About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mississippi Valley Division and Memphis District, held an in-person Industry Day on September 17, 2026, at the Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to brief vendors on the Articulated Concrete Mattress (ACM) mat casting program and future plans. This notice does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation, award a contract, or reimburse attendance costs; the Government is not accepting unsolicited proposals at this time. Nonparticipation does not preclude future solicitation eligibility.
The ACM program supports bank stabilization on the Mississippi River across 955 river miles managed by three districts, maintaining navigation and flood risk management from Cairo, Illinois, to the Gulf of America. Current production uses precast 18" × 48" × 3" concrete blocks with stainless steel fabric at three government-owned facilities under mixed Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated and Government Owned, Contractor Operated models. Traditional casting contracts are anticipated to be unavailable in FY2027 and FY2028 due to funding constraints and existing inventory. The centerpiece of future operations is an automated mat casting facility at Richardson Landing, scheduled for completion in 2028, designed to produce a minimum of 50,000 squares annually per shift with maximum capacity of 150,000 squares under 24-hour operations. The facility aims to reduce manual labor, improve quality and consistency, enhance safety, and eliminate weather-dependent production disruptions. Seven industry companies attended the event; the Government has posted the presentation briefing and attendee roster for public download.
