AI Contract Overview

The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for a five-year IDIQ contract to replace, install, and dispose of medium-power Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) at the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF) at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The objective is to upgrade electromagnetic energy absorption capabilities to support higher-power Systems Under Test without thermal or performance degradation. The requirement involves the manufacture of RAM in four distinct configurations (A, B, C, and D) with standardized 24 by 24 inch bases, professional installation including surface preparation and legacy RAM demolition, and environmentally compliant disposal of decommissioned materials. Technical requirements specify that the RAM must be open-cell foam capable of withstanding at least 2 Watts per square inch for one hour and must meet NRL Report 8093 flammability standards. Installation requires precise geometric alignment with zero gap tolerance to prevent RF leakage. Environmental safety is paramount, requiring the use of HEPA filtration, negative-pressure containment, and 6-mil polyethylene sheeting to prevent carbon-dust migration. All waste must be transported via closed vehicles to EPA-certified facilities, with the contractor providing a formal Certificate of Disposal within 30 days of completion. This is currently a sources sought notice under NAICS code 326150, and interested offerors must be able to support all aspects of the requirement to be considered.

1. Purpose.
The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify capable sources for the procurement of high-performance, medium-power (MP) Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) in four distinct physical configurations, along with professional installation services (including surface preparation and precision mounting) and certified, environmentally compliant disposal services for decommissioned legacy RAM at the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF), Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), California. This comprehensive solution will upgrade electromagnetic energy absorption capabilities to accommodate higher-power Systems Under Test (SUT) without experiencing thermal or electromagnetic performance degradation. The resulting contract will be a 5-Year IDIQ.

2. Requirement.

The 772d Test Squadron (TS) at Edwards AFB, CA, has an operational requirement to replace and test medium-power Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) within the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF). The overall objective of the RAM is to eliminate multi-path RF reflections back to the System Under Test (SUT).

To accommodate advanced, high-power systems, the replacement RAM must offer increased power handling performance without suffering frequency-response degradation. To achieve this, the RAM must consist of open-cell foam with proportionally consistent pore sizes to facilitate the dissipation of heat generated by intense RF energy.

Please see attachment for further details.
