ENDIST New York

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New York, a sub-agency of the Army within the Department of Defense, procures water-resource infrastructure projects, civil construction, facility maintenance, and environmental remediation across the northeastern United States, including coastal protection, navigation improvements, and ecosystem restoration.

The District closed 4,451 contract awards across its portfolio history with a combined potential value of $10.81 billion and combined dollars obligated of $12.23 billion. Recent contract activity shows 136 awards in 2023, 140 in 2024, 128 in 2025, 77 in 2026, and 1 recorded award in 2027. The prime contractor base is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, First Environment Inc. leads by award count with 37 awards, followed by Battelle Memorial Institute with 32 and Aqua Survey, Inc. with 31; these top five contractors by count hold 23 percent of recent awards. By potential value, the top five are concentrated differently: Donjon Marine Co., LLC dominates with seven awards and $331.2 million combined potential value, but the top five by value hold only 4 percent of combined potential value across recent awards—a signal that the District transacts substantially through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and modifications where dollar ceilings are not reported in source data. Set-asides are minimal; 72 percent of awards are open market (no set-aside used), 15 percent are small-business set-asides, and 8 percent are 8(a) sole source, with SDVOSB and HUBZone accounting for 2 percent and 1 percent respectively.

The District maintains a grant-making portfolio of minimal scale: four cooperative-agreement awards totaling $1.3 million in federal dollars obligated since 2017. Haudenosaunee Environmental Task Force received two awards and $866 thousand, representing 100 percent of recent grant awards by count and 64 percent of federal dollars obligated.

Recent contract opportunities span infrastructure, environmental, and facility work. Diving Services for the Albany Field Office (W912DS27QA001, due 5 November 2026, total small business set-aside) seeks labor and equipment to inspect and clear debris from Troy Lock and Dam.

Port Monmouth Phase II Mitigation (W912DS26RA032, due 21 October 2026, no set-aside) is a two-phase design-build for coastal and flood-risk management infrastructure in Raritan Bay.

Small-business and facility-maintenance contracts for recruiting-station paint, upgrades, and lease proposals remain active across New York and New Jersey through September and October 2026.
