About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District is seeking qualified contractors to perform comprehensive watershed stabilization work for the Long Run Watershed Stabilization Project located in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The project encompasses two distinct sites requiring civil engineering and construction services, including excavation, debris removal, culvert replacement, retaining wall installation, and vegetation restoration. At Site A, contractors must excavate and remove debris from an existing culvert pipe channel and install a new precast modular block gravity retaining wall approximately 80 feet in length and 10 feet in height while maintaining stream flow continuity. At Site B, contractors will excavate and replace an existing 18-inch culvert pipe over an 80-linear-foot span with new reinforced concrete pipe, followed by restoration of disturbed vegetation, concrete, and pavement in surrounding areas. This Pre-Solicitation Notice was posted on December 9, 2025, with a response deadline of December 23, 2025, and serves as a Sources Sought Notice for acquisition planning purposes rather than a formal solicitation, meaning no contract awards will be made directly from this notice.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and will be conducted under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) with a PSC Category of Y1NZ (Construction of Other Utilities). The notice does not disclose an estimated contract value or budget range, nor does it identify any incumbent contractors or current award holders. If the effort is ultimately set aside in a future formal solicitation, the standard limitation on subcontracting will apply, restricting contractors to subcontracting no more than 75 percent of the Government-paid contract amount (excluding material costs) to non-similarly situated entities. The project's scope is clearly defined with specific structural dimensions—the retaining wall at 80 feet long by 10 feet high and the 80-linear-foot culvert pipe replacement—providing contractors with measurable project parameters for preliminary planning and capacity assessment. Interested contractors should monitor for the formal solicitation announcement, as this notice is designed to gather capability information to inform the final acquisition strategy.
