About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is soliciting quotes for crane rental services with an operator and rigger to support the BASS Project at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The requirement calls for a 225-ton crane equipped with an NCCCO-certified operator to perform specialized lifting operations during five consecutive working days from January 18-22, 2026. Key contract requirements include delivering the crane to the Alligator Lake Staging Area by 0800 on January 18, 2026, operating during standard 8-hour workdays (0800-1630), providing all necessary equipment for rough terrain conditions, and submitting a detailed lift plan prior to mobilization. The contractor must be capable of executing multiple complex lifts with a maximum lifting radius of 45 feet, including a wall assembly weighing up to 68,500 pounds, rebar mats, kicker assemblies, and anchor beams. The solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote under simplified acquisition procedures, and quotes are due by December 17, 2025, with inquiries directed to David.G.Ammermann@usace.army.mil and Jennifer.Hoben@usace.army.mil.

This procurement is a 100% small business set aside under NAICS code 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) with a size standard of $19,000,000, and no incumbent contractor information has been identified in the available documentation. The specific award value or budget range has not been disclosed in the solicitation notice. The service scope requires the contractor to provide specialized equipment suitable for potentially moist conditions, crane mats for the setup pad, and compliance with all security protocols at the ERDC Testing Facility. Performance will take place entirely at Fort Polk, Louisiana, where the contractor will coordinate with government personnel responsible for component movements and ensure all lifting lugs meet ASME BTH-1-2017 standards. The compressed timeline between the December 17, 2025 quote deadline and the January 18, 2026 mobilization date necessitates immediate preparation and submission of responsive proposals.
