Description
The US Air Force is conducting market research to identify potential sources to meet a modification capability for modified Advanced Technology Anti-Gravity Suit (ATAGS) assemblies and Legacy G-Suit assemblies. The proposed solution is to have an approved alternative material to produce the modified ATAGS, and Elevate Textiles' W5955 fabric is being tested as this alternative material. The contractor will be responsible for performing all requested material testing on the W5955 fabric, including procuring the necessary quantity of fabric, providing a Test Report, and sending all test results to the government. The contractor must also provide a detailed quality plan and ensure sustainability and security of sensitive or proprietary textile samples.
Some key points to consider include:
• The government is looking for businesses that can provide the required services under the NAICS Code 541380.
• The proposed acquisition strategy is a one-time buy in fiscal year 2026.
• The contractor must have experience with textile testing, specifically for military/Department of Defense (DoD) requirements.
• The contractor must have the capability to handle calibration and maintenance of test equipment and provide a description of their quality program.
• The contractor must ensure sustainability and security of sensitive or proprietary textile samples.
