What this opportunity is
The Department of Defense is seeking a brand-name MVB3X Modular Vehicle Barrier System for use at Mountain Home AFB, ID, to enhance security and traffic control. This opportunity is open to all businesses, as there is no set-aside. The requirement includes two configurations: a 20-unit package and a 72-unit package, both of which must meet specific crash rating standards. Interested vendors should note that this is a Sources Sought notice, indicating the government is gathering information rather than soliciting bids at this time.

Application of Vehicle Barriers. Any Barrier NOT used at a DoD Entry Control Facility/Access
Control Point/Installation perimeter project, does not have to be on the approved DoD Anti-Ram
Vehicle Barrier list, but must be rated to the applicable crash rating and meet AASHTO roadside
safety requirements. The barriers on the DoD Anti-Ram Vehicle Barrier list have been tested and
certified to specific crash ratings and can be used as a guide for all anti-vehicle barriers.
