ENDIST Gulf Region

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Gulf Region, a U.S. Army sub-agency within the Corps of Engineers' overseas regional structure, procures military construction, infrastructure, and engineering services supporting U.S. operations and facilities in the Gulf theater. The Gulf Region District executed 3,949 federal contract awards from 2004 through February 2016, with a combined potential value of $3.19 billion and combined dollars obligated at $4.72 billion. Activity peaked during the mid-2000s through early 2010s, declining sharply after 2011; the most recent recorded award dates to February 2016.

Recent activity has been minimal. Awards per year dropped from 127 in 2010 to 33 in 2011, then to single digits by 2014 (1 award), with only 9 awards in 2015 and 22 in 2016 before the award stream stopped. The dramatic contraction reflects the drawdown of U.S. military operations and engineering initiatives in the Gulf region during that period.

The contracting footprint shows minimal set-aside activity. No set-asides were used in 96 percent of awards; 4 percent were designated 8(a) sole source, while small-business set-asides (including service-disabled veteran-owned small business) collectively represented 1 percent of the award portfolio. The 338 distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio history indicates a fragmented competitive landscape, typical of construction and regional engineering work where contract size and specialized Gulf-region expertise limit concentration.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Engineering District Gulf Region. The agency ceased substantive contract activity a decade ago, and no current solicitations or planned procurements are documented. The contract award stream from this sub-agency has not resumed since 2016.
