Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for a Primary and Secondary Crash Network upgrade at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ. This requirement involves replacing or upgrading the existing FORUM system with a new DoD VoIP Emergency Notification System compatible with current base infrastructure and FORUM phones. The system must include a visual feature for agency activation and support up to 20 parties at McGuire Field and 30 parties at Lakehurst Maxfield Field. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Offers are due by May 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST.

Scope of Work

The contractor will be responsible for the installation and testing (I&T) of the new crash network systems.

  • McGuire Airfield: Upgrade the Secondary Crash Network (SCN) to support 20 SIP sessions, including a user interface console/GUI and 8 Push-to-Talk (PTT) phones (total 28 endpoints).
  • Lakehurst Maxfield Field: Upgrade both the Primary Crash Network (PCN) and SCN to support 30 SIP sessions, including a user interface console/GUI and 14 PTT phones (total 44 endpoints). The Lakehurst PCN and SCN must be separate systems.
  • System Requirements: The new system must be standalone, JITC Certified/APL compliant, and not connected to the Base PBX or NIPRnet. All endpoints are phones. SIP sessions are individual connections, and the system should allow for arming/disarming individual phones.
  • Equipment & Installation: All materials provided must be new, NDAA compliant, and meet or exceed specified part numbers. The contractor will furnish UPSs, and manage all wiring (utilizing existing analog/copper where possible, providing new drops and fiber connections as needed). POE switches are used to convert fiber to endpoint connections via CAT 5 cable.
  • Deliverables: Include an acceptance test plan, operational hands-on training, an installation test report, and documentation for future maintenance. A one-year warranty for equipment and workmanship is required.
  • Base Access & Security: Strict security protocols apply, including background checks for all personnel (U.S. citizens only), compliance with antiterrorism awareness, and adherence to base security and safety regulations.
