EnviroSafe Demil LLC (ESD) of Fallon, Nevada was announced as a small business sole source awardee, for the U.S. Army’s “Conventional Ammunition Demilitarization” of rocket motors. The contract has a total value worth an estimated $315M over 5 years. This contract is a 5-year Indefinite-Delivery- Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. ESD has previously been awarded contracts supporting the demilitarization of the U.S. Army’s stockpile of 20MM, artillery fuzes, and infrared countermeasures/flares stockpile. The rocket motor award will be added to ESD’s existing contract as a contract modification.
EnviroSafe Demil’s CEO, T.J. Ogden, says that ESD is “establishing the future of clean demilitarization technology in Nevada with innovative systems and high-technology careers”. Ogden continued by saying “a sole source contract of this magnitude being awarded to an emerging small business is a testament to the hard work of our team and the support from Churchill County and State of Nevada”. He concluded by declaring “this award further illustrates ESD and the State of Nevada as a clear leader in the future of the demilitarization industry”.
ESD will be utilizing its revolutionary Hybrid Burn Chamber© (HBC) to perform the demilitarization services of the rocket motors. According to ESD President, Mike Wentz, the HBC is their “flagship large- scale demilitarization system that innovatively combines several demilitarization processes into an omnivorous clean technology”.
Including ESD’s current projected workload, the rocket motor contract will support as many as 50-75 jobs in Northern Nevada and Churchill County through direct employment and support services.
In addition to the Hybrid Burn Chamber, EnviroSafe Demil has also unveiled their revolutionary Energetic Activation Unit© (EAU) and is currently in the process of developing a 3rd highly innovative clean technology for the demilitarization industry.
ESD broke ground on their state-of-the-art facility in early March and plan to begin initial operations in late Summer 2022.
