How to bid on LCAAP Contaminated Waste Plant construction for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying
The Department of Defense is seeking construction services at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) in Independence, Missouri. This project involves several key upgrades to waste treatment facilities.
The work includes building a new decontamination facility, demolishing and replacing the existing pyrotechnic waste treatment facility, refurbishing the neutralized explosive wastewater treatment facility, and replacing its lift station. This is a significant construction opportunity for firms specializing in industrial or environmental infrastructure.
Key dates and deadlines
This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on August 06, 2026. The final deadline for submitting your proposal is August 25, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET.
An important update (Amendment 0001) changed the deadline for submitting questions. All questions must now be submitted by August 14, 2026, at 12:00 PM Central Time. Make sure to submit any questions well before this revised deadline.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for construction firms with experience in specialized industrial facilities, particularly those involving waste treatment, decontamination, or similar infrastructure projects. Given the nature of the work at an Army Ammunition Plant, experience with secure or sensitive sites may also be beneficial.
The project falls under the construction category, so firms with relevant NAICS codes and past performance in large-scale construction or environmental remediation will find this relevant.
