USACE St. Louis District Civil Works and Flood Recovery 2025 -2030

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers established a multiple-award Master IDIQ on November 3, 2025, for St. Louis District Civil Works and Flood Recovery Projects, with a shared ceiling of $95 million and ordering authority through November 2, 2030.

The vehicle remains early-stage and exhibits a data anomaly that warrants clarification before committing resources. While the IDIQ carries a $95 million potential value, the task-order portfolio shows only $6 thousand in combined potential value across 11 awards, with 100 percent obligated. The recent ordering activity—11 task orders issued between November 13 and November 26, 2025—all carry minimum-guarantee ceilings of $500 each, structured to be de-obligated upon award of substantive work. This pattern suggests these initial orders are placeholder vehicles to satisfy contract-formation requirements rather than indicators of actual work value or scope. The source does not clarify whether the $95 million shared ceiling will be populated through future task orders or whether the $6 thousand portfolio represents the actual scope intended under this vehicle.

Scope encompasses full-scale civil works and flood recovery construction across the St. Louis District, including surveying, earthwork and borrow operations, embankment treatments, stone surfacing, access road repairs, drainage structure installation and rehabilitation, levee repair, and relief well work. Work is performed across the Mississippi River basin footprint of the St. Louis District, spanning multiple states.

Competition is diffuse at this nascent stage; 11 distinct primes hold the 11 task orders, each with one award valued at $500. Gale Construction Company of Illinois, Better By Design LLC, Eagle Eye Electric LLC, Legacy Corporation of IL, and SD Resources Inc. are representative of the awardee base. No prime dominates. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District St. Louis is the sole customer across all 11 orders. About 82 percent of orders carry no set-aside designation; 18 percent are designated Total Small Business.

Ordering authority extends through November 2, 2030, providing roughly four years and three months for task-order issuance against the shared ceiling. Before pursuing, confirm whether future task orders will represent substantive work scopes and values aligned with the $95 million vehicle potential.
