MVS Civil Work and Flood Recovery

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established this Master IDIQ for civil works and flood recovery construction on November 30, 2025—the vehicle's ordering deadline has now passed, and no new task orders may be placed against it. The vehicle was awarded December 1, 2020, with a shared ceiling of $95 million. Twenty-two task orders have been issued under the vehicle; the most recent award (Columbia Bottom Levee Setback to a small business contractor) was placed November 17, 2025, just before the ordering window closed. Combined task-order potential value totals $21.5 million, representing 100 percent obligation against combined potential value.

Work contracted encompasses surveying, earthwork and borrow operations, lime-treated embankment construction, water management, stone surfacing and placement, access road repairs, stone-armored protection installation, drainage structure installation and rehabilitation, relief well rehabilitation and replacement, camera inspection and slip-lining of drainage structures, and turf establishment for levee section repairs across landside, riverside, and crown sections. Task orders show firm fixed-price delivery orders with performance periods ranging from roughly one to three years; typical single-order values range from under $250 thousand to $8.1 million.

The prime contractor base is fragmented. Eagle Eye Electric LLC dominates by potential value, holding three orders worth $14.6 million combined—representing roughly 68 percent of total vehicle value. Keller Construction Inc., Gale Construction Company of Illinois, and Bloomsdale Excavating Company round out the top tier; eight additional small firms hold the remainder. Customer concentration is high: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (broadly defined) accounts for 21 of 22 orders worth $21.1 million combined; the Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 issued one order. The vehicle shows a mixed set-aside posture across task orders: 68 percent (15 orders) unrestricted, 32 percent (7 orders) small business set-aside. Recent small-business task orders suggest the contracting office continues to reserve work for that category despite the vehicle's unrestricted baseline.

Ordering momentum declined sharply post-2021: after an initial surge of 11 orders in 2021, issuance fell to four orders in 2022, one in 2023, and two in 2025 before the vehicle expired. Work is geographically concentrated in the Mississippi River basin and subordinate river systems under Army Corps stewardship in the St. Louis District region.
