The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded Hesco Bastion Inc., a foreign-owned for-profit manufacturer, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for the provision of gabion baskets and associated technical advisory services in support of the National Flood Fight Materiel Center (NFFMC). The single-award IDC, valued at up to $7.66 million, has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2022. Under this contract, USACE has issued firm-fixed price delivery orders to Hesco Bastion for the supply of gabion baskets, restocking, and technical advisory services at locations across the United States, with order values ranging from $3,587 to over $750,000. Hesco Bastion has previously held similar indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction and Equipment portfolio to furnish protective wall systems and barrier materials for global defense programs.
The original solicitation, issued by USACE Rock Island District, sought fully lined gabion baskets to support the NFFMC. The evaluation criteria included technical factors such as seepage rates and ease of construction. USACE required the submission of product samples and ERDC test results for consideration. This IDC enables USACE to issue delivery orders for the procurement of gabion baskets and related services on an as-needed basis to maintain military readiness and assist with national flood response efforts.
