Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, through the 1 Expeditionary Theater Support Group, Theater Contracting Office (1 ETSG/TKO), is conducting a Sources Sought for Pre-Fabricated Transportable Bunkers. This market research aims to identify qualified vendors capable of providing hardened shelter systems for personnel protection against blast and fragmentation threats, deliverable to Aqaba, Jordan. Responses are due by March 27, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ) but market research to assess industry interest and capabilities for a tentative requirement. The government seeks a turnkey solution for prefabricated, transportable, hardened shelter systems (PSC 5410, NAICS 327390). Key objectives include understanding vendor interest, identifying potential roadblocks, obtaining feedback on subcontracting/teaming, and assessing the feasibility of a total solution from open market contractors. The USG is also seeking comments on draft technical specifications and existing contracts that could meet this need.
Technical Specifications
Vendors should propose solutions for hardened shelter systems designed to protect personnel from blast and fragmentation threats. All proposed solutions must be deliverable to the Aqaba Air Cargo Terminal at King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, Jordan. Responses should include three potential delivery options (3, 15, and 30 days), a comprehensive description of materials, structural design, reinforcement features, and the protection level (e.g., blast force, fragmentation, ballistic impact) of each proposed bunker. While the total quantity is unknown, vendors are encouraged to provide pricing structures reflecting economies of scale. The USG's review priorities are delivery timeline first, followed by the protection level.
Submission Requirements
Interested parties should submit a capability statement or response, limited to three pages, addressing the objectives outlined in Section 2.0 of the notice. Responses should include any concerns, issues, comments, or suggestions. Submissions must also include company information, contract numbers, and brief descriptions of recent, relevant projects. Responses marked "Proprietary" will be protected. This Sources Sought does not commit the USG to issue an RFQ or make an award.
