About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Rock Island District is seeking to procure the fabrication and delivery of new submergible Tainter gates for Lock and Dam 21 through this pre-solicitation notice. The project involves off-site fabrication of gates that are approximately 20 feet high and 64 feet long, with delivery to the installation site, though installation will be performed by the government and is not included in the contractor's scope. Contractors must possess specific American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) certifications for all fabrication plants, including either IBR with FCE, ABR with FCE, HYD with FCEH, or HYDA certifications, all of which must have been continuously held for three years prior to the solicitation issue date. Additionally, paint and coating certifications are required, specifically either Complex Coatings Endorsement (CCE-1, CCE-2, or CCE-3) or Society for Protective Coatings QP3 Shop Painting Certification, also with three years of continuous certification history. The pre-solicitation was posted on June 9, 2025, with a response deadline of June 23, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 332312 for Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing. The estimated contract value exceeds $10,000,000, indicating a significant federal investment in this critical infrastructure project. The performance period is established at 1,200 consecutive calendar days, providing contractors with over three years to complete the fabrication and delivery requirements. No incumbent contractors are identified in this pre-solicitation notice, suggesting this may be a new procurement or that the government is seeking fresh competition for this specialized hydraulic gate fabrication work. The substantial timeline and high dollar threshold reflect the complex nature of manufacturing these large-scale hydraulic structures that are critical to the operation of the lock and dam system.
