Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, specifically W6QK ACC-RI, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding Contractor Self-Investment and Intellectual Property (IP) strategy for the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) in Radford, VA. This RFI seeks industry input to refine the RFAAP Competition Evaluation Criteria and develop a mutually beneficial acquisition strategy. Responses are due by April 6, 2026.
Scope of Work
The USG is requesting industry responses on the following key areas:
- Production Numbers: What production volumes are necessary to incentivize industry to self-invest into RFAAP?
- Investment Recovery: What volumes (low, medium, high) would allow an operating contractor to recover self-investment within the first five years of full operational control?
- Intellectual Property Strategy: Assistance in developing an IP strategy that affords the USG the necessary Unlimited Rights for capabilities remaining at RFAAP, considering both 100% contractor-funded and contractor/USG co-investment scenarios.
