Construction Services to support Industrial Base Modernization at Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) Ammunition Facilities

This is a new Sources Sought announcement that replaces W519TC-24-R-MATOC. All future correspondence from ACC-RI regarding the GOCO MATOC requirement will utilize solicitation number W519TC-25-R-0026. Any responses, RFIs, or other correspondence will need to reference the new solicitation number associated with this announcement.

Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI), on behalf of the Office of the Project Director Joint Services (PD JS) and the Joint Munitions Command (JMC), is seeking interested sources with the capabilities to execute various facility projects at Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) Ammunition facilities within the United States.

The Government proposes to award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC), for Construction services with a minimum five (5) year ordering period. The planned contract may result in not fewer than three (3) qualifying awardees who would then submit competitive proposals for specific projects against task orders issued under the MATOC.

The Government is seeking interested sources with the core competencies required to provide all services, materials, equipment, supplies, facilities, personnel and labor necessary to execute design-build and construction services at GOCO Ammunition facilities. The objective of this effort is modernization of GOCO facilities and infrastructure to enable more efficient and effective manufacturing of ammunition. Depending on the work to be accomplished, Contractors will be required to meet State and Federal environmental requirements, as well as applicable building codes and chemical/explosives safety regulations.

The projects will vary in size, cost, and complexity. The government reserves the right to determine contract type for each task order.

This effort will support the objectives of the Army’s GOCO Army Ammunition Plant (AAP) Modernization Plan to:

• Increase manufacturing safety and readiness to meet current and future requirements.


• Isolate energetic mass from people.


• Ensure graceful degradation and resilient operations.


• Improve flexibility, maintainability, and sustainability.


• Reduce cost of operations.

Projects may take place at the following GOCO facilities:

• Radford AAP (propellants), Radford, VA


• Iowa AAP (Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP)), Burlington, IA


• Holston AAP (explosives), Kingsport, TN


• Scranton AAP (large caliber metal parts), Scranton, PA
