About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Air Force Special Operations Command is conducting market research to assess competition for HESCO MIL 10 defense barriers under a Total Small Business set-aside, with responses due by September 22, 2026. This is not a solicitation and will not result in a contract award; responses are for market-research purposes only.

The MIL 10 is a multi-cellular, geotextile-lined welded mesh barrier system shipped flat-packed and deployable via standard engineering equipment such as front-end loaders. Each expanded unit measures approximately 2.21 meters in height, 1.52 meters in width, and 30.5 meters in length. The barrier features welded high-tensile steel wire mesh (4.0–4.88 mm nominal thickness) with 76.2 mm × 76.2 mm aperture spacing, coated with Galfan or hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion protection in severe outdoor and maritime environments. The geotextile liner consists of UV-stabilized, permeable, non-woven polypropylene fabric with minimum 250 g/m² weight to retain earth, sand, gravel, or crushed rock fill while permitting water drainage. Units are available in Military Tan/Beige or Olive Drab Green and ship fully assembled and compressed on standard pallets.

NAICS code 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) applies. PSC code 5680 (Miscellaneous Construction Materials) governs the procurement. Detailed specifications are provided in Attachment 1.

Notice text

ATTENTION: This is currently only Market Research and a notice to see if there is valid competition for this requirement. This notice does not constitute a solicitation. No contract award will result from this notice, and any quotes or other responses received will be used solely for market-research purposes.

TheHESCO MIL 10 is a multi-cellular, geotextile-lined welded mesh barrier system. It is shipped flat-packed on pallets and can be mechanically pulled open and filled with locally sourced materials (earth, sand, gravel, or crushed rock) using standard engineering equipment (such as a front-end loader).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Unit Configuration: Multi-cellular, accordion/flat-pack design connected via heavy-duty helical/spiral jointing pins, allowing rapid mechanical deployment and filling via standard engineering equipment (front-end loader/excavator).
• Nominal Dimensions (Expanded per Unit):
  - Height: Approximately 2.21 meters (7 ft 3 in)
  - Width: Approximately 1.52 meters (5 ft 0 in)
  - Length: Approximately 30.5 meters (100 ft 0 in)
• Wire Mesh Construction: Welded wire mesh manufactured from high-tensile steel wire with a nominal thickness between 4.0 mm and 4.88 mm (6 to 8 Gauge).
• Mesh Aperture/Grid: Nominal 76.2 mm x 76.2 mm (3 in x 3 in) spacing.
• Corrosion Protection: Steel wire must be coated with Galfan (Zinc-Aluminum alloy) or Hot-Dipped Galvanized to withstand severe outdoor and maritime exposure without structural degradation.
• Geotextile Liner: Heavy-duty, UV-stabilized, permeable, non-woven polypropylene geotextile fabric (minimum 250 g/m² weight) designed to retain earth/sand/gravel fill while permitting natural water drainage.
• Color Options: Standard Military Tan/Beige or Olive Drab Green.
• Logistical Packaging: Units must be shipped fully assembled, compressed, flat-packed on standard commercial/military-compatible pallets, and banded to prevent shifting during multimodal transport.
