About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Galveston District is conducting a Sources Sought market survey for maintenance dredging services on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) in Texas, specifically from High Island to Causeway and the Channel to Port Bolivar. This is not a solicitation for proposals and will not result in contract award; rather, it is intended to gauge industry interest, capabilities, and qualifications before issuing a formal competitive procurement. The government is particularly interested in responses from small businesses, including 8(a) firms, HUBZone businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Interested firms must submit responses by 2:00 P.M. local time on January 22, 2026, providing documentation of their capability to perform similar dredging work, along with their Unique Entity Identifier, contact information, and registration status in SAM.gov. The formal solicitation is anticipated to be issued in August 2026, with proposals due in October 2026, and will be conducted as a competitive, firm-fixed price procurement under the sealed bidding process outlined in FAR 14.
The contract carries no set-aside designation at this time, though a determination will be made based on the responses received. The project involves maintenance dredging of approximately 700,000 cubic yards with material placement in upland and semi-confined areas along the GIWW, including work at the Bolivar Flare section. The estimated contract value ranges between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000, and the procurement structure includes one base schedule and three optional work areas. A key qualification requirement is that contractors must be capable of performing at least 40% of the dredging work using their own equipment or equipment from another small business. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with responding to this Sources Sought notice, and respondents will not receive notification of evaluation results.
