Request for Information - Energetics Center of Excellence
Solicitation # W519TC-26-R-0019
Army Contracting Command-Rock Island, acting for the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Agile Sustainment and Ammunition and Project Lead Joint Services, is conducting market research to establish an Energetics Center of Excellence at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, Kentucky. The initiative seeks to address critical vulnerabilities in the Department of War energetics ecosystem, including aging infrastructure, fragile supply chains, and limited domestic capacity for explosives like RDX and HMX. The government is interested in transformative, commercially sustainable solutions delivered through a Public-Private Partnership that can scale rapidly during surge requirements without relying on recurring government funding for steady-state operations. Desired capabilities include onshoring production of precursors and components, implementing flexible and automated manufacturing, and accelerating the transition of next-generation formulations from lab to full-rate production. All physical infrastructure must be located at the Blue Grass Army Depot and must align with existing Army networks. The government is targeting a rapid implementation schedule of 48 months or less for full project transition and commissioning. While this is currently a Request for Information for market research, the government has indicated a potential intent to award a non-competitive, sole-source Undefinitized Contract Action with a Firm-Fixed-Price ceiling. Responses are due by November 2, 2026, and must include a technical approach, a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate, and a sustainable business model.
