This solution must provide complete GEN II wireless coverage in the facility as shown in the attached diagrams and comply with Program Management Office (PMO) directives. Please contact Ms. Myranda Smith myranda.smith@us.af.mil, 781-225-6406, regarding any PMO questions.

2. SCOPE

2.1. The facility located at Hurlburt Field is currently under construction and is anticipated that it will be available for use with a building occupancy date of May 2023. This Statement of Work defines the operational requirement to provide a Generation II wireless solution that will meet the mission needs of the 1 SOMXG. The work required would include site visit/survey, design, planning, installation, system configuration, testing, implementation, labor/parts/maintenance warranty and complete documentation of all hardware and software components for the proposed system.

2.2. General description of the intended solution: Gen II wireless to cover designated areas within the new SOF Maintenance Training Facility at Hurlburt Field, Florida.

3. REQUIRED OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY

3.1. The 1 SOMXG requires the ability to utilize network-based software including, but not limited to Standard Desktop software and Technical data associated with weapons training which is readily accessible through the AFNET.

4. REQUIREMENTS

4.1. The SOF Maintenance Training Facility requires AFNET wireless to facilitate “practical training conducted in a facility dedicated to load crew training that is of sufficient size to accommodate required aircraft, training munitions and associated support equipment.”. The mailto:myranda.smith@us.af.mil wireless is critical to the 1 SOMXG executing courses in support of Weapons Load Training in an indoor environment that is isolated from weather events such as lightening, torrential rain, and excessive wind.

4.2. The current Wireless architecture on Hurlburt Field is Aruba Wireless based with Aruba controllers and Aruba wireless end points provisioned on the AFNET network on a VLAN.

4.3. Site Visit/Survey: The SOF Maintenance Training Facility will need to be surveyed to determine physical placement, configuration, installation requirements and design to include end devices access points, mounting hardware, and all other components required to provide a turn-key Gen II wireless system in SOF Maintenance Training Facility. The drawing available in Attachment 1 of this document shows the required coverage areas for this facility. Attachment 2 shows the approximate placement of the wireless devices in the facility. Attachment 3 is a desktop survey provided by Aruba.

4.4. Design/Installation: All design proposals and installation scheduling will be reviewed and approved by the Government POC (see para 10.). Proposed solution must integrate with all existing systems identified in para 4.5.

4.5. Operational Characteristics of the Solution: The Gen II wireless solution will provide wireless capabilities and integrate with the BITI Generation II wireless currently deployed on Hurlburt Field and utilize government provided network infrastructure provided by ports from a Cisco 9400 series chassis provisioned with copper PoE blades, C9400-LC-48P Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series 48-Port POE+ 10/100/1000 (RJ-45), in comm room 202.

4.6. Contractor Provided Equipment/Responsibilities: The contractor provided Gen II wireless system for the SOF Maintenance Training Facility will integrate with the Hurlburt AFNET NIPRNet equipment located in communications cabinet of the new facility which consists of Cisco equipment described in para. 4.5. Access points in the facility will be mounted to utilize the government provided ports which are found in the space above the drop ceiling or on the wall. Any patch cable used between the jack and the access point must have strain relief mechanisms installed to ensure the patch cord stays in place. The horizontal Category 6 wiring for this project will be provided by the government unless otherwise noted. The contractor shall be responsible for connecting the access point to government provided Cat 6 wiring which is shown notionally in Attachment 2. Final port placement will be determined by the government. All government provided jacks and patch panels will be labeled IAW comm specifications and terminated in a T568A configuration and follow the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B standard. Power for the Aruba end devices is intended to be Power over Ethernet (PoE) but if that is not possible the contractor shall be required to install power to the end device. Cat 6 wiring will not be longer than 100 meters. The contractor shall only provide equipment that meets the Gen II Program Management Office requirements. The contractor shall coordinate with personnel named in paragraph 10 of this document prior to installation activities.

4.7. Government Provided Equipment/Local Infrastructure: The government will provide

Comm racks, power, and Cisco switches. Wiring for the access points will terminate in Government provided racks. All network switches will be Government provided and will be Cisco POE+ switch equipment and powered and connected to the AFNET prior to the arrival of the contractor. Floor plans will be provided to the contractor upon request in an electronic format (PDF).

4.8. Government Furnished Network Equipment.
