Metal Fabrication, Refurbishment, and Installation MATOC

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers established this master IDIQ on November 21, 2022, to procure metal fabrication, refurbishment, and installation services supporting locks, dams, and related infrastructure across the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. Ordering authority runs through November 20, 2027, leaving approximately 16 months for new task-order placement against the $160 million shared ceiling.

Activity has moderated since the vehicle's launch. The contracting office issued 14 task orders in 2022 (the initial award year), declining to 4 in 2023 and stabilizing at 6 annually in 2024 and 2025. The most recent award occurred on September 29, 2025. Of the 30 total task orders, 25 are unrestricted and 5 carry small-business set-asides. Combined potential value across all orders totals $101.8 million, with $80.2 million obligated (79% of potential), indicating a moderately active vehicle with meaningful room for additional orders before the ceiling is approached.

Competition is concentrated among a small set of established primes. G & G Steel Inc. dominates by both order count and value, holding 7 orders worth $46.2 million combined potential value. Steward Machine Co Inc. ranks second with 6 orders valued at $16.1 million, while Precision Build Solutions LLC and Marine Diving Solutions, LLC each hold 3 orders valued at $20.1 million and $14.3 million respectively. These five firms account for 77% of all orders and 99% of combined potential value; the remaining four primes hold minimal share.

Customer concentration mirrors the geographic scope of the vehicle. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Louisville dominates by potential value, with 4 orders worth $52.4 million. The parent agency, Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, accounts for 21 orders valued at $17.2 million across divisions, while the Huntington District holds 1 order worth $19.1 million. Task orders typically involve fabrication and delivery of high-value lock and dam components—miter gates, emergency bulkheads, valves, and related structural steel assemblies—with firm-fixed-price terms. Recent orders show individual ceilings ranging from approximately $180,000 to $38.9 million, with durations extending to 2029 for the largest projects.
