Description
The U.S. Air Force 48th Rescue Squadron is issuing a sole‑source notice to procure 110 Adaptive Rope Kits (ARTAC system) from Arc Edge Solutions LLC. The kits are specialized, proprietary rescue ropes designed for combat search and rescue operations, featuring a high‑density polyester sheath, hydrophobic treatment, and core‑to‑sheath stabilization to prevent rope failure in extreme conditions.
