This is a presolicitation notice IAW FAR Subpart 5.2 The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Signature Technology Office is seeking to design, develop, and deliver a set of Expeditionary Inflatable Hangar systems (aka “X-Hangar”) with camouflage covers incorporating passive, multimodal capability for USMC and USAF aircraft. This work builds upon previous NRL efforts for obscuration and concealment of multiple types of vehicle platforms against ground and airborne sensors using camouflage netting. The next-generation camouflage vehicle mesh (CVM) covers require improved breathability and durability for increased wind and snow loads, while maintaining current multispectral obscuration performance. The inflatable lifting structures will support the improved CVM systems covering the aircraft platforms. Specific tasking required is as follows: Task Area 1 – Project Management Support Task Area 2 – System Engineering Task Area 3 – Research & Development Task Area 4 – Systems Manufacture Task Area 5 – Test & Evaluation The Statement of Work (SOW), “Camouflage Netting and Expeditionary Lifting Structures (“X-Hangar”), Operational Test Support, and Joint Technology Transition”, is included (access request is required). It is anticipated that an Offeror will need to be 1) determined acceptable in at all five task areas listed, 2) be able to meet all the specifications outlined in the SOW, and 3) have a current approved Facility Security Clearance (FCL) in order to be eligible for award. It is anticipated that a single award, Firm Fixed Price contract will be awarded with a 4-year period of performance (inclusive of one 12-month base period and three 12-month option periods) utilizing FAR Part 15 procedures. This will be a competitively awarded contract using best value continuum, trade off procedures. This requirement will be solicited as a total small business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 541715, with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,000 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is AJ15.
