The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for providing Commercial Internet Services to the North Carolina Air National Guard's 145th Airlift Wing. Contractors are tasked with installing Direct Internet Access (DIA) fiber services at two locations: the primary base in Charlotte, NC, and a geographically separated unit at Stanly Co. Airport. The service includes a minimum bandwidth of 1000 Mbps at the main site and 500 Mbps at the secondary site, both scalable upon request. The contract spans one base year with four optional annual extensions, emphasizing quality control, security protocols, and contractor compliance with installation regulations. The government will not provide workspace, materials, or equipment, and the contractor must furnish everything necessary for service provision, ensuring a waste-free operating environment. Performance standards include high service availability, customer support response times, and training certifications for contractor employees. The document outlines detailed procedures for physical security, identification, and procedural compliance, highlighting the contractor's responsibility for safeguarding government property. This PWS's complexity ensures the air wing's internet services are reliable and protect sensitive operations, aligning with governmental standards for civilian contracts under federal regulations.

The file W50S87-24-Q-0017 addresses questions regarding the provision of commercial internet services at the base located at 39563 Warrior Way, New London, NC 28127. The primary inquiry concerns the feasibility of constructing a fiber build to this site, to which the response affirms permission, contingent on prior approval from base Civil Engineering, as existing optical fiber infrastructure (from Windstream and Spectrum) is already in place. Furthermore, clarification is provided regarding the extension of internet service from the nearest commercial demarcation point, confirming that technicians will extend the connection from a designated DEMARC point located in Building 1 at the same address. This document outlines essential logistical considerations for potential contractors responding to the federal RFP, emphasizing adherence to existing infrastructure and regulatory approval processes.
