Design and Construction of a Modernized Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (Bioplant) at Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP)

Solicitation # W519TC-26-R-BIOR

The Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) is a critical national security facility and the last remaining CONUS government-owned site capable of producing a full spectrum of military propellants, including nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, single-base, multi-base, and solventless formulations. The facility’s legacy wastewater treatment plant, constructed in the 1980s, is now beyond its operational lifespan and functions as a single point of failure, severely compromising mission continuity. Located within the 100-year floodplain, it suffered a forced shutdown during Hurricane Helene in 2024, underscoring its vulnerability. The aging system has also failed to meet regulatory limits under the Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (VPDES) permit, recording 14 violations in 16 months primarily due to inadequate treatment of biochemical oxygen demand and other propellant residuals. To mitigate these risks and ensure compliance, the U.S. Army is accelerating funding to replace the facility by FY26 through an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. § 2808a. This initiative seeks to design and construct a modernized, resilient industrial wastewater treatment facility capable of handling 1.5 million gallons per day with a 2.5 MGD surge capacity, incorporating advanced technologies to treat complex chemical effluents while meeting Virginia Department of Environmental Quality standards. The procurement is structured as a two-phase effort, beginning with a competitively awarded OTA for detailed design and pilot testing, with the potential for a follow-on noncompetitive contract to execute site preparation, construction, commissioning, and transition under the same statutory authority if successful outcomes are achieved. Proposals must be submitted in four clearly defined volumes—Technical, Schedule, Price, and Miscellaneous—with strict page limits and formatting requirements, and must be uploaded exclusively via DoD SAFE before the August 20, 2026 deadline. Evaluation is based on three weighted factors: first, specialized bioplant experience including technological feasibility and integration of systems engineering principles; second, schedule realism and risk assessment demonstrated through an Integrated Master Schedule with critical path analysis; and third, price reasonableness and proposed cost share. The contract requires adherence to multiple standards including ASTM, UFC, UFGS, OSHA, and MIL-STDs, with deliverables spanning system requirements, pilot test reports, design packages, commissioning plans, as-built documentation, and O&M manuals.
