About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Marine Design Center has issued an Invitation for Bid to acquire a new barge and integrate a government-furnished crane to create a floating crane with heavy-lift capability for lock maintenance operations at the Soo Locks. The Detroit District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will utilize the completed vessel to support maintenance activities at their Soo Locks office in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award and will be required to provide bid guarantee, payment, and performance bonding. The procurement includes liquidated damages provisions and falls under NAICS code 336611 for Ship Building and Repair. The solicitation was posted on July 31, 2025, with responses due by September 22, 2025, and all inquiries should be directed to Domenic Sestito at the specified email address.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The barge specifications require precise dimensions including a length of 300 feet, beam of 74 feet, hull depth of 14 feet at the sides and 14 feet 4 inches at centerline, with a full load draft of 7 feet. Due to air draft restrictions, the completed floating crane cannot be delivered via the Mississippi River and must enter the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence Seaway unless constructed or finalized directly on the Great Lakes. The final delivery location is specified as the Soo Locks in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. Contractors are responsible for monitoring SAM.gov for any amendments to the IFB and must print their own copies of the solicitation documents.
