Missouri River Bank Stabilization and Navigation Program Services MATOC

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established this Master IDIQ on September 29, 2021, to procure construction services for stone dike and revetment repair on the Missouri River between St. Louis, Missouri and Rulo, Nebraska in support of the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Program and Missouri River Recovery Program. Ordering authority expires September 28, 2026, leaving approximately two months to place new orders against the vehicle's $99.5 million shared ceiling. The solicitation was set aside for total small business, though awarded task orders show a mixed set-aside portfolio.

Ten task orders have been issued to four prime contractors. Ordering momentum has been uneven—four orders in 2021, one in 2022, four in 2023, and one in early 2026—reflecting lumpy construction project scheduling rather than steady procurement velocity. The vehicle has obligated $50.9 million of its $51.7 million combined task-order potential value (98%), leaving minimal capacity for additional awards before the ordering period closes.

Midwest Construction Co dominates the vehicle, holding three orders valued at $37.3 million combined potential—roughly 72% of all awards. Dubuque Barge And Fleeting Service Co and W A Ellis Construction CO. each hold three orders ($8.7 million and $5.7 million respectively), with ESI Contracting, Corp. receiving one token award. All task orders fund the Army Corps of Engineers exclusively.

Actual task orders diverge from the solicitation's competitive structure. While the solicitation promised a multiple-award MATOC with up to five contracts, the portfolio shows three primes holding most activity, two of which (Dubuque Barge, W A Ellis) received equal numbers of orders despite significantly different valuations. About 30% of awarded orders were designated Total Small Business (three orders); the remainder were unrestricted. Individual delivery orders range from $2,500 to $31.2 million in obligated value, with firm fixed-price pricing across all awards. Typical construction projects include rock placement and structural repair work at specific river bends and control structures, with completion dates concentrated in 2024–2026. Work is performed on the Missouri River at designated river miles and specific named structures (Tadpole Control Structure, Benedictine Chute, Dalbey Chute, Pelican Bend, Plowboy Bend).
