Quick Summary

The Army Contracting Command - Rock Island, in collaboration with Project Lead Joint Services and Joint Munitions Command, is hosting Industry Day #7 for the planned competition concerning the production of propellants and operation of the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) in Radford, VA. This event offers exclusive, individualized facility tours of RFAAP, starting the week of April 27, 2026. Companies must register by April 22, 2026, 12:00 PM CT.

Event Scope & Eligibility

This Industry Day provides an opportunity for companies to conduct in-depth analysis through tours of up to six operational areas over three chosen days within an assigned week. The competition for the future contract will be limited to companies within the U.S., its outlying areas, and Canada. Tours will involve access to Controlled Technical Information. U.S. companies intending to subcontract to foreign entities and include their representatives must provide specific documentation, including an approved export license (DSP-5) and a Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA).

Registration & Logistics

Interested participants must complete and submit both the Company Registration Form and Individual Registration Form electronically to Anna Whitcomb (anna.e.whitcomb2.civ@army.mil), Amanda Carlson (amanda.l.carlson25.civ@army.mil), and Derek Rooks (derek.s.rooks.civ@army.mil) by April 22, 2026, 12:00 PM CT. Each company is limited to a maximum of four representatives. The USG will assign a tour week, which may extend into May, and companies will select their three preferred tour days and up to six operational areas via the Company Registration Form. Tours are personal, with two sessions per day (0900-1200 ET; 1300-1600 ET), though two companies may combine for a single tour (max 8 reps total).

Key Requirements & Restrictions

Attendees must have an active registration with the Joint Certification Program (JCP). Strict security protocols prohibit Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs), picture-taking, or recording during tours. Safety is paramount, with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided by the USG, and all plant safety and security regulations must be observed. The USG reserves the right to deny entry for non-compliance. This Industry Day is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee a contract award; information presented here is superseded by any future Request for Proposal (RFP).

Post-Event Actions

Companies are encouraged to submit questions and comments after their tour session using the provided Question/Comment Form. Submissions must be sent electronically to the specified contacts no later than one week after the company's assigned tour concludes. All questions received will be answered by the USG and posted to SAM.gov.
