For example, four (4) representatives are permitted at the General Overview Session, and four (4) are permitted to attend the facility tour; they are not required to be the same people. Individuals from consulting firms acting on behalf of a particular company will be included in the respective company’s total representative count. The limit will be strictly enforced.
• Attachment 1 HWAD Industry Day Company Registration Form Due 16 December 2024 has been updated to remove question #4.

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 operation (SDO) functions including but not limited to ammunition receipt, issue, surveillance, re-warehousing and demilitarization (DEMIL), as well as the operation, maintenance, and modernization 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, property administration, 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: Draft Performance Work Statements (PWS) for this effort are included with this Sources Sought announcement for information purposes only. Please note these are NOT the final versions. Final PWSs will be provided when the official Request for Proposal is released. 

Anticipated Requirements: A long-term facility use and production contract with a period of performance beginning 1 Jan 2027 is anticipated. The storage levels and DEMIL quantities will vary given funding requirements. During Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2024, the stored quantity has annually averaged 200K tons with 13K-14K tons total of receipt and issue per year. DEMIL planned workload for FY2025 is 8.4K short tons with FY2026-FY2030 planned workload at approximately 43K short tons total, averaging approximately 8K per year. 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).

Industry Days: The Government anticipates hosting multiple Industry Days for this effort, with the first occurring the week of 27 January 2025.
