PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Support to the Controls System Test Laboratory (CSTL)

1. INTRODUCTION: ERDC has several ongoing and upcoming research projects which have a need to evaluate Facility Related Control Systems (FRCS) and their interaction with the growing number of installation microgrids in an operational laboratory environment.

Department of Defense (DoD) installations have a growing number of control systems. There is potential for the coordination or integration of these systems to greatly improve situational awareness and operational management. Many technologies claim to provide part or all of this capability. Testing these devices in a functional network architecture will highlight any compatibility issues and/or cybersecurity concerns with other existing devices and equipment. Testing this capability in an integrated environment is important because it would highlight issues prior to deployment.

ERDC-CERL recently stood up the Control System Test Lab (CSTL) to address the FRCS testing gap, but additional system components are needed to provide the full range of testing services required to meet new and emerging Army control system requirements and goals. In line with this, CERL is using the CSTL to perform testing to support a demonstration project evaluating Managed BACnet. The contract is for the installation and integration of components into the CSTL. Activities beyond those required to install and integrate components into the CSTL as indicated are not within the scope of this contract. Activities outside the scope of this contract include cybersecurity engineering/configuration, cybersecurity testing, and functional product testing. There are no cybersecurity requirements associated with this contract.

2. OBJECTIVE: Support the execution of a project by supporting the installation, configuration, and integration of new technologies into the CSTL for future use by ERDC-CERL. Regarding DFARS Clauses 252.204-7012 & 252.204-7020, there is not anticipated to be any Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) involved in the performance of this contract.

3. MAJOR REQUIREMENTS: In order to accomplish the above objective, the Contractor must complete the following tasks:

a. Task 1. New Equipment Installation Support.

Provide support for the installation, configuration, and integration of new technologies into the Control System Test Lab by completing the following:

i. Participate in three (3) major install/integration sessions lasting one (1) week each, by serving as expert controls technicians in the CSLT for the installation and configuration of BACnet and BACnet SC technologies and integration of these technologies to the CSTL font-ends. The number of devices to be installed and integrated is estimated to be 24 and will not exceed 30.

ii. At the conclusion of each integration session, provide a brief written summary (maximum 5 pages) of the devices integrated, the front-end to which they are integrated, the network address(es) of the devices, and any issues encountered integrating those components.

b. Task 2. Configuration and Integration Troubleshooting Support.

Following the integration and configuration described in Task 1, ERDC CERL will begin using and reconfiguring as needed the new components and integrating additional components. Provide support for the reconfiguration and integration by completing the following:

i. Participate in eight (8) minor integration/troubleshooting sessions lasting up to four (4) hours each. Each session may be the integration of a single components or troubleshooting multiple components that are on a common front-end.
