About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa, is conducting market research through a sources sought notice for passive defense capabilities, with responses due November 20, 2026. No set-aside is used, and the notice states that no award will be generated from this posting or related correspondence.
Place of performance is Aviano AB. Examples of passive defense systems include but are not limited to Bremer walls (T-Walls), Hesco barriers, jersey barriers, and fortified/hardened facilities. The Air Force prefers vendors able to produce or procure locally to shorten delivery and installation timelines, and it values the ability to surge capacity if needed.
Interested vendors submit a capability statement to the contracting officer associated with the posting, describing their ability to produce or procure passive defense systems. The contracting officer requests feedback on four points: whether NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) is the most applicable code and, if not, which codes better fit; issues in getting the local economy to support this requirement; concerns about the local manufacturing base; and concerns about coordinating delivery or installation. The PSC is Y1PZ (Construction Of Other Non-Building Facilities). Questions go to SSgt Milton Vasquez.
