Wireless Network Deployment at Peterson Space Force Base

DoD Instruction 8420.01, effective December 9, 2025, establishes policy, responsibilities, and procedures for the use of commercial wireless local-area network (WLAN) devices within the DoD, covering both unclassified and classified information. It mandates Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3)-Enterprise 192-bit mode as the encryption standard and specifies minimum security measures for DoD-owned and operated WLAN-enabled portable electronic devices (PEDs). The instruction clarifies the use of non-DoD WLAN systems and promotes reciprocity by requiring all DoD unclassified WLANs to support authorized DoD employees. Key responsibilities are assigned to the DoD CIO, DISA, USD(I&S), and other DoD components for ensuring compliance with industry standards, cybersecurity certifications, and physical security measures. The document also outlines procedures for WLAN security, authentication, guest access, and intrusion detection/prevention, along with exceptions for certain WLAN technologies.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for designing, developing, and implementing a Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at SOCNORTH HQ, Peterson Space Force Base. The project aims to extend SIPRNet and NIPRNet over a government-controlled network, adhering to NSA and USSOCOM CSfC standards. The work is divided into three phases: Study and Design (CLIN 0001), Equipment Procurement and Installation (CLIN 0002), and Testing and Validation (CLIN 0003), with a final CLIN (0004) for documentation. Deliverables include High-Level and Low-Level Designs, equipment installation, testing reports, and as-built documentation. The government will provide essential information and equipment. Performance standards emphasize signal coverage, minimal interference, and strict security compliance. The project requires adherence to security regulations and is structured with specific Contract Line-Item Numbers (CLINs) for each phase.

This Performance Work Statement outlines the design, development, and implementation of a Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at SOCNORTH HQ, Peterson Space Force Base. The project aims to extend SIPRNet and NIPRNet over a government-controlled network, delivering an NSA-compliant wireless solution through a three-phase approach: Study and Design (CLIN 0001), Equipment Procurement and Installation (CLIN 0002), and Testing and Validation (CLIN 0003), with Final Documentation (CLIN 0004) being Not Separately Priced. Key deliverables include High-Level and Low-Level Designs, as-built documentation, and testing reports. The contractor must adhere to NSA CSfC, USSOCOM, DoD STIG, and NSA Common Criteria security standards, ensuring 95% signal coverage at -65dBm and a 25dB SNR. The period of performance is 60 days after award, with government-furnished equipment and support provided.

The “COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS for CLASSIFIED (CSfC) Continuous Monitoring Annex 1.1.0” outlines guidance for implementing Continuous Monitoring (CM) in CSfC solutions. This document, published by the NSA’s Cybersecurity Directorate, provides a framework for customers and integrators to establish secure communications using Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) products. The purpose of CM, as defined by NIST SP 800-137, is to maintain awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support risk management. The Annex details a multi-layered approach to CM with eight distinct Monitoring Points (MPs) strategically located across Black, Gray, and Red Networks. These MPs collect data from various sources like Network Taps, IDS/IPS, and system logs, which are then aggregated and analyzed by Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. The document also addresses consolidated monitoring through Cross Domain Solutions (CDS), multi-site environments, high availability, and specific requirements for each MP, along with logging and general CM mandates.

The Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Campus Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Capability Package V3.1, dated January 28, 2025, provides configurations for securely implementing classified solutions using layered Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products. This document outlines a reference architecture and configuration guidelines for federal, state, and local entities to deploy secure campus wireless networks for End User Devices (EUDs) accessing classified data. The solution employs two layers of NSA-approved cryptographic algorithms (IPsec and WPA3 with AES 256) to protect data in transit across Black Networks. It defines Red, Gray, and Black network classifications and details infrastructure components like WLAN Access Systems, Gray and Inner Firewalls, and Gray/Red Management Services. The package also specifies requirements for EUD components, including Mobile Device Fundamentals (MDF) EUDs and Composed EUDs, emphasizing layered security, continuous monitoring, and strict authentication protocols (including multi-factor authentication). The document is vendor-agnostic and mandates compliance with CNSA and CNSS policies, providing a framework for secure government wireless communications.

This document outlines the essential data fields required for cataloging and tracking items within a government procurement or supply chain system. It specifies critical information such as Manufacturer Name, Manufacturer Part Number, Item Description, and Additional Information for comprehensive item identification. The document also details logistics and ordering parameters, including Quantity, Unit of Issue (UOI), Supplier Addendum (Supp Add), Delivery Destination, Requested Delivery Date, Ordering DODAAC, and Ship-To DODAAC. These fields are crucial for ensuring accurate inventory management, efficient procurement processes, and precise delivery of goods in federal, state, or local government operations.

This Performance Work Statement outlines the requirements for designing, developing, and implementing a Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at SOCNORTH HQ building on Peterson Space Force Base. The project, executed in three phases (Study and Design, Equipment Procurement and Installation, and Testing and Validation), aims to extend SIPRNet and NIPRNet over a government-controlled network. Key deliverables include High-Level and Low-Level Designs, equipment procurement and installation, comprehensive testing, and final documentation such as as-built documents and heatmaps. The contractor must adhere to NSA, USSOCOM, and DoD security standards, with strict performance metrics for signal coverage, interference, and security compliance. The government will provide some equipment and necessary technical support.

The provided document outlines the cost structure for a project, likely an RFP or grant, divided into four contract line items (CLINs). CLIN 0001,

The document provides answers to questions regarding Solicitation H9229526QB001, which concerns a WLAN/WAP deployment for the SOCNORTH facility. Key information includes the facility's two-floor layout, with 60% of the wireless network on the ground floor and 40% on the second, which contains a Top Secret (TS) restricted data center area. Attendance at the optional site visit on May 11, 2026, is strongly encouraged for offerors to understand the project scope. No security clearance is required for the site visit, as participants will not access the TS area. All site visit notes and information will be posted to SAM.gov as an amendment to the solicitation.

The document provides a basic map and gate hours for a facility, likely a government or military installation, given the context of federal files. It details the operating hours for the West, East, and North Gates, including specific inbound and outbound times for the North Gate, which is noted as being closest to SOCNORTH HQ (Building 30). The map also indicates parking areas, Building 2, and the TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility), along with directions to the East Gate. The purpose is to guide personnel and visitors to and from the facility and its key locations.
