anywhere from weeks to months.

2. Request what comm rooms will the NIPR and SIPR link be located in or will they be in 1 room?

3. both links will provide output to 16 ethernet ports for NIPR and 3 ethernet ports for SIPR.

4. who will be providing the switches for the 16 ethernet ports for NIPR and the 3 ethernet ports for SIPR?

The primary fiber run for the hangar lands in room 119 (unclass) This space will have the switches for NIPR and patches to connect fiber to the second floor communications spaces 221

(unclass) and SIPR room 208. All of these spaces have fiber patched to them for switch distribution to all wall outlets. SIPR Comms (208) room resides inside operations space which is already controlled as Secret.

Our COMMS room on the first floor, RM 119, is the only point in for external connections. We currently have (2) fiber lines in. That is all we require. We can deal with the port assignments portion, etc. We own all our network equipment.

5. Please advise what security requirements are needed for SIPR?

Vendor will handoff to VUP19 to handle security requirements in-house.

0. Once we establish the 2 1G links at hanger 7 and both links are giving 1G we will hand them off to the customer.
