The Department of State’s Diplomatic Security seeks proposals for large-scale blast testing and fragmentation tracking of anti-ram barriers subjected to a simulated vehicle-borne IED attack. The project is split into two phases: Phase 1 characterizes debris from baseline Department anti-ram systems, while Phase 2 evaluates modified systems fitted with opaque claddings. Performance requires a test range with a minimum 2,000 lbs TNT NEW limit and the ability to track debris at distances up to 1,500 feet. The entire project must be completed within 24 months, with condensed schedules preferred, and each test requires a quick-look report within 14 days and a full report within 45 days. The selected performer will propose its own instrumentation and post-processing methodology while providing monthly status updates.

This opportunity seeks a performer to conduct large-scale blast testing and fragmentation tracking of anti-ram barriers under a simulated 2,000-lb TNT VBIED attack, split into Phase 1 (baseline barrier debris characterization) and Phase 2 (modified barrier debris characterization). The performer must propose test site setup, instrumentation plans, and methodologies to capture debris dimensions, weight, velocity, height, and dispersion at specified distances, with a minimum range limit of 2,000 lbs TNT NEW and capacity for tracking debris up to 1,500 ft. The project must be completed within 24 months, with compressed schedules preferred, and deliverable reports include a quick-look report within 14 days of each test and full written reports within 45 days. Final reports and testing videos are to be delivered on a hard drive to an Arlington, VA address. No specific performance location is defined, and the government will balance cost with schedule, allowing combined tests and alternative approaches.
