MVB3X Barrier System

The MVB3X Modular Vehicle Barrier System solicitation, identified by FA489726Q0024, seeks vendor capabilities for a specialized security barrier system designed for rapid deployment at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The requirement calls for two integrated configurations—one with 20 barrier units and another with 72 units—each accompanied by a fully enclosed, U.S. DOT-compliant trailer with dedicated storage compartments to protect the units during transport and ensure immediate readiness. The barriers must be modular, foldable for single-operator handling without tools, and capable of seamless integration with the existing MVB3X system to maintain structural continuity and stopping performance. Critical performance criteria include achieving a minimum ASTM F2656 P3 crash rating to stop a 7.5-ton vehicle traveling at 30 mph, incorporating open-framed designs with no solid metal surface exceeding 18 inches in width to mitigate use as cover in active shooter scenarios, and featuring aluminum-covered bottom edges for pedestrian safety. Each configuration must include sequential LED lighting systems—10 lights for the 20-unit package and 40 for the 72-unit package—providing 24+ hours of visibility from 3,000 feet, powered by rechargeable battery systems. All components must be painted a high-visibility safety color and comply with UFC 4-022-02 and AASHTO roadside safety standards, though the system is not required to be on the DoD Anti-Ram Vehicle Barrier list as long as it meets or exceeds all technical specifications. Submissions must include a capabilities statement limited to three pages, a SAM.gov profile, and any applicable SBA certifications, delivered via email to the designated contracting officers by 7 July 2026, with no submissions accepted through the SAM.gov portal. A 60-day delivery window follows contract award, and all quoted prices must include shipping costs. No formal evaluation factors, award basis, or contract clauses are defined in this sources-sought announcement, which serves solely as market research to assess industry capabilities. The contracting office, part of the Department of Defense’s 366th Contracting Squadron, is located at Mountain Home AFB, and responses are directed to Katie Sanderson and Jaclyn Fish. No set-aside status applies, and offerors must provide a current UEI and CAGE Code for consideration, with the NAICS code 332999 setting a 750-employee
