About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New Orleans is soliciting proposals for the procurement of one fully crewed and equipped hydraulic pipeline cutterhead dredge to remove shoal material from the Atchafalaya River Bay, Bar, and Crewboat Cut Channel in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. The work requires a complete dredge operation including all attendant plant, equipment, and crew necessary to perform the dredging operations satisfactorily. This acquisition will proceed under Full and Open Competition with no set-asides applied, as market research determined that small business firms in the dredging industry lack the requisite dredge plant size, pumping capacity, and operational capability to perform this work at fair market prices. The solicitation documents will be posted on SAM.gov, and interested vendors must register in the System for Award Management to be eligible for contract award. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 23, 2026, with the formal solicitation anticipated to be issued on or about April 7, 2026, and a bid opening date to be established in a future amendment.
This procurement falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a small business size standard of $37,000,000, and the estimated magnitude of construction ranges between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000. The contract will require bonding as a condition of award. No specific incumbent or current contractor is identified in the pre-solicitation notice. Interested vendors are encouraged to register on SAM.gov and are urged to post subcontracting opportunities on the Small Business Administration's SUBNet to support small business participation. The formal solicitation due date is April 7, 2027, providing potential offerors with an extended timeline to prepare their proposals. Inquiries regarding this opportunity should be directed to Contracting Officer Karen D. Hargrave or Contract Specialist Francesca deBoer at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District.
