Ballistic Glazing Film

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) intends to issue a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) single source award to ASTIC Signals Defenses LLC for the purchase of 22 pieces, with an option to purchase an additional 14 pieces, of Signals Defense SD1010 film IR/RF mitigating film. The Signals Defense SD1010 is an RF/IR attenuating film used by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for enhanced security and protective measures. Incorporation of the specific film into the test series is critical for achieving a full test of the complete window systems (ballistic or blast performance). If an alternate RF/IR attenuating film is used in the testing series, the results of the testing (blast of ballistic performance) may be deemed invalid as an alternate IR/IF mitigating film may not be representative of what is currently fielded in DHS maintained structes. Signals Defnese SD1010 is already fielded in DHS facilities and is

only produced by ASTIC Signals Defense. The award will be issued in accordance with FAR 13.106(b)(1)(i). The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code is 326112, Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet (including Laminated) Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,000 employees.
