LRD Industry Day 2024

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Great Lakes and Ohio River Division (LRD) has issued a Special Notice for an Industry Day event scheduled for December 4, 2024, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The event will be held at the Hilton Netherland Plaza and is designed to bring together small and large businesses interested in learning about the division's mission and potential contracting opportunities for Fiscal Year 2025. LRD encompasses seven districts: Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Huntington, Louisville, Nashville, and Pittsburgh. This is an in-person only event that will provide networking opportunities, presentations, and breakout sessions for potential contractors. The event is free, but registration is mandatory for all attendees.

The primary objective of this Industry Day is to provide contractors with comprehensive insights into LRD's upcoming contracting opportunities and operational priorities for FY25. Contractors must register through Eventbrite before the deadline of 5 PM Eastern on December 3, 2024, with no specific eligibility restrictions noted. The event will cover a range of topics including Civil Works programs, Military programs, and Emergency Response capabilities, with breakout sessions focusing on areas such as Acquisition 101, market research, and emerging technologies like 3D printing. Potential opportunities highlighted include a nationwide $2B design-build/design-bid-build MATOC for Environmental Resiliency Conservation Infrastructure Program, construction projects ranging from $5M to $250M, and environmental remediation initiatives. Interested contractors are advised to be registered in SAM.gov and prepare for potential opportunities across multiple functional areas including vertical and horizontal construction, dredging, and environmental services.
