STATEMENT OF WORK

United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Recruiting Facilities Program

Joint Recruiting Facilities Committee Bullet-Resisting Panels 19 August 2025

1.1 Introduction. The Joint Recruiting Facilities Program (JRFP) has a requirement to provide bullet-resisting capability for the workspaces inside all identified Military Services (Services) recruiting offices or other government specified locations. Bullet-resisting capability signifies that protection is provided against complete penetration, passage of fragments of projectiles, or spalling [fragmentation] of the protective material, to the degree that injury would not occur to a person standing directly behind the bullet-resisting barrier. The Services are comprised of the following: 1) Air Force; 2) Air Force Reserve;

3) Air National Guard; 4) Army; 5) Army National Guard; and 6) Navy. The bullet-resisting capability required shall be met with the procurement of bullet-resisting panels certified at a Legacy Level 8 or UL- RF-H designation, under standard UL 752-2023 of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Underwriters Laboratories (UL), “Bullet-Resisting Equipment,” to be installed up against existing cubicles, walls or in open areas. To establish uniformity and continuity of appearance and maximize the use of space for all recruiting Services facilities, the required bullet-resisting panels shall have fabric (on both sides), trim, and design features complementary of the existing cubicles. Note: Each Service has identified the appropriate fabric/trim colors to match their internal office colors.

1.2 Definitions:

Panel: For the purposes of this document, the term “panel” refers to the bullet-resisting panels certified at a Legacy Level 8 or UL-RF-H, under standard 752 of the ANSI/UL. No reference to the term “panel” in this statement of work is intended to be defined as anything other than a bullet-resisting panel. Each Task Order TYPE will be comprised of a “panel unit”. Each panel unit will be comprised of individual “panel sections”.

Location: For the purposes of this document, the term “location” refers to a leased location with an address.

Facility: For the purposes of this document, the term “facility” refers to an individual Services space at a location. The number of facilities at a location will vary from 1 to potentially 7 and may not be in contiguous space at the location.

1.3 Background. The JRFP has initiated steps to improve security of recruiting facilities. The JRFP intends to utilize freestanding ballistic panel cubicle wall partitions to go around the exterior of the current cubicle workstations, desks or open areas in order to provide increased protection to recruiters within most off-installation recruiting facilities. It is necessary to have a means of providing the Services facilities protection within the workplace from the outside or entering threat (from the front or rear).

It is also necessary that, the panels are to have a standardized appearance within all Services facilities.

The panel’s colors for each Service has been identified to match their existing color scheme in order to maintain the current office branding. The intent is to establish uniformity and continuity of appearance between all Services, maximize the use of space for all Services recruiting facilities, and provide a seamless appearance of the panels. Each Service’s recruiting facility refers to a single Service space at a given location. Most locations will have several Service facilities at a location. For example: A location might have four (4) Services present (Army, Air Force, Navy, and Air Force Reserve). Each Service (Army, Air Force, Navy, and Air Force Reserve) at this location has their own exclusive use space facility.

2.0 Objectives. The objective of this contract is to provide panels to all identified Services off-installation recruiting offices, located throughout the United States and its territories, which are UL 752 Legacy Level

8 or UL-RF-H certified, approved, and produced. The contractor will be responsible for coordinating with all of the Services facility locations, to execute shipping, delivery, and full installation as prescribed. The contractor shall complete these tasks while meeting the standards of safety, durability, dimensions, ergonomics, and structural adequacy of the new panels.

3.0 Scope. The JRFAC identified a need for the manufacturing, shipping, delivery, and installation of panels for all identified Services off-installation recruiting offices, located throughout the United States and its territories. These facilities are in Contiguous United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations. This requirement entails approximately 1500 facilities or less, with the potential for additional facilities throughout the term of the contract. The Government will provide the estimated quantities that are required at each location. An initial “master facilities” listing with locations and estimated quantities are included in Attachment (2). The list includes the facilities included in the fiscal year 2025 requirement. In accordance with FAR 52.211-16, Variation in Quantity, the amount of ballistic panels may change with the prescribed tolerance located in the referenced clause. Every effort will be made to identify the exact number of panels and minimize any deviation, but the winning bidder should expect some variation and plan accordingly. Some variation in delivery locations is anticipated in terms of delivery address within a location, however, locations will not change without amendment/modification.

4.0 Contractual Method. The Government expects an award of a Firm-Fixed Price Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) with a total contract capacity of $7,500,000. Task Order(s) of varying dollar amounts up to the capacity will be awarded within the five (5) year ordering period. The pricing list establishes the binding line item pricing for the five-year ordering period to issue task order(s). Task Order(s) will include a Master Facility List. Delivery dates will be proposed by the contractor, and approved by the Government. However, the 100% completion date is no later than 1.5 years of task order issuance. Government reserves the right to identify priority assignments for incorporation in the schedule on an individual facility/location basis due to emerging threats/conditions.

Requirements. The contractor shall produce panels that are Legacy Level 8 or UL-RF-Certified. To include shipping, delivery, installation, and warranty, as prescribed below. Provide Skin/Fabric replacements for delivery and warranty.

Individual Panel Sections & Overall Panel Sizes. The contractor is responsible for the production of Legacy Level 8 or UL-RF-H panels. Panels are defined within one of the Types listed below. The “L” shaped or straight panel systems will be comprised of different overall sizes as listed in the Types. There may be situations where a freestanding panel will be needed that is NOT in an “L” shape, but a straight overall panel only. The panels are broken down into Types and by “L” shaped or straight panels. The types and quantities are also outlined in the master facilities list in Attachment (2). However, within each of the overall “L” shaped panel unit sizes, there are individual panel section sizes that fit together to create the required overall panel unit sizes. The fewest number of individual cubicle panel sections are to be used to minimize the number of panel connections and maximize ballistic protection. An example floorplan for a recruiting office is provided as Attachment (4) (EACH location will be unique).

Attachment (1) shows an example diagram and pictures of the expected matching look and design of the cubicle panels. The diagram provided in Attachment (1) also shows an example of the individual cubicle panel section dimensions along with example pictures. These dimensions are listed as follows:
