Southern Dredging Co Inc., a small business dredging contractor headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $400 million by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District on June 11, 2025, with performance through July 16, 2030. The contract establishes a multiple award task order contract pool framework to provide maintenance dredging and surface cleanup activities within the boundaries of the United States Army Corps of Engineers South Atlantic Division under North American Industry Classification System code 237990. The contract is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside and anticipates task orders ranging from $1 million to $25 million. Work encompasses sediment removal, material placement in confined disposal areas or upland sites, and environmental compliance activities across critical southeastern maritime infrastructure, including Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia, Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina, and Wilmington Harbor in North Carolina. The contracting officer specified that participating firms must perform at least 40 percent of dredged volume using their own equipment or equipment owned by another small business.

The initial delivery order, awarded on August 4, 2025, to Southern Dredging Co Inc. carries a ceiling value of $20,000 under a firm fixed price structure, with the place of performance in Jacksonville, Florida. Although structured as a multiple award task order contract, Southern Dredging Co Inc. secured the initial single award, positioning the company as the primary provider for maintenance dredging services across the South Atlantic Division. The contractor's experience executing complex maintenance dredging projects at military installations and commercial ports, combined with its established track record with the United States Army Corps of Engineers across multiple districts, supports the company's selection to maintain navigable waterways essential to both commercial and military vessel operations throughout the five-year performance period.
