Description: The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Rock Island, on behalf of Headquarters, Joint Munitions Command, located at Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, IL, is currently seeking interested sources for the execution of standard depot operations (SDO) functions including but not limited to ammunition receipt, issue, surveillance, rewarehousing and demilitarization (DEMIL), as well as the operation and maintenance of Hawthorne Army Depot (HWAD) located in Hawthorne, NV. HWAD is a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility that serves as an archival storage and DEMIL location for a wide array of conventional and non-standard ammunition. In addition to the storage and DEMIL of ammunition, the operating contractor will be required to maintain and modernize equipment and facilities, and provide numerous base support services (e.g., grounds maintenance, fire protection, safety and security, etc.). HWAD is an eligible facility under the Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support (ARMS) program. As such, the operating contractor will be required to market idle and underutilized facilities at HWAD for commercial use by private sector firms. The operating contractor must comply with all Federal, State, and Local laws and Army regulations and policies, as well as maintain critical skills and core capabilities related to storage and DEMIL functions.
 

Specifications: Performance Work Statements (PWS) for this effort are not currently available and will not be provided prior to the closing date of the posting. PWSs will be provided at a later date upon issuance of any draft solicitation.


Planned Acquisition: The Government contemplates that as a result of this full and open best value competition, a long term facility use and production contract will be awarded with a period of performance beginning 1 Jan 2021.

DEMIL planned workload for FY18 is 32K short tons with FY19-FY22 planned at approximately 64K short tons total. HWAD has a storage capacity of 7.6M sq. feet (excess storage capacity beyond the Government's orders may be utilized for commercial business in exchange for contractor investment in the facility). The Government anticipates hosting an Industry day for this effort in the spring/summer 2018 timeframe.
