SUBJECT: Radio Systems Communication Upgrade (RSCU) for 19 AW and 19 OSS flying missions Statement of Work (SOW) at Little Rock AFB, AR.

1. SCOPE. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements for a Contractor to Engineer, Furnish, Install, and Test (EFI&T) into service, an upgrade to the 19 OSS Radio requirements and this collective effort will be known as the Radio Systems Communication Upgrade (RSCU). The 19 OSS Flight Line Radio Systems require conversion to fiber optic connectivity. This requires provisioning of fiber modems from the Ground to Air Transmit and Receive (GATR) site, Bldg.

335 to locations requiring Radio Access. The RSCU will be a standalone system which will be installed separately from any existing comm systems except for Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber connectivity. There are some building/system specific requirements, listed below, that require additional actions. The RSCU will be a standalone system which will be installed separately from any existing comm systems except for OSP Fiber connectivity. This project shall replace the existing manufacturer discontinued Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) Channel Banks with fiber optic transmission systems (FOTS). See Table 1 & 2 for RSCU locations and requirements per location. All future references to Government Furnished shall be reflected as (GFE). All locations are on Little Rock AFB, AR.

* Since the B 160 Alt Command Post cannot be in the fiber ring and must be singularly connected back to the GATR, One TC COMM Jumbo Switch shall serve Buildings 214, 216, and

314. A Second GATR 2U Jumbo Switch shall serve the B 160 Alt CP. So, 16 each TC Comm Radio interfaces in first Jumbo Switch and 4 each TC Comm Radio interfaces in the Second Jumbo Switch.

1.1. Proficiency description. Contractor EFI&T FOTS supporting Control Tower, RAPCON, and the combined Command Post and Airfield Management access to the TX/RX Radios at the Transmitter and Receiver sites respectively. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirement for the Contractor to engineer, furnish, install and test (EFI&T) into service, a RSCU for multiple Little Rock AFB flying missions. The 19 OSS Flight Line Radio Systems require conversion to fiber optic connectivity. This requires provisioning of fiber modems from the Ground to Air Transmit and Receive (GATR) site, Bldg. 335 to locations requiring Radio Access.

The RSCU will be a standalone system which will be installed separately from any existing comm systems except for Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber connectivity. There are some building/system specific requirements, listed below, that require additional actions. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, tools, materials, Test Equipment, supplies, transportation, labor, supervision, management, and other incidentals necessary to meet the requirements as stated in this SOW. The

Contractor shall comply with the current TIA Telecommunication Installation and Testing Commercial standards and base installation standards. All equipment, supplies, and materials provided shall be new and not refurbished.

1.2. At each location, the Government shall provide wall board space so the Contractor can install their 66 Blocks for analog and GFE Fiber Optic Patch Panels (FOPP) for digital interfaces. All Government analog circuits cross connections shall be Contractor EFI&T with 66 Blocks (Contractor EFI&T) at each location with 24 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper pairs.

For inter-building digital connections, the Contractor shall EFI&T fiber optic jumpers from their EFI&T FOTS to that facilities’ serving FOPP. Most FOPPs fiber connectors are LC type. All Contractor cables shall be supported on/in between 18-22 inches by Contractor EFI&T tie wraps, Velcro straps, conduit, raceway, and/or J Hooks. The Government shall provide analog and fiber cross connection cut sheets and participate in all cross connections with the Contractor.

1.3. Before installing equipment in any cabinet, the Contractor is responsible to coordinate with Government Representatives (GR) that the cabinet is properly grounded. If it is not, the Government shall take all required actions to ground the cabinet properly.

1.4. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to test all FOTS Equipment, UPS, blocks, and cables to ensure that they meet all standards and requirements. The Contractor shall correct any deficiency and provide the COR all testing results. The Contractor shall provide an end-to-end test on all circuits to ensure that there is minimal interference and correct functionality.

1.5. The Contractor shall EFI&T all materials, and perform all work to include making all crossconnection assignments and changes required to complete requirements as specified in this SOW. The Contractor shall provide a List of Materials to include all equipment to be installed.

The Contractor shall coordinate all installations through 19 OSS and 19 Contracting Officer Representative.

1.6. Note, HQ AFFSA directs all flight lines have the same equipment to streamline maintenance and enhance flight line safety. HQ AFFSA has directed all FOTS equipment utilized shall be manufactured by TC Communications, Inc. Ergo, the Contractor shall only EFI&T TC Communications FOTS.
