Indefinite Delivery Contract W912ES19D0006

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to L S Marine Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business, to provide mechanical dredging services on the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers in the Midwest region. The $25,576,250 IDC, which has a base period and four option periods, allows the Army Corps to order dredging, excavation, dredge material placement, and related water construction services on an as-needed basis to support navigation, flood control, and environmental restoration projects. L S Marine Inc. will perform work at various locations across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, drawing on its extensive experience executing over 75 task orders for the Army Corps since 2019, many of which were set aside for small businesses. The original solicitation for this IDC was a total small business set-aside, with offerors required to use at least 40% of their own or another small dredging firm's equipment to be eligible.

The task orders awarded under this IDC demonstrate the range of dredging and water construction services L S Marine Inc. provides to the Army Corps, including mechanical dredging, channel dredging, dredge material placement, mobilization, demobilization, and shoreline stabilization at locations across the Midwest. While some orders do not have set-asides, L S Marine Inc. frequently benefits from small business preferences due to its status as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and subchapter S corporation. The Army Corps leverages this IDC, and L S Marine Inc.'s established capabilities, to efficiently maintain navigable waterways, control flooding, and execute environmental stewardship projects.
