About this opportunity
The 55th Contracting Squadron at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, on behalf of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, is seeking engineering and technical support services for High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) Hardness Maintenance and Hardness Surveillance (HM/HS) operations. The primary objective is to ensure survivability from a HEMP event through structured maintenance, testing, and inspection methodologies that prevent HEMP shield systems from becoming ineffective due to incorrect usage or inadequate life cycle maintenance. Key requirements include providing reliability, maintainability, and availability (RMA) metrics on HEMP Hardness Critical Items and Assemblies, conducting specialized testing such as Shielded Effectiveness Testing, Continuous Wave Immersion Testing, and Ultrasonic Shield Testing, and performing inspections and preventative maintenance in accordance with the HM/HS Plan and Procedures Manuals and MIL-STD-188-125-1A. This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes under FAR Part 10, and interested contractors must submit their responses by December 5, 2025. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541330 (Engineering Services).
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. The anticipated contract structure includes a one-year base period with four one-year option periods and a potential six-month extension available for exercise in accordance with FAR 52.217-8. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, nor are any incumbent contractors or current service providers identified. While this RFI represents planning and market research activity rather than an active solicitation, it provides potential bidders an opportunity to express interest and demonstrate their capability to support HEMP HM/HS engineering and technical requirements over an estimated five-and-a-half-year performance timeline.
