No incumbent contractor or prior awardee is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The contract will be classified under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a small business size standard of $37,000,000, and falls under PSC category Y1KF (Construction of Dredging Facilities).
