About this file
This document is a facility capabilities and greenspace overview presentation for Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD), a 14,594-acre U.S. Army installation located in Kentucky. The presentation, dated March 25, 2026, highlights BGAD's infrastructure, operational capabilities, and available properties for potential federal contracting opportunities.
BGAD operates as a premier munitions storage, distribution, and maintenance facility with $117 million in available infrastructure supporting production operations, 800,000 square feet of highly secure munitions storage, 119,000 square feet of turnkey maintenance/production facilities, and 749 acres of developable greenspace with utility access. The depot manages 111,040 total short tons of munitions with 58.18% occupancy as of January 20, 2026, including Army conventional munitions (32.8%), Joint Services Special Operations Forces stocks (32.7%), Air Force/Navy/other service munitions (27.33%), and demil account materials (7.0%). Core competencies include storing, issuing, receiving, inspecting, maintaining, and demilitarizing conventional munitions and chemical defense equipment. BGAD operates with 549 Department of Army civilians and 2 soldiers, maintains a $129.1 million budget, and holds ISO 9001:2015 and OHSAS 18001 certifications. The facility features unparalleled security with autonomous AI surveillance, 24/7 guard coverage, 902 earth-covered magazines, and 12 above-ground magazines. Logistical capabilities include a state-of-the-art Consolidated Shipping Center processing over 300 containers daily, CSX rail access, and immediate access to Interstate 64 and 75 corridors, positioning BGAD within 130-726 miles of major military installations. The presentation identifies emerging capabilities including the SkyFoundry Innovation Hub for unmanned aircraft system testing, an Energetics Center of Excellence Production Campus spanning approximately 400 acres with $100 million in specialized infrastructure, and a Flexible Automated Modernized Production Line utilizing robotic integration and modular assembly. Additionally, the document catalogs multiple facilities available for repurpose, including warehouses ranging from 5,000 to 91,087 square feet, production facilities with classified explosive storage capabilities, and the BGCAPP Energetics Facility with advanced electrical, water, sewer, firepower, and rail infrastructure. Available greenspace totals 749 acres across multiple areas including BGCAPP Gate & Laydown Yard (28 acres), Northeast Corner (61.37 acres), Administrative Area (213.88 acres), and Back 40 (358.35 acres), with varying utility availability and access control standards.
