About this opportunity

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Louisville Engineering District is requesting quotes for a long-term charter of a towboat without personnel to support operations at the Olmsted Locks and Dam. The procurement seeks a Z-drive towboat with 1,800 to 2,200 horsepower that is no more than 12 years old and meets specific dimensional and operational requirements, including a steel hull, two diesel marine engines, two Z-drives with Kort Nozzles, and compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations. The vessel will be operated by government personnel primarily on the Ohio River to push barges needed for dam maintenance and will be capable of operating across the Louisville District's navigable rivers from Markland's pool to Cairo, Illinois. Contract award will be made solely on the basis of lowest total price to the government, with the evaluation emphasizing cost competitiveness over other factors. Quotes must be submitted electronically through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) by December 3, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, and contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) prior to submission.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a sole source Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order with no incumbent contractor information provided. The contract value falls within the $45.5 million size standard for NAICS 532411, though specific budget ranges or estimated values are not disclosed in the solicitation documents. The contract structure includes a base year from December 8, 2025, to December 7, 2026, with options for an additional 2.5 years extending through June 6, 2029, for a total potential performance period of approximately 3.5 years. Payment will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer to the contractor's designated commercial bank account, and the vessel charter pricing is structured with line items for mobilization, demobilization, vessel turnover, and monthly charter rates. The place of performance is the Olmsted Locks and Dam in Olmsted, Illinois, with the vessel primarily stationed at Ohio River Mile 964 at the Olmsted Lock location.
