Shade Sail Design, Fabrication, and Installation

The contract outlines a turnkey project for the design, fabrication, and tensioned installation of four overhead shade sails, each required to cover at least 85 percent of their designated outdoor areas. The shade sails must be constructed from UV-resistant fabric to ensure long-term durability and performance under direct sunlight, and all installations must meet strict aesthetic and safety standards to align with the facility’s visual guidelines and structural integrity requirements. The work includes complete project execution from initial engineering through final tensioning, with no aspects of the scope delegated to third parties unless explicitly permitted under the terms of the subcontract. This is a Small Business Set Aside contract under NAICS code 238990, reserved exclusively for small businesses, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-Apg Natick office. The place of performance is in Natick, Massachusetts, with a zip code of 01760, and all deliverables must be completed by the response deadline of August 19, 2026. The contract type is a subcontract, meaning the awardee will be working as a subcontractor under a larger prime agreement, with full responsibility for meeting performance, quality, and timeline obligations without reliance on external dependencies. Success will be measured by compliance with technical specifications, adherence to schedule, and certification of completed work to the agency’s satisfaction.
