About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers file for the 1FW Sunshades Netting federal contract opportunity. The solicitation seeks netting for aircraft sunshade structures at a military facility, with specific requirements for vertical netting that will serve as a wall barrier to prevent drone intrusion. The netting must withstand 400 degrees of heat from jet blast during aircraft taxiing, with fixed netting on row ends and retractable netting on north and south ends to allow aircraft entry and exit. The facility layout includes three rows with potential capacity for 15 aircraft (eight in the top two rows and seven in the bottom row). The netting will be hung vertically like an industrial curtain around the perimeter of open-sided sunshade structures, with no expected loading during heat exposure.
The solicitation is issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command under NAICS code 313210, with vendors required to certify their small business status if the NAICS code is not listed in their SAM profile. The opportunity is structured as a best-value solicitation, with potential vendors advised to contact Craig Gooden at craig.gooden@us.af.mil for any questions. The solicitation emphasizes the need for netting that can effectively block drone intrusion while withstanding extreme heat conditions associated with aircraft operations.

1FW Sunshades Netting Questions and Answers
1. Please include any photos of the area you'd like shaded, need to check which netting style just you need, I would like to know what these shade sails will be used for, in order to figure out a solution that will withstand 400 degrees of heat.
- These will not, in fact, serve as shade sails. The sunshade structures are already in place and provide a roof, but are open on all four sides. The netting will hang vertically like a retractable industrial curtain and serve as a wall barrier around the perimeter of each one of these structures to prevent drone intrusion The netting on the end of the rows will be fixed, while the north and south ends will be retractable for the entry/exit of aircraft. The requirement for withstanding 400 degrees is to mitigate damage from the jet blast of taxiing aircraft.
- Pictured below is an example of similar figher aircraft sunshades:
- Pictured below is higher top level view, with the top two rows potentially housing eight aircraft and the bottom row housing seven.
2. Can you tell me how these nets are being used?

3. Is the heat exposure temporary or sustained? What is the expected loading? Will the net be loaded at those extreme temps?
- Heat exposure should only be temporary due to jet blast from aircraft taxiing into or out of the aircraft sunshade. There should be no loading as the netting will hang vertically and serve as a barrier around the perimeter of the sunshade rows.
4. Is the net to be hung vertically or horizontally?
- Vertically
