Thermobaric Blast Chamber Design and Fabrication

The contract seeks the design and fabrication of a dual-chamber thermobaric blast system capable of producing precisely controlled blast waveforms in both mid-field and far-field ranges, specifically targeting pressures of 35 to 55 pounds per square inch mid-field and 5 to 35 pounds per square inch far-field. The system must be engineered to generate repeatable, measurable, and safe explosive waveforms for use in defensive research and medical response testing, with a focus on simulating real-world blast conditions for injury analysis and protective equipment evaluation. The work must adhere to strict technical specifications for waveform fidelity, chamber integrity, and operational safety under high-pressure environments. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 332999, with performance located in San Antonio, Texas, and is managed by the Army Medical Resources Acquisition Activity under the Department of Defense. The solicitation was posted May 5, 2026, and responses are due by June 5, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. While no set-aside provisions are indicated, participation is open to qualified contractors capable of delivering advanced explosive simulation technology. The system must be fully documented, tested, and delivered with all supporting data, ensuring compliance with DoD safety and performance standards for research applications.
