1. The Table of Contents, Exhibits is hereby amended to add Exhibit J, AIIS RFP Technical
Specifications.
“Contractor will provide maintenance services for the project in accordance with the
maintenance requirements outlined in this agreement. Such services shall commence
at the determination of the City.”
“All applicable applications shall be compliant with the Payment Application Data
Security Standard (PA-DSS) and validated by a Payment Application Qualified
Security Assessor (PA-QSA). A Contractor whose application has achieved PA-
DSS certification must then be listed on the PCI Council’s list of PA-DSS approved
and validated payment applications.”
1. This procurement incorporates implementation activities primarily in the ITB but includes
priced options for expansion services.
2. This project focuses on the ITB and replacing the existing systems. A few locations in the
other terminals that are supported by these systems today are also included. SUS Hardware
and CUSS kiosks in the ITB were recently upgraded. The scope of this project includes
implementing new server hardware, COTS software and all application software associated
with the systems in the ITB. Software licenses will be enterprise wide and perpetual. The
end user devices, and peripherals in the ITB will be reused. Except for CUSS kiosks units,
the Contractor will need to provide only enough hardware to ensure adequate sparing for
existing locations operations and maintenance.
3. Following successful implementation in the ITB, it is anticipated systems will be expanded
to include all Airport terminal buildings, subject to a schedule to be developed by SFO
management. Later implementations will include T1, which is currently undergoing
renovation. The extent of shared use in T1 is still being determined, but the following
scope will be included:
a. a portion of the check-in area and the gates will use the shared use passenger
processing technology; and
b. AODB and RMS will be expanded to include the management of all shared use
resources in T1.
4. The contractor will provide optional unit pricing to support new hardware and its
implementation throughout the airport. No additional application software licensing fees
will be required.
The current installation of BagLink supports the bi-directional flow of various types
of baggage messages, including but not limited to BSM, BPM, BTM, etc. The
baggage messages are received from the airline host systems via Upline client
connections into BagLink. This supports the receipt of BSMs from the hosts via
several different protocols. The messages are then filtered and forwarded to several
Downline clients including, but not limited to the Brock BHS and BRS systems.
These systems in turn generate BPMs which are received by BagLink and
forwarded on to the appropriate Upline systems, including the airline hosts.
PCI security requirements must be evaluated by the Contractor throughout the life
of the contract.
The configurations of any existing or new CUSS kiosks shall be coordinated with the
SFO Project Manager during requirements validation.
The Airport anticipates expansion of the SFO CUSS Kiosk system. Future
configurations may include expanding or relocating the kiosks deployed in the initial
contract. In addition, new kiosk locations may be configured in areas such as:
1. T1, T2 and T3;
2. the rental car return facility;
3. the parking garages; and
4. Hotels.
a. The Common Use Kiosks applications installed by the Contractor shall support
CUSS applications which adhere to:
i. IATA CUSS RP 1706c and the latest version of the IATA CUSS
Implementation Guide; and
ii. IATA CUSS Technical Specification (TS) Version 1.3.
b. The Common Use Kiosks shall support airline web applications through a common
browser interface. The browser interface must be capable of passenger document
check, printing passenger bag tags and boarding passes, along with processing
credit card transactions for each individual carrier (along with supporting other
requirements listed in section 11.4.2).
c. The Common Use Kiosks shall support a single, native web application which is
common to all carriers, and provides an open API through a hosted middleware
platform, to carrier departure control systems.
i. The front end user interface of this application shall be the same
functionally for all carriers utilizing this methodology of connectivity. It
shall support carrier specific branding, however the functions and layout of
the screen shall remain the same between carriers utilizing this option for
deployment.
ii. The middleware must be capable of retrieving a flight manifest for a given
flight, passenger booking via PNR and/or passenger name, perform
passenger document check, perform a check in, issue a boarding pass, issue
a bag tag, retrieve a seat map for a given flight and assign/change the seat,
assign baggage to a passenger and update a passenger booking.
4. System Management
a. System Management shall be performed on a computer with access to the CUSS
VLAN. User access must be protected by username and password, administered
by SFO.
b. The system shall allow kiosks to be organized into groups. The kiosks’ group
numbers would display in addition to the unique kiosk ID number on all reports
and screens.
c. The system shall provide warnings and error notifications via email when errors
occur. The kiosk software must have SNMP clients which can notify Contractor
Operations Center when:
i. the kiosk is low on paper;
ii. the kiosk cannot communicate with 3 or more airline hosts for more than
1 minute;
iii. the kiosk cannot communicate with one or two airline host for more than
15 minutes;
iv. the kiosk has restarted;
v. the kiosk is low on memory;
vi. the kiosk is low on hard disk space;
vii. the kiosk service door has been opened;
viii. excessive card reader errors (bad reads);
ix. excessive passport reader errors (bad reads);
x. a peripheral in the Kiosk is malfunctioning;
xi. the current airline application has held the focus of the Operating
System for more than 15 minutes;
xii. the UPS is on battery;
xiii. the UPS is on commercial AC;
xiv. the UPS battery is low; and
xv. absence of regular SNMP messages.
d. All SNMP messages and operator actions shall be logged in an electronic file
on the system core, including SNMP errors and operator-initiated activity.
Every 15 minutes, the SNMP agent in each kiosk shall report a health and status
message which includes the name of the currently active application.
e. The system shall allow an authorized user to take the following actions to
remotely affect the kiosk:
i. activate a new kiosk;
ii. deactivate an operational kiosk and place it into an out-of-service mode;
iii. reactivate a kiosk which is in out-of-service mode;
iv. set kiosk date & time;
v. load new common kiosk software;
vi. load new airline kiosk applications;
vii. load new airline logos;
viii. reboot a kiosk (may use the UPS for this);
ix. suspend an application;
x. resume an application;
xi. test a specific component;
xii. specify which airline logos appear and where they appear on the screen;
xiii. specify which airline kiosk applications operate on which kiosks; and
xiv. view statistics, print reports and export to Excel the following
information:
1. usage by air carrier;
2. individual kiosk utilization by hour with average transaction time;
3. individual kiosk utilization by airline application with average
transaction time based on:
a. number of transactions;
b. % of active time
c. % of total time
d. # of documents (Boarding passes, receipts, itineraries) issued;
4. individual kiosk availability;

indication shall be a screen with a different background and words to the effect
of “We Apologize, This Kiosk Is Temporarily Unavailable.” The message must
be configurable.

i. the thermal printer jams or is out of paper;
ii. there is no valid network path;
iii. one or more of the peripherals is not responding; and
iv. the kiosk is instructed to enter the mode via SMTP command from an
