About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Code 5300, Radar Division, is seeking 33 units of specialized copper ground mesh for an antenna array installation supporting the Homeland Defense Over-the-horizon radar program. The procurement is structured as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products under FAR Subpart 13.5, requiring vendors to be original equipment manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors, or resellers with proper documentation confirming their authorized status from the manufacturer. The ground mesh must meet precise technical specifications including #10 copper-clad steel wire with 30-40% conductivity, silver brazed joints, mesh dimensions of 216 inches by 2400 inches with an 8-inch overhang, and a 12-inch by 12-inch grid size. Evaluation will be based on compliance with specifications, delivery capabilities, supplier risk assessment, and total price, with technical compliance and delivery being the most important factors. Quotes must be submitted directly to the contract specialist via email by August 20, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST.
This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and will be awarded as a firm fixed-price contract to the successful vendor. The contract requires delivery of all 33 ground mesh units to NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Chincoteague, Virginia, within 12 weeks from the date of award. Each mesh unit must be individually rolled on a disposable spindle and delivered via flatbed truck to create a ground plane for improved electrical conductivity in the sub-scale receive array system. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget ranges for the procurement. The technical requirements specify that the mesh will have total outside dimensions of 232 inches by 241 inches and serve as critical infrastructure for the antenna array's electrical performance. Performance will occur at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility location in Virginia, supporting the broader homeland defense radar initiative.
