About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Norfolk District is seeking construction contractors for a new river water intake facility and pump house at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP) in Kingsport, Tennessee. The project aims to replace the existing water extraction infrastructure with a facility that complies with Clean Water Act Rule 316(b), focusing on protecting aquatic wildlife by reducing fish impingement mortality rates. Contractors will be evaluated based on their experience with river construction, explosive safety requirements, design-bid-build government projects, and large pumping station infrastructure. The sources sought notice requires interested contractors to submit a six-page response detailing their capabilities, business classification, and answers to specific economic policy and contract incentive questions. Responses must be electronically submitted by 10:00 a.m. EDT on April 22, 2025, to the primary and secondary points of contact at USACE-Norfolk District.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category, but all businesses under NAICS code 237110 with a small business size standard of $45 million are encouraged to respond. The estimated contract value ranges between $25-100 million, with an anticipated contract period of 912 calendar days. The new intake facility will have a river water extraction capacity of 80-96 million gallons per day, serving critical process water and non-contact cooling water functions for the HSAAP, which is a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) explosives production facility. The solicitation is expected to be released in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, with the project focusing on constructing a new intake structure that meets stringent environmental protection standards. Potential contractors should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in complex infrastructure projects involving water supply and environmental compliance.

Supplemental Sources Sought Notice

Construction of New River Water Intake Facility and Pump House at Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP), Kingsport, TN.

The Army Corps of Engineers—Norfolk District is conducting Supplemental Market Research to identify potential sources for construction of the facility identified.

Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP) is a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) explosives production facility located in Kingsport, TN. All production at HSAAP depends on river water.

HSAAP draws river water from the Holston River for process use in the plant. River water provides two primary functions: (1) Feedstock to the Filtered Water Plant, and (2) Non-contact Cooling Water (NCCW) for various process applications. River water is currently extracted through the existing pump house and intake on the east side of the plant.

The new river water intake facility and pump house will comply with the Clean Water Act (CWA) Rule 316(b) which provides protection to aquatic wildlife by reducing fish impingement mortality rates. 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 125.94 identifies requirements for existing/new facilities to ensure compliance with Rule 316(b) such as (a) limiting the allowed velocity of the water flow through intake screens to 0.5 feet per second (fps), or (b) using a modified traveling screen that safely transports impinged organisms back to the source waterbody. Estimated intake capacity for river water is 80-96 million gallons per day (MGPD).
