About this opportunity
The Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, intends to solicit maintenance dredging services for the Port of Baltimore's federal navigation channels, with solicitation release anticipated on or about July 10, 2026; no set-aside applies to this procurement.
The work encompasses approximately 2,250,000 cubic yards of material removal from deep-draft channels to be completed between November 2026 and March 2027 within a 120-calendar-day performance window from Notice-to-Proceed. Approximately 1,538,000 cubic yards will be dredged from the Maryland approach channels (Craighill Entrance, Craighill Angle, Cutoff Angle, and Upper Range Channels) and placed at the Paul S. Sarbanes Ecosystems Restoration Project at Poplar Island; approximately 700,000 cubic yards will be dredged from Baltimore Harbor Channels (Brewerton Angle and Curtis Bay Channels) and placed at the Cox Creek Dredged Material Containment Facility. All channels are dredged to 50 feet mean lower low water with an allowable over-depth of 1–2 feet.
The estimated construction magnitude is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Typical equipment required consists of two 30-plus cubic yard clamshell dredges, one 24–30-inch hydraulic unloader, six to eight large tugs, six to eight 2,500–6,000 cubic yard material scows, a drag bar and barge, and attendant plant and pipeline. Work is performed within heavy commercial waterways supporting the Port of Baltimore.
