Construction Of Ammunition Facilities

The Product Service Code (PSC) Y1EA covers Construction of Ammunition Facilities, encompassing a specialized subset of military infrastructure development focused on creating, renovating, and modifying facilities designed for manufacturing, storing, and maintaining ammunition and munitions. These facilities include earth-covered magazines, storage igloos, maintenance buildings, operational pads, firing ranges, and related infrastructure supporting military ammunition operations. The construction projects typically involve highly specialized design requirements, strict safety protocols, and compliance with Department of Defense unified facilities criteria.

Federal Contract Awards in this PSC category show significant diversity in project scale, ranging from small facility upgrades around $100,000 to large complex projects exceeding $164 million. Frequent awardees include specialized construction firms such as Sauer Construction, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, and various small business contractors. The primary funding agencies are the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and Department of Defense commands like Joint Munitions Command. While most awards are not set aside, some utilize small business, 8(a), and service-disabled veteran-owned small business designations. Performance locations span domestic military installations and international bases, including facilities in Germany, Japan, Poland, and across the United States.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on large-scale munitions storage and facility modernization projects, particularly in strategic locations. Key opportunities include a $100-250 million Munitions Storage Area construction project at Powidz Air Base in Poland, a Small Arms Storage Facility at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, and a Design-Build and Construction Services Multiple Award Task Order Contract to support industrial base modernization at Government Owned-Contractor Operated (GOCO) Ammunition Facilities. These opportunities emphasize complex, multi-year construction efforts with strict requirements for NATO member nation participation, environmental compliance, and operational readiness enhancement.
