This opportunity involves a risk assessment for a Lightning Protection System (LPS) to enhance personnel safety at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base aircraft parking ramps. - Government Buyer: - U.S. Air Force, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base - Scope of Work: - Conduct a site survey and collect structural and operational data for approximately 15 acres of aircraft parking ramps - Perform a detailed Lightning Risk Assessment in accordance with NFPA 780 standards - Evaluate current risks to maintenance personnel during lightning events - Develop tailored mitigation recommendations to enable safe, uninterrupted flightline operations (removing the current 5-mile lightning work stoppage requirement) - Deliver a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations - Products/Services Requested: - Lightning Risk Assessment and site survey services (no specific products or part numbers requested) - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Focus is on personnel protection, not equipment or facility protection - Assessment must address the feasibility of allowing maintenance personnel to remain at work during local lightning events - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the requirements.

Description

The primary purpose of this project is to perform a site survey, data collection and create a detailed Lightning Risk Assessment for a Lightning Protection System (LPS) for aircraft parking ramps on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. This assessment will determine if a system can be created to ensure a safe working environment for personnel during local lightning events, allowing for the uninterrupted performance of critical aircraft maintenance. A key objective is to eliminate the current requirement for personnel to take cover when lightning is within a five-mile radius. While an LPS currently exists for equipment and facilities, this new system's primary focus is the protection of personnel on the flight line.

The objective includes the following concepts:

Site Visit, Data Collection, & Detailed Lightning Risk Assessment that will allow the Government to assess if the LPS system can reduce or eliminate a potential lightning hazard for maintenance personnel.
