About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New Orleans initially solicited a cutterhead dredge contract for Mississippi River navigation maintenance from Baton Rouge to the Gulf of Mexico, specifically requiring a fully crewed and equipped cutterhead dredge with a discharge size of 30 inches or greater inside diameter. The primary work involved constructing a saltwater barrier sill between Mile 63.0 and 64.0 Above Head of Passes on the Mississippi River in water deeper than -45 feet LWRP, utilizing hydraulically dredged material from designated river bottom borrow areas. Contractors were required to demonstrate prior experience with cutterhead dredging projects of similar size and complexity for navigation channels. The solicitation was posted on July 13, 2023, with an original due date of July 13, 2025, and expected contract award by April 2023. However, Amendment 0001 issued on July 14, 2025, cancelled the entire solicitation due to expiration.
This procurement was designated as unrestricted with no set-aside provisions, meaning it was open to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The estimated contract value ranged between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000, with the original solicitation structured as a base year starting in 2023 and four option years extending through 2027. The work was to be performed primarily in the Mississippi River Southwest Pass Area near New Orleans, Louisiana, with potential operations in other areas within the New Orleans District. The contract would have required the contractor to provide all attendant plant equipment and crew necessary for the dredging operations. Despite the substantial scope and multi-year structure, the procurement has been terminated entirely, effectively ending this particular contracting opportunity.
