Rapid Thermal Cycling System

The contract seeks the design and integration of a heating and cooling system capable of achieving full thermal cycles in under ten minutes while ensuring long-term stability and structural integrity under repeated extreme temperature shifts. This system must operate reliably in demanding environments, integrating advanced materials and control mechanisms to sustain performance without degradation or failure over time. The primary focus is on speed and endurance, with precision engineering required to manage thermal stress, insulation, and energy efficiency simultaneously. The opportunity is a subcontract under the Department of Defense, with the performing location designated as Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, 45433. It falls under NAICS code 333992 for other commercial and service machinery manufacturing and was posted on April 27, 2026, with proposals due by May 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM. While no set-aside classification or point of contact is specified, the urgency and technical complexity suggest a high-priority defense application requiring proven expertise in rapid thermal management systems, likely supporting aerospace, propulsion, or testing infrastructure.
