About this file
This is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the maintenance of active facilities at Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) covering the Main Plant in Montgomery/Pulaski County and the New River Unit in Dublin, effective April 2026. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining all Government Furnished Property across the facility, including land, buildings, structures, rail, infrastructure, vehicles, and equipment. The scope requires the Contractor to provide all labor, materials, and subcontracts necessary for maintenance operations, with costs for repairs resulting from Contractor negligence or lack of preventative maintenance borne solely by the Contractor. The Government's General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) serves as the authoritative source for identifying active facilities eligible for maintenance.
The maintenance program requires the Contractor to develop a comprehensive annual Maintenance Plan, implement a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) with Government read-only access, and establish preventive maintenance schedules ensuring all active property receives at least annual maintenance unless usage-based schedules are Government-approved. Key deliverables include monthly KPI reports tracking backlog, utility leaks, mean time to repair, schedule compliance, and planned maintenance percentages. The Contractor must execute minimum annual Major Maintenance projects of $5,000,000 (Contract Years 1-5) and $6,000,000 (Year 6 and beyond) for projects exceeding $150,000. Maintenance requirements encompass real property (buildings, structures, roofing, plumbing, doors, gates, elevators, fire/life safety systems), utility systems (water, wastewater, fuel, electrical, HVAC, generators), grounds maintenance, transportation infrastructure (railroads, bridges, roads), personal property, and equipment. Additional requirements include quarterly Life Cycle Cost Analysis reports, semi-annual Maintenance of Inactive Facilities status reports, and monthly rail utilization reports. All work must comply with Army Regulations, OSHA standards, Unified Facilities Criteria, and applicable industry standards including NFPA, AWWA, and ASME.
