About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Pacific Marine Equipment, LLC/Hundested Propeller, LLC for the procurement of main propulsion propeller blades for the Dredge Yaquina. This acquisition falls under NAICS code 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing) and is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, which allows for non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source exists. The Dredge Yaquina is a federally-owned, U.S. flagged vessel with its home port in Portland, Oregon, and operates under U.S. Coast Guard inspection authority. The Special Notice was posted on July 1, 2025, with a due date of July 16, 2025. The procurement is classified under PSC category 2010 for Ship and Boat Propulsion Components.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform the contracting community that the government intends to proceed with a sole-source procurement rather than issuing a competitive solicitation. The justification stems from the vessel's propulsion system upgrade completed between 2008 and 2012, when Hundested Propeller served as the original equipment manufacturer for the new propulsion shaft design, hub assembly, and propeller blade components. No formal solicitation will be posted, as the government plans to negotiate directly with the identified contractor. The size standard for this procurement is 750 employees, as defined by the Small Business Administration for the applicable NAICS code. This acquisition is necessary to maintain the operational certificates required for the Dredge Yaquina to operate in U.S. territorial waters while supporting the vessel's enhanced efficiency and dredging production capabilities.
