The Department of the Army is seeking proposals for the development of mineral processing facilities at Red River Army Depot, Tobyhanna Army Depot, and/or Tooele Army Depot. The selected offeror will be responsible for designing, financing, permitting, developing, constructing, installing, owning, maintaining, operating, securing, and decommissioning the facility. The lease term will be 50 years, with an option to renew. The offeror will be required to provide consideration in the form of in-kind, cash, or a combination thereof, not less than the fair market rental value of the lease interest.

• The offeror will be required to fund the completion of an Environmental Condition of Property Report and a NEPA analysis.
• The offeror will be required to provide a plan for providing utilities and infrastructure needs to the property.
