W9123625R4000 New Laundry Facility at HSAAP

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Norfolk is seeking a design-build contractor to construct a new Laundry Facility at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP) in Kingsport, Tennessee. The project will involve designing and constructing a specialized facility to support laundering requirements for worker garments and production area fabrics used in explosives production operations. The solicitation will use two-phase design-build procedures with an unrestricted full and open competition approach. Evaluation will occur in two phases, focusing first on management approach, specialized experience, and past performance, then moving to technical approach, small business participation, and pricing. The government will use a Best Value Continuum Trade-off source selection process, with non-price factors being approximately equal to price in importance.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this contract, making it open to all qualified contractors. The estimated construction value ranges between $10-25 million, with a projected project duration of 450 calendar days. The facility will require specialized equipment including proprietary door locks, mass notification systems, fire alarms, monitoring systems, and specific washer/dryer units capable of handling garments exposed to explosives. Key dates include a solicitation release on SAM.gov around January 31, 2025, and a tentative site visit scheduled for February 11, 2025. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed-price agreement, with the successful bidder responsible for comprehensive design and construction of the new laundry facility that meets the U.S. Army's specific operational requirements.
