The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District is conducting market research for the procurement of a new Self Propelled Crane Barge for the Norfolk District. The vessel specifications require a length not exceeding 105', breadth of 31', and a draft of 5', with specific features including a pilothouse, galley, diesel engine propulsion, Kort nozzle propellers, and spuds.

Interested businesses are required to submit responses by 2:00 PM on May 30, 2025, with comprehensive documentation including company details, DUNS number, CAGE code, business type, operational history, capability statement, and a list of similar projects completed in the past five years.

Responses must be submitted electronically to Noelle Griest, with companies expected to demonstrate substantial experience in marine vessel construction and engineering.
