About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Galveston is seeking qualified contractors for maintenance dredging services along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) from Corpus Christi Bay to Port Isabel, including the Channel to Harlingen tributary channel in Texas. This procurement requires contractors to demonstrate proven experience in dredging deep-draft navigation channels, familiarity with complex maritime environments, and expertise in material placement operations. Contractors must be capable of working within the restricted Laguna Madre sea grass window period from November through February while managing commercial vessel traffic and effectively handling dredged material placement. The solicitation specifically targets small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business firms. Interested firms must submit detailed qualifications by 2:00 PM CST on October 24, 2025, with the full solicitation anticipated for release in April 2026, bids due in June 2026, and award expected in July 2026.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation despite targeting small business participation, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the notice. The project involves maintenance dredging of approximately 2,300,000 cubic yards of material with an estimated order of magnitude between $5-10 million. The procurement falls under NAICS code 237990 with a size standard of $37 million for qualifying small businesses. The contract timeline spans from the anticipated July 2026 award through completion of the substantial dredging operations, which must be carefully coordinated with environmental restrictions and commercial shipping schedules in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway system. The project represents a significant maritime infrastructure maintenance effort critical to maintaining navigational channels for commercial vessel traffic in this important Texas waterway system.
