Rapid Deployment and Environmental Hardening

The contract seeks specialized engineering services for the design and development of system enclosures and components that enable rapid deployment, reconfiguration, and sustained reliable operation under extreme environmental conditions encountered during dynamic flight tests. The work requires robust engineering solutions capable of withstanding the intense thermal, mechanical, and vibrational stresses inherent in high-speed aerospace testing environments, with an emphasis on modularity and field adaptability to support mission-critical flight test objectives. This is a total small business set-aside under the SBA program, restricted to small businesses classified under NAICS code 334511, which covers electronic instrument manufacturing. The contract is issued under the Department of Defense through the AFTC PZIO office, with performance required at Edwards, California, 93524. Proposals must be submitted by July 7, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the opportunity was posted on June 29, 2026. The subcontract nature indicates this work will support a broader defense acquisition effort, with technical rigor and environmental resilience serving as the primary evaluation criteria.
