This document is a Statement of Requirements for Mobile Vehicle Barrier Systems for the 48th Security Forces Squadron (48 SFS) at RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom. The requirement is for fully portable, surface-mounted barrier systems capable of covering an 18.15m road entry with two inbound and two outbound lanes. Key specifications include arm barriers that can quickly drop down and block/unblock, compatibility with the existing center divider as an anchoring point, and the ability to operate via electric, hydraulic, or mechanical means with a manual override. The barriers must be weather-resistant, durable, easily deployable by one person, require minimal maintenance, and provide controlled access while maintaining safety for authorized traffic. Additional requirements include easy storage and transportation, adaptability for mission changes, and assembly instructions in English.

• Compatible with use of the existing center divider as an anchoring point.

• Provides controlled access capable of rapid deployment and retraction.

• Must allow both full-span and single-lane control as operationally required.

• Operable via electric, hydraulic, or mechanical means, with manual override capability in the event of power loss. No commercial power will be available.

(Ability to tap power lines or plug devices into power outlet)

• Weather-resistant, durable, and constructed of corrosion-resistant materials suitable for outdoor installation. Request vendor relay product information for resistance.

• Offers adaptability, with the ability to be relocated or reconfigured as mission requirements change.

• Enables rapid, reliable control of inbound and outbound lanes while maintaining safety for authorized traffic.

• Installed/deployed by one person.
