About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (NWP) has issued a Special Notice for the Dredge Essayons DCMS PLC and Control-Net Upgrade project. The agency intends to negotiate a sole-source contract with IHC America Inc. for updated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Control Network software, hardware, and equipment that interfaces with the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for the Dredge Essayons vessel. This acquisition falls under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and is justified as sole-source under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) because the currently installed PLCs are designed specifically to work with the existing IHC Dredge Control and Management System and are only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The notice was posted on August 12, 2025, with responses due by August 29, 2025.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors that while the government intends to proceed with sole-source procurement, all responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. Interested parties must submit responses by August 29, 2025, including specific information such as point of contact details, CAGE code, DUNS number, and small business classification if applicable. The government will evaluate capabilities based on the contractor's ability to manufacture and supply items equal to those specified and demonstrate proven reliability through evidence of installations on vessels similar to the Dredge Essayons. A formal solicitation is expected to be advertised around September 3, 2025, though no solicitation currently exists. Responses must be labeled "W9127N-25-Q-A068, DCMS PLC Upgrade - Essayons" and submitted to the designated contracting personnel via email.
