This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines a federal project (CTGB263202) for the Department of the Air Force to replace obsolete interior lighting in Building 641, Room 116, at Grissom Air Reserve Base in Indiana. The contractor must replace 24 fluorescent fixtures and 30 incandescent/CFL recessed CAN lights with a unified, energy-efficient, and dimmable LED system using CREE, Inc. components as the basis of design.
