The solicitation falls under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction - Dredging) with a small business size standard of $37 million and PSC code Y1KF for construction of dredging facilities. While evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, firms should anticipate that the formal Invitation for Bid will establish specific performance standards and technical requirements. Key dates include the anticipated solicitation posting in March 2026 and the anticipated bid due date in April 2026, with this pre-solicitation notice posted on February 12, 2026, providing firms advance notice to prepare their proposals.
This contract opportunity is designated as a total Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small businesses meeting the size standard criteria are eligible to compete. The anticipated contract value ranges between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, structured as a firm fixed-price award. No incumbent contractor or previous contract information is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The work is not contingent on a specific timeline beyond mobilization and demobilization requirements, though the optional Cornucopia Inner Harbor dredging suggests potential contract modifications. All solicitation materials, documents, drawings, specifications, and attachments will be available exclusively through electronic means via the PIEE Solicitation Module and SAM.gov at no cost, with no hard copies provided to interested parties.
