Parsons Secures $169.5M Army Ammunition Plant Contract

Parsons Corporation has secured a $169.5 million contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District to design and build a new Ammonium Nitrate Solution (ANSol) Tank Farm at the Holston Army Ammunition Plant. This four-year project aims to replace existing storage tanks to increase capacity for ANSol, a critical byproduct in explosives manufacturing, supporting expanded military production capabilities. The contract is part of the U.S. Army's multi-billion-dollar Organic Industrial Base Modernization Implementation Plan, which focuses on upgrading facilities, processes, and workforce capabilities across depots, arsenals, and ammunition plants. This marks Parsons' third contract with the USACE Norfolk District in four years, following previous projects for an Explosive Decomposition Chamber at Holston and an Energetic Waste Incinerator at Radford Army Ammunition Plant. Jon Moretta, President of Engineered Systems at Parsons, emphasized the importance of the Holston facility in supporting warfighter readiness and Parsons' commitment to advancing the Army's modernization efforts. Parsons' continued involvement underscores its strategic role in enhancing critical defense infrastructure to meet current and future military demands.
