BAK-14 HSRO Barrier Arm Assembly Supply

The contract entails the supply of 48 new High-Speed Rollover (HSRO) BAK-14 barrier arm assemblies designed for emergency aircraft arresting operations on runways, to be integrated with existing BAK-12 energy absorbers. These barrier arms are critical safety components that must meet stringent performance and compatibility standards to ensure reliable operation during high-speed aircraft intercept scenarios. The work is part of a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by the W7N8 Uspfo Activity Wiang 115, with the North American Industrial Classification System code 336413 indicating aerospace product and parts manufacturing. All units must be delivered and configured to seamlessly interface with current BAK-12 systems without requiring structural modifications to existing infrastructure. The solicitation was posted on May 2, 2026, with responses due by 2:00 PM on May 18, 2026. The place of performance and delivery details are not explicitly defined, implying flexibility in sourcing or logistics as long as the final integration occurs at designated military airfield locations. There is no set-aside designation specified, meaning the contract is open to any qualified subcontractor regardless of business size or certification. The technical scope focuses exclusively on the manufacturing and delivery of the barrier arm assemblies, with no mention of installation, testing, or maintenance responsibilities, which are likely handled separately under other contracts or by the integrating entity.
