Attachment 01 - Hesco Barriers Statment of Objectives.pdf

This is a Statement of Objectives (SOO) issued by the Department of the Air Force, 1ERS Mission Support Flight (USAFE) on 16 September 2026, for the procurement of Hesco barriers or functionally equivalent products at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus.

RAF Akrotiri requires barriers capable of withstanding weather conditions and high UV exposure. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and materials to deliver barriers meeting minimum specifications: the barriers must be able to fill with sand/gravel without leaking from sides or bottom; feature metal frames with fabric or other material lining; allow sections to link together; and maintain exact minimum measurements with no tolerance for error. Individual barrier sections measure 3.6 feet by 3.6 feet by 6 feet in height. Sections may be longer than minimum specifications if they can be shortened by the user while retaining full functionality. The facility layout diagram indicates the barriers will surround a 20-foot by 20-foot facility on a concrete pad, with the beige-shaded area representing the total barrier perimeter measuring approximately 42.7 feet by 37.7 feet. The SOO includes an illustrative example from Hesco.com demonstrating the intended appearance and functionality of the required barriers.
