VHF Chamber Absorber

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake, CA, is conducting market research to determine industry interest, availability, and capability to supply new anechoic material for the floor, ceiling, side walls, and rear wall of a Very High Frequency (VHF) Anechoic Chamber. The contractor shall provide the materials, labor, and support equipment for removal of the existing material and installation of the new material. The project will consist of pyramids, wedges, and blocks, to replace the existing material. We anticipate a requirement for 6-foot pyramids on the side walls and 12-foot pyramids on the back wall. As such, the contractor must have the capability to manufacture large foam specifically for VHF to the 18 GHz frequency range. The contractor shall manufacture using best practices and deliver to the VHF Chamber Building located at China Lake, CA. This acquisition is under NAICS Code 326150 with a size standard of 750.
