115 FW Aircraft Arresting System Barrier Arms

The 115th Fighter Wing is seeking sources for the procurement of BAK-14 High-speed Rollover (HSRO) Unit Part Number D02344-101 Support Box Assembly. This acquisition is for the procurement of improved BAK-14 system barrier arms, approved by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, which are required for installation at Truax Field, Madison, WI 53704. These components are critical for ensuring the safety of flight operations for hook-equipped aircraft during emergency landings or aborted takeoffs. Key points to consider: • The BAK-14 is a retractable hook cable system designed to be used in conjunction with energy absorbers like the BAK-12 system. • The system allows the arresting cable to be lowered below the runway surface, making it ideal for joint-use airfields that accommodate both military and civilian aircraft. • Interested firms must provide a notice stating their positive intent to submit a quote as a prime contractor, along with a completed and signed Source Sought Information Request Form and documentation identifying their organization as an authorized distributor for CURTISS-WRIGHT FLOW CONTROL SERVICE LLC, dba ENGINEERED ARRESTING SYSTEMS – ESCO.
