About this file
This is an Industry Day Notification and pre-solicitation notice for two fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite structure fabrication projects. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District, is announcing a virtual Industry Day meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 1000-1100 CDT via Microsoft Teams to inform prospective fabricators and manufacturers about two upcoming procurement opportunities: the Holt Lock Filling and Emptying Valve Bulkhead (Black Warrior-Tombigbee River) and the Okatibbee Dam Culvert Intake Bulkhead. The NAICS code is 326199 (All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing). Interested companies must provide all labor, materials, shop facilities, and equipment necessary for complete fabrication, shop-testing, and delivery of these structures to USACE for government acceptance.
The government seeks fabricator feedback on four critical areas: fabrication and tolerance feasibility relative to draft drawings and specifications; material and component procurement including availability and long-lead items; shop testing and quality assurance parameters; and delivery and transportation logistics. Following the general briefing, individual 45-minute breakout sessions will be available beginning at 1130 PM CST for interested firms to discuss approaches and challenges one-on-one with the project team. Prospective participants must email their intent to attend by 1600 CDT on September 18, 2026, to Ashley Kleinschrodt (ashley.n.kleinschrodt@usace.army.mil) for the Holt Bulkhead project or Jonas White (jonas.white@usace.army.mil) for the Okatibbee Bulkhead project, including company name and contact information. Draft drawings and technical specifications will be provided prior to the meeting. Funding has been authorized and allocated. The government intends to finalize the acquisition package based on Industry Day feedback and schedule formal solicitation advertisement for early 2027. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal request for proposal.

INDUSTRY DAY NOTIFICATION
(Virtual Presentation 1000 - 1100 CDT • Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026 • MSTEAMS) Industry Day Web meeting for Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composite Structures at Black Warrior-Tombigbee River Holt Lock Filling and Emptying Valve Bulkhead and Okatibbee Dam Culvert Intake Bulkhead FRP Fabrication Notice NAICS Code: 326199 - All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing Description The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District, will be conducting a virtual Industry Day to inform prospective fabricators and manufacturers of two upcoming procurement projects under development: the Holt Lock Filling and Emptying Valve Bulkhead and the Okatibbee Dam Culvert Intake Bulkhead.
The primary objective of these projects is for the fabricator to provide all labor, materials, shop facilities, and equipment necessary for the complete fabrication, shop-testing, and delivery of these structures to USACE for Government acceptance and use.
The Government is particularly interested in fabricator consultation regarding manufacturing feasibility, quality control (QA/QC) parameters, and transport logistics. Key topics for feedback include:
1. Fabrication & Tolerance Feasibility: Review of Draft Drawings and Technical Specifications.
1. Material & Component Procurement: Availability, long-lead items, and specialty steel sourcing.
1. Shop Testing & Quality Assurance: Feedback on proposed validation testing and inspections.
1. Delivery & Transportation Logistics: Delivery requirements and shipping constraints.
The Industry Day event will be held via Microsoft TEAMS at 1000 CDT on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The virtual meeting will consist of a briefing for each project conducted by the USACE engineering team. After the general session, individual 45-minute breakout sessions will be held for interested firms, beginning at 1130 PM CST. This is a critical opportunity for fabricators to provide direct feedback and discuss potential approaches and challenges one-on-one with the project team. We strongly encourage fabricators to share their suggestions, particularly regarding the draft specifications and drawings. A short questionnaire will be emailed following the briefing. Draft drawings and technical specifications will be provided as enclosures for review prior to the meeting.
Funding has been authorized and allocated for these fabrication requirements. The government intends to utilize the feedback gathered during this Industry Day to finalize the acquisition package and schedule the formal advertisement of the work early 2027.
Please email the Project Managers, Ashley Kleinschrodt at ashley.n.kleinschrodt@usace.army.mil (Holt Bulkhead) and Jonas White at jonas.white@usace.army.mil (Okatibbee Bulkhead) no later than 1600 CDT on September 18, 2026, if you plan to attend this event and if you are interested in participating in the individual breakout sessions. Provide your name, contact information, the company you represent. If no contractors respond, Industry Day will be canceled.
