This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a contractor to install a new 12-strand, 150-foot Single Mode (SM) fiber optic cable at the Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB) Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower. The project aims to upgrade the existing legacy multimode fiber linking the first-floor communication room to the observation deck, supporting the enhanced bandwidth, distance, and low-latency requirements of the upgraded Negation of Improvised Non-State Joint Aerial-Threats (NINJA) drone suppressant system. The contractor is responsible for routing the continuous fiber cable through existing pathways, maintaining 15-foot service loops at both ends, and installing rack-mountable Lightguide Interconnect Units (LIUs) with fusion-spliced LC-APC pigtails. Additionally, the contractor must decommission and properly dispose of the existing multimode fiber. Following installation, the contractor must conduct bi-directional testing using an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) and an Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, ensuring compliance with TIA/EIA-568 standards. All cables and ports must be permanently labeled per ANSI/TIA-606-C standards. Contractor personnel must be U.S. citizens, pass background checks for unescorted base access, and adhere to OSHA and Air Force safety regulations. Required deliverables upon project completion include digital and hard-copy test results, as-built drawings detailing the cable route, and manufacturer warranty documentation.
