This is a Small Business Coordination Record (DD-AT&L (AR) 1862) documenting an initial coordination for a federal contract requirement.

The contract involves siding and installation services for 62 existing aircraft sunshade enclosures at MCAS Beaufort. The requirement, valued at $1,079,600, is being procured to physically prevent unauthorized Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) from accessing and potentially compromising high-value military aircraft housed within the enclosures. The work requires modifications to existing enclosures manufactured and fielded by Big Top Manufacturing, Inc., and must be dimensionally, structurally, and functionally compatible with the installed systems. The requirement is classified under NAICS Code 332311 and Product and Service Code 5410. The period of performance spans fiscal years 2026 to 2027, with the contracting office located at M6701 MCI-East under the Installation and Facilities Management command.

Market research identified no viable sources through AbilityOne, UNICOR, or GSA Advantage that can provide OEM-compatible tension-fabric side panels and installation services compatible with Big Top's proprietary CAGE 7P1M2 framework and tensioning system. Consequently, the Government intends to issue a sole-source award to Big Top Manufacturing. The requirement does not involve consolidated or bundled procurement, does not require a subcontracting plan, and is designated as a new requirement. A signed J&A (Justification and Approval) supporting the sole-source determination was uploaded on September 21, 2026.
