The procurement involves a total of 24 sunshades designed to reduce direct and reflective glare while contributing to temperature control and operational efficiency in the air traffic control tower environment. The technical specifications require that shade films transmit no more than 6% of visible solar energy, 4% of ultra-violet solar energy, and reject 48% of total solar energy to meet FAA standards for ATC tower operations. The sunshades must be manufactured from polyester polymer meeting Federal Specification L-P-377b and constructed with Massachusetts Type SSLW-500-SR/Gray film with scratch-resistant coating. This market research phase indicates the Air Force is seeking qualified suppliers capable of meeting the specialized FAA requirements for aviation control tower window shading systems.
