ENDIST Charleston

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District, a sub-agency of the Department of the Army within the Army's civil works division, executes federal contracts for engineering, construction, flood control, environmental remediation, and facility maintenance projects across the southeastern United States.

The district has awarded 4,832 federal contracts since 1999, with combined potential value of $5.38 billion and $5.25 billion obligated. Activity has remained steady over the last five years: 306 awards in 2022, 368 in 2023, 405 in 2024, 330 in 2025, and 138 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is 2026-07-31.

Competitive concentration is highly concentrated among prime contractors over the last five years. Enviremedial Services, Inc. dominates by award count, capturing 651 awards with $118.1 million combined potential value. Tidewater, Inc. follows with 258 awards and $20 million combined potential value, while DSC-EMI Maintenance Solutions, LLC holds 113 awards worth $34.4 million. Together, these three and Brymak & Associates, Inc. and Integriward, LLC account for 73 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value, concentration is highly fragmented—the same top five primes represent only 4 percent of total combined potential value, indicating that many awards below the dollar threshold dominate the portfolio and that the district transacts heavily through task orders, BPA calls, and modifications with unreported ceiling values.

Set-aside usage skews toward unrestricted competition: 65 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while total small-business set-asides account for 24 percent of awards. 8(a) sole-source awards comprise 6 percent, HUBZone 3 percent, and competitive 8(a) 2 percent. Service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned small business, and partial small-business designations combined account for less than 1 percent of activity.

Current contract activity is concentrated in design-build and construction projects. The Trade and Cargo Academy solicitation (W912HP27RA002 with amendments) represents a major multi-phase opportunity for construction of a Trade and Cargo Academy and Cargo Security and Seized Property Training Facility at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in North Charleston, South Carolina; amendment 0003 (posted October 14, 2026) restricts remaining volume submissions to those who submitted timely preliminary volumes, with a due date of November 6, 2026. A pre-solicitation for FY27 SAD EOC Renovations and Upgrades (W912HP27BA0001) posted September 16, 2026, signals an estimated $1 million to $5 million competitive 8(a) design-build project in Atlanta, Georgia, with formal solicitation expected 15 to 30 days after the announcement. Additional open or recently-posted solicitations include the FY26 Medical University of South Carolina Stormwater Pump Station ($5 million to $10 million, unrestricted, due September 11, 2026), fire alarm system replacement at an Army Reserve Center in Macon, Georgia (restricted to Charleston District DLA Fire Protection MATOC holders, due September 21, 2026), and small-business-set-aside dike and shoreline protection work in Charleston County and Berkeley County, South Carolina.
