Execution of Industrial Base Modernization Projects at Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) Facilities

Execution of Industrial Base Modernization Projects at Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) Facilities The U.S. Army, Army Contracting Command (ACC) New Jersey on behalf of the Office of the Project Director Joint Services (PD JS), located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ is currently seeking interested sources for the execution of various modernization projects at multiple Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) Army Ammunition Plant (AAP) facilities throughout the United States. The objective of this initiative is to support the execution of modernization projects at various GOCO facilities throughout the U.S. The contractor shall have the ability to furnish all necessary services, personnel, labor, facilities, materials, supplies and equipment to meet the U.S. Government's modernization requirements. The contactor will have to execute each modernization project in coordination with the Operating Contractor at the corresponding GOCO facility. The modernization projects to be executed under this effort are designed to increase, explosives, propellants, metal parts, load assemble and pack (LAP) of small, medium and large caliber ammunition production/manufacturing readiness to meet current and future requirements, ensure safety and environmental compliance, reduce operating costs and footprint, improve quality and promote efficiency, and improve quality of work environment (QWE) within the GOCO ammunition facilities. The projects range from low dollar to high multi-million dollar efforts, and include projects such as infrastructure repairs as well as major production line replacements. This effort would provide the U.S. Army with the ability to execute the GOCO modernization projects by select firms with a core competency in specific areas of facility modernization. Modernization refers to the alteration or replacement of facilities solely to implement new or higher standards, to accommodate new functions, or to replace building components, such as framework, foundations, and /or infrastructure, that have outlived their efficient and effective life expectancy. The U.S. Army is seeking firms specializing in disciplines, such as environmental remediation, infrastructure repair, energy generation, and energy distribution. Respondents with the breadth of engineering expertise for all such modernization projects would greatly increase the probability of the successful vendor meeting project cost, schedule and performance requirements. The U.S. Government's intent is to find innovative solutions to future, complex modernization problems. The modernization projects are expected to be executed at a number of U.S. Army facilities to include the following AAP's. Primary areas of ammunition expertise at each facility are listed. - Radford AAP (gun propellants and nitrocellulose), Radford, VA - Iowa AAP (load, assemble and pack of ammunition (L/A/P)), Burlington, IA - Milan AAP (L/A/P), Milan, TN - Holston AAP (explosives), Kingsport, TN - Lake City AAP (small caliber ammunition), Independence, MO - Scranton AAP (large caliber metal parts), Scranton, PA Potential Performance Requirements for this effort include the following topic areas: - General Engineering Support - Engineering Design - Environmental Support - Equipment upgrade/modification - Facility upgrade and Transition to the Operating Contractor - Debris removal/disposition - Training Prospective contractor would be responsible for compliance with all Federal, State, and Local laws, as well as Army regulations and policies.
