The 5th Armored Brigade at Fort Bliss, Texas, is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract to replace its degraded and hazardous training turf at Dagger Field with a permanent, high-quality artificial surface designed to enhance Soldier safety and readiness.

Two open green gaps of 22 feet and 12 feet flank the central lane on the west and east ends respectively. Exactly six white lines, each 82.5 feet long, run parallel to the width of the field. Centered within the lane area is the 5th Armored Brigade logo, measuring 15 feet by 7.5 feet, with specific color requirements: deep jet black for the primary “A” structure, crimson red for the lower half, white for the top half, and hunter green borders.
