Request for Information - Energetics Center of Excellence
Solicitation # W519TC-26-R-0019
Army Contracting Command-Rock Island is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to establish an Energetics Center of Excellence at Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond, Kentucky. The initiative aims to strengthen the Department of War energetics ecosystem and the Defense Industrial Base by addressing constraints such as aging infrastructure, fragile supply chains, and limited domestic capacity. The government is seeking industry input on transformative, scalable, and commercially sustainable solutions to onshore production, reduce foreign dependencies, and modernize manufacturing processes for current explosives like RDX and HMX, as well as next-generation formulations. The government is interested in a Public-Private Partnership model where facilities are commercially viable and do not rely on recurring government funding for steady-state operations. Proposed solutions must be located at Blue Grass Army Depot and achieve full transition and commissioning within 48 months. While this is currently a request for information, the government has indicated a potential intent to award a non-competitive, sole-source Undefinitized Contract Action with a Firm-Fixed-Price ceiling. Responses must include a technical approach, a rough order of magnitude cost estimate, and a sustainable business model, with a submission deadline of November 2, 2026.
