Aircraft Sunshade Structural Design & Engineering

The contract involves structural engineering services for the design of cantilevered aircraft sunshades featuring standing seam metal roofs, specifically engineered to comply with Miami-Dade County and Florida Building Code standards in High-Velocity Wind Zones as defined by ASCE/SEI 7-10. The work requires robust structural analysis and design to withstand extreme wind loads and environmental conditions typical of South Florida, ensuring the safety and durability of the sunshade structures in a high-wind environment. The engineering must account for dynamic loads, material performance, anchorage systems, and long-term structural integrity under repeated exposure to corrosive coastal conditions. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330, which corresponds to architectural, engineering, and related services, and is tied to the Department of Defense through the agency identifier FA6648 482 Lss Lgc. The place of performance is located in Homestead, Florida, with a zip code of 33039, indicating the project will be implemented on or near a military or defense-related facility in that area. The solicitation was posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline of June 29, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, requiring proposers to submit technical and engineering proposals within a limited window. The project demands specialized expertise in wind load modeling and compliance with stringent regional building codes, focusing on structural performance rather than architectural or aesthetic considerations.
