About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, is seeking to procure typical sandbags and shipping for the National Flood Fight Materiel Center (NFFMC). The procurement will be a firm fixed price contract for textile bags specifically designed for flood mitigation purposes. Potential contractors must be able to provide white sandbags constructed from coated polypropylene fabric with specific technical requirements, including a 700 denier fabric, 10x10 woven pattern, and UV resistance coating. The agency is requesting written notifications from small businesses demonstrating their capability to meet the contract requirements by February 26, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Time. Interested firms should submit supporting evidence and capability statements to the designated contracting officers, John Wysocki and Ryan Larrison, who will assess the submissions to determine whether to proceed with a competitive procurement.
The opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, with a NAICS code of 314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills) and a size standard not exceeding 500 employees. The technical specifications require precise packaging and delivery parameters, including wooden shipping containers measuring 4'x4'x4' that can hold 25 bundles of 500 sandbags each, totaling 12,500 sandbags per container. Delivery timelines vary based on urgency: 48 hours for emergency conditions, 5 business days for urgent situations, 45 days for standard CONUS deliveries, and 90 days for deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories. All shipments must be transported via side-access trailers capable of forklift unloading, with transportation costs listed as a separate contract line item. While no specific award value is mentioned, the detailed requirements suggest a comprehensive and potentially significant procurement for flood mitigation preparedness.
