The Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI), on behalf of the Project Lead Joint Services (PL JS), is seeking capable sources for the design, construction, commissioning, and operational turnover of a modernized industrial wastewater treatment facility (referred to as the Bioplant) capable of treating the full volume and variety of Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) industrial wastewater influent while meeting or exceeding the environmental permit requirements for discharge into the New River. The United States Government (Government) intends to utilize the information submitted in response to this Sources Sought Notice (SSN) to issue a follow-on Request for Solution (RFS) that will include the full requirement for the modernized Bioplant. The Government is contemplating using a Stand-Alone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. 4022 to satisfy this requirement. However, if the acquisition approach changes, the information obtained from this SSN will be used in the planning and award of the project. The Government's intent is to award the proposed contract(s) based on the capabilities demonstrated in response to the follow-on RFP, therefore, all interested sources shall ensure that they have fully identified, in writing, their capabilities to perform the requirements included in the SSN and subsequent updates. The Government encourages responses from traditional and non-traditional defense contractors, and organizations with innovative solutions, even if they have not previously performed work for the Department of War. RESPONSE REQUIREMENTS: RFAAP is a critical national security asset, serving as the last remaining continental (CONUS) Government-owned facility capable of manufacturing nitrocellulose (NC), nitroglycerin (NG), single-base, multi-base, and solventless propellants. The industrial wastewater generated by these manufacturing processes contains complex chemical components—including solvents and propellant residues (solid, dissolved, or suspended energetic materials)—which must be rigorously treated prior to discharge into the New River. To be considered a capable source for this effort, all interested sources shall submit the requested information which will assist the Government in developing its acquisition strategy: Provide a description of a prototype or proven process(es) to treat complex, variable waste streams from the production of propellants (high BOD/COD, energetic residues, solvents) in compliance with permits. Ability to conduct a continuous 12-month prototype/pilot test using RFAAP wastewater with up to two proposed technologies (e.g. Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs), Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), etc.) to capture seasonal variations in microbial activity, right-size the plant, and test responses to confounding constituents, and assure that discharge is permit compliant. Provide relevant project experience, within the last ten (10) years, demonstrating the ability to design, construct, and commission a wa…
