This document is a Determination and Findings (D&F) request for consolidation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mobile District for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). The contract is for maintenance dredging of a 27-30 inch cutterhead pipeline dredge and attendant plant across multiple navigation projects in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida, with a total contract capacity of $49,000,000 over a 14-month ordering period.

The primary objective is to consolidate maintenance dredging requirements for multiple harbors including Gulfport, Pascagoula, Mobile, Pensacola, and Panama City into a single solicitation. The Mobile District determined this consolidation approach provides significant benefits, including cost savings in mobilization/demobilization (estimated at a percentage of contract value), reduced administrative costs, more efficient scheduling, and the ability to respond quickly to environmental challenges and urgent dredging needs. The contract will be awarded as an unrestricted, firm-fixed-price Invitation for Bid (IFB) with a maximum contract capacity of $49,000,000.
