About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District is conducting a sources sought announcement for the FY26 Duwamish Waterway Dredging project located in Seattle, Washington. This is a construction dredging project that will be awarded as a firm-fixed price contract. The announcement is intended for market research purposes only and is not a formal request for proposals or bids. The Government is specifically seeking to identify potentially qualified Small Business, 8(a), Woman Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and HUBZone contractor sources. The procurement falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a Small Business Size Standard of $37 million. Responses to this sources sought announcement must be submitted by April 22, 2026, and the Government will use the information collected to determine whether to set aside the future solicitation to a specific small business category or issue it as unrestricted and open to both small and large businesses.
This sources sought announcement does not represent a set-aside designation at this time, as the Government is still in the information-gathering phase to make that determination. No specific incumbent contractor, budget range, or award value has been disclosed in this announcement. The sources sought responses will remain valid for one year from the April 2, 2026 posting date. Interested contractors should note that responses to this announcement do not constitute a response to any future solicitation and will not place firms on a solicitation mailing list. Once the Government reviews the responses and determines whether to proceed with the project, a separate formal solicitation announcement will be published on SAM.gov.
