The 92 Air Refueling Wing (ARW) at Fairchild AFB, WA, seeks to implement a modern LED Data Wall system for its Crisis Action Team (CAT). This project aims to enhance operational capabilities by allowing the display of up to eight independent data sources, both unclassified and classified. The contractor, required to be a U.S. citizen, will handle installation, including site surveys, removal of old equipment, and connecting new systems while ensuring compliance with cybersecurity standards. The contractor must provide training for ARW personnel and comprehensive support during the installation and operational phase, including six months of maintenance. Key tasks include configuring audiovisual systems, installing microphones and cameras, and ensuring user-friendly controls. The project emphasizes minimal disruption during installation and requires identification and background checks for contractor personnel to maintain security protocols. This undertaking reflects the ARW's commitment to modernizing its facilities for enhanced crisis response capabilities.
