The Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) Acid Farm Storage Tanks

The Department of the Army is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice (Solicitation No. W911S226RA004) for Architect‑Engineering (A‑E) design services to modernize the Acid Farm storage‑tank area at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP). The effort will provide a fully engineered, “Advanced (90‑day) Design” that supports the upgraded Nitric Acid Concentrator/Sulfuric Acid Concentrator (NAC/SAC), the modernized Nitrocellulose (MNC) production line, and the modernized Nitroglycerin Production Facility (NG‑3). The design must accommodate pyro acid, strong sulfuric acid (SSA), oleum, strong nitric acid (SNA), and weak nitric acid (WNA), and be sized for the plant’s target processing capacity of approximately 100 million lb of SNA (98.5 wt %) annually to meet a maximum production demand of 28 million lb of nitrocellulose per year. Key requirements include: (1) complete tank and supporting‑infrastructure design; (2) incorporation of all applicable environmental and safety controls for receipt, storage, and dispersal of the acids; (3) where technically and economically feasible, retrofitting and reuse of legacy structures, demolition of obsolete equipment, and a phased “modernize‑in‑place” approach for the highest‑need tank areas. Responses are due by 15:00 LST on 9 January 2026. Point of contact is Lyndsie Hall (lyndsie.j.hall.civ@army.mil; 315‑772‑6123).
