The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded multiple firm fixed price delivery order contracts to Luhr Bros., Inc. under a broader Indefinite Delivery Contract for the construction and maintenance of various stone navigation structures along the Mississippi River system. These structures, which include dikes, chevrons, bendway weirs, and revetments, are critical to maintaining authorized navigation channels and supporting flood control efforts. The delivery orders, valued from $1.3 million to $12.1 million, task Luhr Bros. with providing stone materials, constructing new infrastructure, and performing maintenance on existing structures at numerous locations across Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Luhr Bros. is a prime contractor registered in SAM.gov that specializes in marine construction services for the Corps' civil works projects. The contract awards do not utilize any small business set-asides. This Indefinite Delivery Contract supports the Army Corps' ongoing mission to develop and preserve the nation's inland waterway transportation network through the construction and upkeep of critical river infrastructure. The original competitive solicitation was a Special Notice published by the Corps' Memphis Engineering District to inform potential contractors of the agency's intent to negotiate a sole source Indefinite Delivery Contract for Mississippi River stone structure construction and maintenance. The notice stated the Corps requires a limited number of contractors with the specialized capabilities to perform this work, which includes stone placement, bank stabilization, and dredging services. While the agency will not issue a formal solicitation, it invited qualified contractors to submit capability statements demonstrating how competition would benefit the government's requirements. This approach allows the Corps to directly negotiate with the most capable sources given the technical and logistical complexities involved in maintaining the Mississippi River navigation system.
