The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify capable sources for the procurement of high-performance, medium-power (MP) Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) in four distinct physical configurations, along with professional installation services (including surface preparation and precision mounting) and certified, environmentally compliant disposal services for decommissioned legacy RAM at the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF), Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), California. This comprehensive solution will upgrade electromagnetic energy absorption capabilities to accommodate higher-power Systems Under Test (SUT) without experiencing thermal or electromagnetic performance degradation. The resulting contract will be a 5-Year IDIQ. 2. Requirement. The 772d Test Squadron (TS) at Edwards AFB, CA, has an operational requirement to replace and test medium-power Radar Absorbing Material (RAM) within the Benefield Anechoic Facility (BAF). The overall objective of the RAM is to eliminate multi-path RF reflections back to the System Under Test (SUT). To accommodate advanced, high-power systems, the replacement RAM must offer increased power handling performance without suffering frequency-response degradation. To achieve this, the RAM must consist of open-cell foam with proportionally consistent pore sizes to facilitate the dissipation of heat generated by intense RF energy. Please see attachment for further details. 3. Information requested. The Government requests interested offerors furnish the following information if they can FULLY support this requirement: a.
