1.0 INTRODUCTION
1. The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to provide Security
Updates by updating operating software and provide testing,
commissioning, and training for updated operating systems and hardware.
This system must be Federal Aviation Administration certified compliant
in accordance with L-890 Airport Lighting Control and Monitoring System
with system providing control functions for start, stop, and monitor lighted
visual aids (runway lights, approach lights, stop bars etc.). The system
must monitor real-time status displays, alarms, and reporting. Must
provide failsafe methods for preset or last state/latching modes to ensure
safe operation in the event of a failure. The system must have a “Digitrac
Interface” feature to allow for supplemental monitoring and control
capabilities to pertinent airfield elements such as, but not limited to
Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), Selector Switches, Power
Generators, Wind cones, Beacons, Pilot Control, and various General
Elements allowing for Civil Engineer Maintenance teams and Air Traffic
controllers to be fully aware of airfield operational status. The system must
be modular by design allowing for each controllable element, such as a
CCR, Generator, Selector Switch, Beacon, etc., to have their own Digitrac
interface to communicate. The operating system shall use Windows 11 64-
bit IoT (Internet of Things) and long-term servicing Channel (LTSC)
providing a minimum 10-year support timeline including TPM (Trusted
Platform Module) 2.0, VBS (Virtualization-based Security), Memory
Integrity, Credential Guard, and meet DISA (Defense Agency Information
Security Agency) STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide)
Standards. Operating system must have capability to allow for
comprehensive, Real-Time Data generation for Air Traffic Control Tower
(ATC) and maintenance personnel a complete picture of the airfield
lighting system. The ALCMS must be Capable of sending an alarm
communicating time, location, and type of incident as soon as it occurs,
reducing the amount of preparation required to respond quickly and
efficiently. The system must allow for remote access for diagnostics and
troubleshooting through a secured remote VPN connection and the control
system must utilize encrypted communication and messaging channels.
The system must provide expand ability to support future operational
complexity while maintaining Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) Cryptographic Compliance, and FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Government
Cybersecurity Standard IAW Department of Defense (DoD) Cybersecurity
Mandate , and Federal Aviation Administration Full L-890 (A to D) Airport
Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) (AC 150/5345-56B)
compliance and ETL Certification at Barksdale AFB.
2.0 SCOPE

The scope also includes providing drawings, Hardware and Software
submittals, Software Demo Link, Data Base and Graphic Interface,
certification/commissioning of the entire system and include as-built drawing,
and all maintenance and repair manuals. The project scope will require a
schedule for any system outages to ensure notification to all appropriate
agencies to minimize impact to flying operations crucial to the on-going
missions on Barksdale Air Force Base. All equipment, supplies and materials
provided shall be new and not refurbished. Lastly, the contractor shall provide
start-up and training on the system.
2.1 EQUIPMENT AND MATERIAL
1. The contractor shall be responsible for all field measurements to accomplish
work. Quantity and sizes of materials shall be determined from site visits and
drawings. The contractor shall carefully examine the entire site and building
and shall make all necessary investigations to become thoroughly aware of the
existing conditions and all difficulties involved in the completion of the work
in accordance with the contract documents. Furthermore, contractors shall
