About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, is seeking a contractor to design and build up to sixteen new turbine runners and rewind up to sixteen generators at the John Day Dam near Rufus, Oregon, with generating units 1-14 located in Sherman County, Oregon and units 15-16 located in Klickitat County, Washington. The primary objectives are to improve reliability of turbine operations, increase survival of turbine-passed fish, increase turbine efficiency, and increase operational flexibility. This is a competitive unrestricted procurement using two-phase design-build and best value tradeoff source selection procedures under FAR subpart 36.3 and FAR Part 15, with evaluation criteria focusing on value and technical merit. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis with economic price adjustment provisions. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on October 20, 2025, with a due date of November 28, 2025, and the Corps has solicited industry input regarding the inclusion of Project Labor Agreement requirements in the upcoming solicitation.
This procurement includes no set-aside designations but incorporates HUBZone price evaluation preference in full and open competition. The estimated magnitude of construction exceeds $500,000,000, making this a significant infrastructure investment. The NAICS code is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a small business size standard of $45 million. Contractors should be aware that DFARS clause 252.204-7021 regarding Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements will be included in the solicitation as applicable. Previous market research communications remain available on SAM.gov for thirty days from the posting date, though the forthcoming official solicitation will supersede all prior communications and serve as the governing document for all requirements.
