A Pentagon exploratory call for potential contracts posted this week asked for “pre-fabricated transportable bunkers” that can be quickly sent to the Middle East. The notice, which was published Monday and had a Friday deadline, aimed “to determine if there exists an adequate number of interested and qualified contractors” that can provide the bunkers. Interested vendors were asked to submit three options for different estimated time frames: 3 days, 15 days and 30 days. All of the options had to be deliverable to King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba, Jordan. Each response was required to identify the level of protection provided by the bunkers, including the highest level of threat that the bunker is designed to withstand, such as a ballistic impact.
