HESCO DEFENSE BARRIERS Sources sought

The United States Air Force is conducting market research to assess industry capability to supply HESCO MIL‑10 multi‑cellular, geotextile‑lined welded‑mesh defense barriers. The system is flat‑packed, can be mechanically opened and filled on‑site with locally sourced fill (earth, sand, gravel, crushed rock) using standard equipment such as front‑end loaders or excavators. Key specifications include a 2.21 m (7 ft 3 in) height, 1.52 m (5 ft) width, 30.5 m (100 ft) length per unit, heavy‑duty steel wire mesh (4–4.88 mm thickness) with Galfan or hot‑dip galvanised corrosion protection, and a UV‑stabilised polypropylene geotextile liner (≥250 g/m²). Units are shipped flat‑packed on pallets in either military tan/beige or olive drab green. The Air Force is seeking information on potential suppliers, production capacity, pricing, and delivery capabilities; no contract award will result from this notice. • Multi‑cellular, accordion‑style barrier system (MIL‑10) • Flat‑pack shipping; rapid mechanical deployment • Fill with earth, sand, gravel, or crushed rock using standard equipment • Steel mesh 4‑4.88 mm, Galfan or hot‑dip galvanized coating • Heavy‑duty polypropylene geotextile liner (≥250 g/m²) • Dimensions per unit: 2.21 m H × 1.52 m W × 30.5 m L (≈100 ft) • Color options: Military tan/beige or olive drab green • NAICS listed as 332999 (All Other Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing)
