The deflectors must be curved, non-perforated, galvanized corrugated steel with horizontal corrugations, modeled after the Lynnco Type GS-20-2, and must withstand the afterburner thrust of a B-1B bomber engine at 30,000 lbs of force, 90 feet from the deflector, with exhaust temperatures up to 1400°F and velocities near 900 MPH. All materials must meet strict specifications including minimum 2.0 oz. per square foot hot-dip galvanizing, SAE 1038 heat-treated bolts, and cadmium or zinc-plated fasteners; concrete or perforated deflectors are prohibited, and no welding is allowed in blast-exposed areas. Alternates require full-scale instrumented testing for pressure, temperature, and vibration, smoke-pot deflection verification, and two years of field service history with similar aircraft, all submitted for Contracting Officer approval prior to fabrication. Shop drawings must be reviewed and approved before any work begins, and material submittals must be submitted as original electronic PDFs via AF Form 3000—scanned documents are unacceptable. All work occurs in a restricted flightline area requiring strict security protocols: contractors must use only Tye Gate for access, submit a two-week schedule with daily work times, crew sizes, and locations to the Escort POC at least one week in advance, and maintain a fenced, clean, and mowed laydown yard that is restored to pre-construction conditions. Installation includes painting aircraft parking numbers on each deflector and mounting a 2’x2’ sign at a 15° angle on the backside per Drawing Sheet C2. The base performance period is 60 days after notice to proceed, with an optional 14-day period for additional work including removal and repainting of nine restricted area signs and 1,000 feet of red line. The solicitation is open to small businesses only, and while pricing details are not disclosed, compliance with technical and safety standards is mandatory for consideration.
