ENDIST Jacksonville

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District is a sub-agency of the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that procures and funds civil works, navigation, coastal, and environmental restoration projects primarily across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. The District awards construction contracts, architect-and-engineer services, equipment and materials purchases, and janitorial and facilities services, and administers cooperative agreements for environmental research and restoration.

The Jacksonville District awarded 6,419 federal contracts cumulatively since 1996, with combined potential value of $13.08 billion and $12.34 billion in obligated federal dollars (94% execution rate). Recent contract volume has climbed: 97 awards in 2022, 173 in 2023, 222 in 2024, 193 in 2025, and 90 year-to-date in 2026. Among the 1,403 distinct prime contractors awarded over the portfolio lifetime, competitive concentration is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, CSI / TSF Joint Venture LLC leads by award count with 59 awards ($6.1 million combined potential value), followed by Degrove Surveyors Inc. with 43 awards ($3.3 million), and CSI Geo Inc. with 35 awards ($1 million). These three account for 23 percent of recent awards; by potential value, concentration remains fragmented at 0 percent of combined potential value, reflecting heavy reliance on Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and modifications with unreported dollar values. Applied Aquatic Management Inc. ranks highest by reported value at $17.9 million across 21 awards. The set-aside mix is dominated by unrestricted procurement: 60 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides (all categories) account for 24 percent of awards; 8(a) sole-source represents 12 percent. HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and other small-business designations each represent 1 percent or less.

The District awarded 26 federal grants cumulatively since 2021, obligating $20.2 million in federal dollars. Recent activity shows 3 awards in 2021, 2 in 2022, 5 in 2024, 8 in 2025, and 8 year-to-date in 2026. All grants are Cooperative Agreements. Grant recipient concentration is highly concentrated: Florida International University dominates with 11 awards and $2.8 million federal dollars obligated, and the University of Florida holds 7 awards and $2.4 million, together representing 100 percent of recent awards and 34 percent of federal dollars. The remaining four recipients—Avian Research and Conservation Institute Inc., Florida Atlantic University, National Audubon Society Inc., and others—share the balance.

Current contract solicitations reflect the District's core mission: Port Everglades Harbor Maintenance Dredging (Broward County) due 28 August 2026, Fort Pierce Harbor Maintenance Dredging (St. Lucie County) due 16 October 2026, and Palm Beach Harbor South Jetty Rehabilitation (Palm Beach County) due 26 October 2026 (all unrestricted, firm-fixed-price, in the $5–10 million range). An Indefinite Delivery Architect-and-Engineering contract for Surveying and Mapping Services is in pre-solicitation (due 22 October 2026). A Construction Materials Blanket Purchase Agreement for the South Atlantic Division (small-business set-aside) closed 3 September 2026. Lease solicitations for recruiting facilities in Homestead FL, St. Thomas VI, and Cayey PR are also active. The District is conducting a virtual industry engagement session on 19 October 2026 for coastal and navigation projects.
