The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for transitioning Local Telecommunication Services (LTS) at Battle Creek ANGB, MI, from low-speed time-division multiplexed (LSTDM) circuits to session initiation protocol (SIP) trunking. This transition aims to eliminate outdated technologies and ensure continuous telecommunication capabilities, particularly in mission-critical scenarios. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor, equipment, and services to facilitate the installation of transmission equipment while adhering to applicable regulations and standards.
Key deliverables include ensuring 99.99% service availability, prompt notifications of planned outages, and timely service restoration for various outage priority levels. The PWS requires a strong emphasis on security, personnel qualifications, and compliance with emergency telecommunications services. Additionally, the contractor must develop detailed installation and cutover plans to ensure a smooth transition without service disruption.
This document serves as a framework for the procurement process, guiding contractors in meeting the government's telecommunication needs while prioritizing performance-based outcomes and adherence to DoD standards.
