The Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) Modernized Pre-Mix and Nitro Cellulose (NC) Dehydration NG3 Facilities

The Department of the Army, MICC-FT DRUM, has issued a sources sought notice under solicitation number W911S226RA005 to identify qualified sources for the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) NG3 Facility Construction project. This requirement is classified under NAICS 541330 Engineering Services and PSC C1EA ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING- CONSTRUCTION: AMMUNITION FACILITIES. The project follows a multi-phased construction approach to address the four core processes in Nitroglycerin (NG) manufacturing, specifically Nitration, Solventless Slurry/Paste, Multi-base Pre-mix, and Nitro Cellulose (NC) Dehydration.

The primary objective of this project is to prepare a 30% design for the NC Dehydration and Pre-Mix facilities at RFAAP using modern, safe, and automated technologies. Current NG production at the site relies on a 30-year-old nitrator and 50-year-old Slurry/Paste and Pre-Mix buildings, which serve as single-point failures causing production interruptions. RFAAP currently produces 3.5 million pounds of NG annually to support double and triple-base propellants. This design phase aims to replace aging infrastructure and mitigate operational risks.

Responses to this sources sought notice are due by January 30, 2026. The point of contact for this requirement is Lyndsie Hall. There are currently zero attachments associated with this notice, and the place of performance is centered on the Radford Army Ammunition Plant.
