**Buyer:** AETC PKP Procurement Branch
**Posted:** October 17, 2026
**Respond By:** November 16, 2026
**Identifier:** FA9101269TS2
**NAICS:** 236220, 237990, 332420, 332312

The Department of the Air Force is seeking whitepapers for an integrated modernization of Test Site 2 at the Aerospace Vehicle Survivability Facility.
- **Government buyer:** Department of the Air Force; Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC), within the Air Force Test Center (AFTC); contracting office AFTC/PZIA (Arnold). The project supports the 704th Test Group and the Aerospace Vehicle Survivability Facility (AVSF) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
- **Purpose:** Modernize Test Site 2 (TS2) for safe, efficient live-fire testing of current and future aerospace systems against a broader range of advanced kinetic threats.
- **Requested products and systems:**
  - One steel test superstructure, approximately 24 ft × 50 ft × 50 ft, with ground-level testing space, roof provisions for removable ballistic protection, and an elevated platform.
  - One elevated platform, approximately 20 ft above the first level, rated for a 100,000-lb blanket load; includes stairs and removable grating.
  - One 25-ton bridge crane and one 5-ton monorail. Crane equipment must meet applicable CMAA requirements and be certified to applicable ASME and OSHA standards.
  - One steel fuel catch pan capable of containing up to 1,000 gallons per test, one 6,000-gallon fuel recovery tank, and one portable pump transferring fuel at approximately 180 GPM or more. The fuel system must accommodate Jet-A, JP-8, and other standard military aviation fuels and meet environmental requirements.
  - One concrete curb, approximately 40 ft long and 4 ft high, along the north edge of the test area.
- **Services:** Integrated engineering, design, fabrication, delivery, construction, installation, utility and safety integration, functional verification, design reviews, and final operating, maintenance, safety, and as-built documentation. An unfunded option covers onsite engineering support for phasing and transition of adjacent activities.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No specific OEMs, manufacturers, or vendors are named, and no part numbers are provided.
- **Notable requirements:** The contractor must provide an integrated, operational test facility, including geotechnical and utility surveys, site preparation and foundations, crane certification, fuel-system integration, and an approach that limits disruption to adjacent AVSF test sites.
- **Value:** No government estimate is provided; a rough planning-level estimate is $5 million–$15 million based on the described construction and equipment scope.
