ENDIST Huntington

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District, a sub-agency within the Army Corps of Engineers, procures construction services, repair and maintenance work on locks and dams, materials supply, and specialized engineering support across the Ohio River navigation system and associated civil works assets in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

The Huntington District has awarded 14,909 federal contracts since 1998, with $1.82 billion in combined award potential value and $2.41 billion in combined dollars obligated. Recent activity has accelerated: 60 awards in 2022, 27 in 2023, 60 in 2024, 229 in 2025, and 186 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-09-10. Among 2,211 distinct prime contractors, competition is highly fragmented. Brannon Contracting & Maintenance Services, LLC leads by award count with 25 awards over the last five years, followed by Burleson Lawn Care LLC with 22; by combined potential value, Acuity—Pt&C, LLC ranks first with $27.1 million across 11 awards, with MPR Associates, Inc. holding $20.9 million across 14 awards. The top five primes account for 15% of recent awards by count and only 4% of combined potential value, reflecting the dominance of small, task-order-driven contracting.

Set-asides heavily favor small business: 57% of awards are designated Total Small Business, with an additional 6% held as 8(a) Sole Source. No Set-Aside awards comprise 35% of the portfolio. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and Woman-Owned Small Business designations represent less than 2% combined.

Grant activity at the Huntington District is minimal. Five cooperative agreements totaling $585 thousand in federal dollars obligated have been awarded since 2021, with The Student Conservation Association, Inc. receiving all four awards in the most recent five-year window ($490 thousand). No additional grant recipients are recorded.

Recent contract opportunities reflect ongoing infrastructure rehabilitation. Pre-solicitation notices (due Oct 28, 2026) seek steel and metal materials for the Marietta Repair Station Stamford De-Watering Box in two phases. A Special Notice posted Oct 8, 2026 (registration deadline Nov 1, 2026) announces a Winfield Locks and Dam Major Rehabilitation Industry Day on November 2, 2026, at the Eleanor Armed Forces Reserve Center, seeking prime contractors and subcontractors for complete replacement and modernization of dam roller gates, hoist machinery, electrical service distribution, and gate anchorage systems; questionnaire and 30% drawings are anticipated on SAM.gov around October 13. A Pre-Solicitation Notice (posted Sep 17, 2026) for a Regional Dredge Multiple Award Task Order Contract (IDIQ-MATOC) targets three firm-fixed-price awards with a combined not-to-exceed of $80 million for maintenance dredging and clearing/snagging services across the Ohio River and subordinate navigation channels within the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division (Nashville, Louisville, Huntington, and Pittsburgh districts); solicitation documents are available on SAM.gov as of October 2, 2026. Additional September solicitations cover wire rope replacement, pump repair and inspection BPAs, barge drydocking, crane repairs, materials supply (milling machines, rip rap, control gates), and dam roof rehabilitation; several carry Total Small Business set-asides.
