Iowa Army Ammunition Plant Sources Sought

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island is seeking feedback from industry on potential alternate operating models for the Facility Management, Maintenance and Oversight of the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAAP). The IAAAP is a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility that develops and produces munition end-items for the Department of War (DoW) and commercial entities with contracts with the DoW. The proposed models include an Industrial Park Model, a Long-Term Lease Model, and other Public/Private Partnerships. The USG is requesting feedback on the viability of these models and on the division of responsibilities for leasing the production lines between the facility management company and the USG. • The IAAAP contains numerous different production lines for the Load, Assemble and Pack of conventional ammunition. • The facility management contractor would be responsible for marketing the facilities and must adhere to all applicable laws and Army regulations. • The USG is interested in industry presenting novel and unique models for the operation, maintenance, and modernization of the IAAAP. • The USG's long-term objective is to enable the facility to serve the USG's need for long-term, cost-effective, and efficient sustainment of production capabilities.
