This solicitation includes no set-aside designations and does not identify any current incumbents or contractors. The estimated construction magnitude ranges between $100 million and $250 million, with the contract structured as a firm-fixed price award under full and open competition. The scope of work encompasses development of a 30% design package that leverages existing infrastructure and includes system engineering documentation for capabilities such as solvent and polymer storage, polymer grinding and dissolution, and lacquer loading, supporting production of 15 million pounds of RDX, 2.5 million pounds of HMX, and 13 million pounds of IMX. The period of performance shall not exceed 300 calendar days from contract award. The project will be performed at 4509 West Stone Drive, Kingsport, Tennessee 37660.
