30 June 2025 Update

The Government requests industry feedback regarding the questions below.  It is imperative to get feedback from Industry to ensure the proposed Acquisition Strategy is the right choice.  The self-scoring matrix is continuously changing at this time based on the feedback received, to ensure we are capturing the necessary information while not inaccurately reducing the interest in this requirement.  The Government’s intention is not to reduce competition using a phased approach.  The goal is to ensure all those that are capable of meeting the Government’s requirements, make it to phase two.   The Government understands Industry has expressed concern that some of the standards for technical experiences included in the Phase I Self-Scoring Matrix are unreasonably high.

1. The Government requests industry submit specific examples of which standards are too high, so these standards can be re-evaluated.
2. How would you like to be incentivized to use innovative solutions? Please include examples of any solicitations/contracts that offered good incentives for innovation.
3. How would you like the Government to evaluate innovation in phase two? Please include examples of any solicitations that offered good incentives for innovation.
4. The Government is currently considering use of award term options for years 11-20 as an incentive for innovative solutions. If award terms are used, the Government intends to have Offerors submit their proposed innovations and standard for triggering award of the additional option years with submission of their phase II proposals. The Government requests feedback on industry interest in using award terms to incentivize innovation.

19 May 2025 Update

The Government is seeking feedback regarding a two-phase approach to proposal evaluation for the Hawthorne Army Depot requirement. The objective of the phase one approach is to reduce contractor proposal costs and improve Government efficiency in evaluations. The Government proposes the use of the attached HWAD Draft Phase One Self-Scoring Matrix to identify Offerors who would be eligible to move to the second phase of the competition. The first phase would evaluate Maintenance, Demil, SDO, Past Performance, and Small Business as shown in the HWAD Draft Phase One Self-Scoring Matrix. Offerors would be required to submit work samples with a no more than two-page project reference for each work sample to support their self-rated scores. The Government will validate the score of each Offeror whose total score is above 63,000 points out of 84,000 total points. Those Offerors whose scores are validated above 63,000 points would move on to the second phase of the evaluation. The second phase would involve a best value trade-off approach. The factors evaluated during the second phase would include a detailed maintenance plan for Dock 3, 117-6 North Tower, and Building 3, a detailed Demil plan for the MIDAS families included in the MGQ, and a marketing plan for Innovation/Business Development/ARM, and price. The Government is seeking feedback regarding this two-phase approach, the HWAD Draft Phase One Self-Scoring Matrix (including all experience categories listed, requirements for each point value, weight factors, and total points), and suggestions regarding how a program management self-scoring matrix could be added. The Government requests all feedback be submitted to John Fotos at john.g.fotos.civ@army.mil, Ashley Korves at ashley.m.korves.civ@army.mil, and Caitlyn Smith at caitlyn.l.smith3.civ@army.mil no later than 0900 Central 27 May 2025.

• Attachment 1 HWAD Industry Day Company Registration Form Due 16 December 2024 has been updated to remove question #4.
• Attachment 6 HWAD Sources Sought Questions and Answers has been added.

Description: The U.S. Army Contracting Command, Rock Island, on behalf of Headquarters, Joint Munitions Command, located at Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, IL, is currently seeking interested sources for the execution of standard depot operation (SDO) functions including but not limited to ammunition receipt, issue, surveillance, re-warehousing and demilitarization (DEMIL), as well as the operation, maintenance, and modernization of Hawthorne Army Depot (HWAD) located in Hawthorne, NV.

HWAD is a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) facility that serves as an archival storage and DEMIL location for a wide array of conventional and non-standard ammunition. In addition to the storage and DEMIL of ammunition, the operating contractor will be required to maintain and modernize equipment and facilities, and provide numerous base support services (e.g., grounds maintenance, property administration, fire protection, safety and security, etc.).

HWAD is an eligible facility under the Armament Retooling and Manufacturing Support (ARMS) program. As such, the operating contractor will be required to market idle and underutilized facilities at HWAD for commercial use by private sector firms. The operating contractor must comply with all Federal, State, and Local laws and Army regulations and policies, as well as maintain critical skills and core capabilities related to storage and DEMIL functions.

Specifications: Draft Performance Work Statements (PWS) for this effort are included with this Sources Sought announcement for information purposes only. Please note these are NOT the final versions. Final PWSs will be provided when the official Request for Proposal is released. 

Anticipated Requirements: A long-term facility use and production contract with a period of performance beginning 1 Jan 2027 is anticipated. The storage levels and DEMIL quantities will vary given funding requirements. During Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2024, the stored quantity has annually averaged 200K tons with 13K-14K tons total of receipt and issue per year. DEMIL planned workload for FY2025 is 8.4K short tons with FY2026-FY2030 planned workload at approximately 43K short tons total, averaging approximately 8K per year. HWAD has a storage capacity of 7.6M sq. feet (excess storage capacity beyond the Government's orders may be utilized for commercial business in exchange for contractor investment in the facility).

Industry Days: The Government anticipates hosting multiple Industry Days for this effort, with the first occurring the week of 27 January 2025. 

Interested participants must register in advance by completing the HWAD Industry Day Company Registration Form, HWAD Industry Day Individual Registration Form, and HWAD Base Access NCIC III Form.
