GENERAL INFORMATION

C1. General: This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract's terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees.

C1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide the upgrade and renovation of existing commercial cellular Distributed Antenna Systems(DAS) components and equipment that are at end of life technology, and replace them with current 5g capability. The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment and consumables to upgrade capability in support of providing modern capabilities to the Cadet, Staff and Faculty of the United States Military Academy (USMA), Westpoint, New York.

C1.2 Background: The Chief Information Officer, G6(CIO/G6) has identified the need to upgrade the existing cellular distribution systems within key buildings due to the inability to support modern fifth-generation mobile network(5G) enhancements offered by the core carriers. AT&T, T-Mobile, and VERIZON, currently provide signals to the academy to enable cellular service to all Cadet, Faculty and Staff cellular phone subscribers. The carrier signals are distributed within the Academic buildings through a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) installed within each building.

These systems ensure that the cellular service signals are maintained within the buildings since outside antenna signals cannot penetrate walls and indoor barriers. These systems directly support life, safety, and administrative communications.

C1.2.1 The CIO/G6 has identified that the current equipment cannot support new and emerging capabilities of 5G cellular technology since the existing equipment was installed and manufactured before 5G was developed. Currently, the equipment can only support 4G LTE. The enhancement of the equipment to support 5G will provide all mobile subscribers with the following capabilities:

a. Faster Speeds. This enables high-quality streaming, fast downloads, and smooth video conferencing.
