- Description
- The 58th Signal Battalion located at Fort Buckner, Okinawa, Japan has a non-personal services requirement for continued Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the Joint Warfighter Inter-base Telecommunications Network (JWITN). The JWITN is the backbone digital transmission network for the Global Information Grid (GIG) on Okinawa, and consists of 20 sites and 21 communication links. The 14 fiber optic links and 7 digital microwave radio links that comprise the JWITN system provide inter-base Defense Information Infrastructure (DII) connectivity for all the US military bases on Okinawa at the direction and guidance of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The JWITN is managed exclusively by the United States Government (USG) and its employees. In addition, the USG provides immediate oversight of the contractor in the O&M of the JWITN on a daily basis. The USG provides oversight of all engineering services and support that the contractor may provide via execution of one of the support Contract Line Item Numbers. Periodically, the USG upgrades portions of the JWITN and during such time provides training, engineering installation plans (EIP), and updated network drawings. Logistic support plans (LSP) are also provided by the USG. The JWITN system includes all transmission equipment which includes fiber optic terminals, microwave radios, multiplexers, circuit conditioning equipment, patch and test facilities, alarm and monitoring equipment, timing and synchronization equipment, and DC battery and power distribution equipment. The JWITN is the telecommunication backbone that connects all black aggregate traffic between each and every camp, post, and station on the island of Okinawa. It is its own closed network where private user access is strictly controlled by DISA through the DISA Direct Order Entry (DDOE). The USG provides overall management, system administration and oversight of the JWITN. The contractor is to provide personnel, management, tools, and equipment not identified as USG-Furnished Equipment (GFE) to operate and maintain the communications-electronic (C-E) equipment and facilities of the Okinawa, Japan Reconfiguration and Digitization (JWITN-OKI) communications system.
