About this opportunity
The Air Force Test Center (AFTC) is conducting market research to acquire sound dampening blackout fabric enclosures for Spectra Dome Visual Display Systems at Edwards Air Force Base and Nellis Air Force Base. The 445th Test Squadron requires 16 total fabric enclosures - four for Edwards AFB and twelve for Nellis AFB - with specific technical requirements including noise reduction from 65 dB to 35 dB, flameproof certification, and black double-sided construction. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit a capability statement and participate in a no-cost site visit during the Request for Information (RFI) period. The solicitation is currently in a draft stage, with responses due by January 30, 2024. Potential contractors must be prepared to adhere to strict security protocols, including background checks and Level 1 Antiterrorism Awareness training.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors. The contract falls under NAICS category 337920 (Blind and Shade Manufacturing) and PSC category 7230 (Draperies, Awnings, and Shades), which provides guidance on the type of businesses likely to be competitive. While no specific budget range is provided, the project involves precise technical specifications for custom fabric enclosures at two separate Air Force bases. Installation will occur during standard business hours (7:30 AM-4:30 PM, Monday-Friday), with contractors required to conduct their own site visits to verify measurements. The period of performance remains to be determined, and no pricing terms are specified in the current draft document dated November 1, 2024.
