RFI: Kentucky Lock Marine Approach Wall Contract

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Pittsburgh (ENDIST Pittsburgh) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the Kentucky Lock Marine Approach Wall Contract. This procurement solicits market research and informational input from qualified contractors experienced in heavy and civil engineering construction, specifically those with expertise in marine infrastructure development and maintenance. The RFI serves as an informational gathering mechanism rather than a formal solicitation, allowing the government to assess market capabilities and identify potential contractors before proceeding with a full competitive procurement. While specific evaluation criteria are referenced in the attached instructions, the primary objective at this stage is to collect technical and commercial information from the industry. Interested parties must submit responses by May 12, 2026, providing detailed information regarding their qualifications, technical capabilities, and capacity to execute work related to marine approach wall construction and rehabilitation.

This procurement opportunity carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors regardless of business size or ownership status. The RFI notice does not identify any current contractor incumbents or provide specific budget allocation or award value estimates at this pre-solicitation stage. Similarly, no specific contract timeline, quantity specifications, or numerical performance metrics are disclosed in this preliminary announcement. Contractors seeking additional details regarding scope, timeline, budget parameters, and technical requirements should consult the attachments included with this notice, which contain comprehensive instructions for RFI response preparation. This market research phase represents an important opportunity for contractors to position themselves for future competition and demonstrate their qualifications to the Corps of Engineers prior to formal solicitation release.
