The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Middle East District is conducting market research to identify potential sources for alternatives to HESCO barriers. This is a Request for Information only and is not a binding solicitation. The requirement is for a "brand name or equal" expeditionary barrier system that meets specific military specifications, is pre-assembled for rapid deployment, and is compatible with existing HESCO infrastructure. Responses are due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on 26 March 2026. The barrier must be able to contain compacted sand in specific dimensions and cannot be made from materials like concrete, heavy metal, or wood.
