PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)
AFSBN-Carson Conference Room Audio/Video System Modification 10 Sep 24
Part 1 General Information
1. 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.
1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide AFSBN-Carson Conference Room Audio/Video System Modification.
1.2 Background: AFSBN Carson needs to integrate a SIPRnet (classified) laptop into the Main Conference Room (MCR) Audio/Video equipment while maintaining capability to keep separation from NIPRnet (unclassified). Currently the MCR has the following capabilities: NIPR & SIPR VTC codec capabilities that cleanse conferences between the two systems on a dual LCD display setup, access to NIPRnet PC Microsoft Teams meetings, projector access for larger presentations, touch panel (tablet) access to a robust user interface that can access all cameras, LCD and projector displays, spider microphones, in-ceiling speakers, and automation of Classified and Unclassified briefing signs internal and external to the MCR.
1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s). The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform services as described in the PWS and associated contract documents, except for those items specified in Part 3 Government Property and Services. The Contractor shall perform to the standards and acceptable quality levels identified in this PWS and associated contract documents.
1.4 Objectives: The objective of this contract is to provide AFSBN-Carson the capability to use both SIPRnet and NIPRnet laptops fully integrated into the organization’s Main Conference Room audio/video equipment while maintaining proper classification separation under DoD TEMPEST regulations and guidances. The primary focused objective is to modify the current system to integrate a SIPRnet laptop into the existing equipment with minimal modifications and user touch panel configuration changes. The secondary focus is to warranty the entire audio/video system. The contractor will, for a period of 2-years, provide any onsite parts and labor work needed to keep the audio/video system operational for the Army Field Support Battalion at Fort Carson.
After collaboration with the Army Network Enterprise Center’s (NEC) Cyber team, AFSBN was informed that to integrate a SIPR laptop into the current system, major changes are required. The current VTC equipment rack system will need to be moved to the room behind the two wall mounted screens so that the SIPR laptop will be properly distanced from the rack equipment and visible and adjacent to the SIPR distribution box (PDS). This will require pulling all cabling from the wall and ceiling at the current rack location and reinstalling wiring in the room behind the dual LCD displays (approx. 10 feet away from current location. With the addition of the SIPR laptop being added to the system, a user interface program will need to be reprogrammed to allow users to easily manage on demand laptop access from the touch panel tablet and trigger the Classified briefing signs to turn on when selected. In addition to electrical separation between the SIPR laptop and the NIPRnet equipment, it is required that there be a physical ability for a human to manually disconnect NIPR equipment access while using the SIPR laptop. This disconnect will be on the display wall nearest the PDS. Vendor will provide full design schematics and operational user manuals for complete system functionality that includes the modifications in this contract work.

SPECIFIC TASKS
5.1 Basic Services: The Contractor shall provide services for designing and implementing a solution to integrate a SIPRnet laptop into the existing AFSBN Main Conference Room Audio/Video system. This will provided the SIPR laptop access to the dual display monitors, projector screen, spider microphone access from the conference tables, and audio access from the ceiling speakers. The system’s programmed user interface via a touchscreen tablet will be reprogrammed, modified, adjusted to include the addition of the SIPRnet laptop into the system. In addition, to meet TEMPEST requirements and Unclassified and Classified separation, the entire existing equipment rack will be moved/re-wired/re-homed to the adjoining conference room back “storage” room (directly behind the dual diplays) in compliance with current installation cyber security practices. All wires will be re-run from the existing wall location and ceiling locations in order to reach the new rack location. IMPORTANT: All purchased equipment will meet national electrical standards and not violate U.S. international trade regulations or embargos (e.g. TAA Compliances).
5.2 Tasks: Tasks consist of implementing the following:
5.2.1 Existing Equipment move. Existing audio/video equipment rack will be moved to the designated storage closet location. All wiring rehomed to new rack location.
5.2.2 New PTZ camera with bridging: The introduction of the SIPRnet laptop requires a remote controlled camera for teleconferencing via Microsoft Teams on the SIPR laptop. This will be controlled from the rack equipment via the main user interface on the touchscreen tablet at the head of the conference table. Product will meet or exceed industry IT standards for High Definition (HD) performance.
5.2.3 New USB extension for SIPRnet Keyboard and Mouse: This will accommodate the remote access of the laptop’s keyboard and mouse function from the head of the conference table.
5.2.4 New USB switching to separate SIPR/NIPR connections: Implement digital separation of SIPR laptop from NIPR laptop while one or the other is connected to the audio/video outputs to the user; IAW TEMPEST separation guidelines.
5.2.5 New Physical SIPR/NIPR separation (human contact): Implement a human physical cable disconnect for NIPR side equipment to be disconnected from audio/video system during SIPR laptop operations. Must be accessible on conference room wall side at a natural ergonomic height; near right main display monitor.
5.2.6 New SIPR Video and USB docking station extension: This will allow for the SIPRnet laptop to connect directly to a docking station that will then be interfaced into the rack equipment system for audio and video transfer to displays, microphones, and speakers.
5.2.7 New guest laptop access port: HDMI transmitter access port will be installed at head of conference table to accommodate a guest NIPRnet laptop to be able to access the conference room system for adhoc guest briefings.
5.2.8 New floor cable raceway: Professional cable raceway will be implemented to hide/protect cables from rack equipment to the head of the conference room table. This will meet standard safety requirements as well as cable management requirements.
5.2.9 New System Schematics: Contractor will provide full diagrams/schematics of system modifications and integrations into the existing audio/video conference system to the government.
5.2.10 System Walkthrough: Contractor will provide functionality walk-through and familiarization of implemented changes to the audio/video system. Specific focus on confirmation of SIPR laptop audio/video controls via keyboard/mouse, manual NIPR disconnect function, touch panel access selections, and SIPR sign illuminations when in use. Key staff will be present for a functional demonstration and Q&A session with the contractor.
