USACE Charleston District and Coast Guard FD&CC Industry Day

The US Army Corps of Engineers Charleston District has published a Special Notice announcing an Industry Day event scheduled for November 13, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST at The Citadel Mark Clark Auditorium in Charleston, South Carolina. The event is being co-hosted with the US Coast Guard Facilities Design & Construction Command (FD&CC) and will conclude with an evening oyster roast. This industry engagement initiative is specifically targeted toward contractors and subcontractors operating in architectural-engineering services, general construction and renovations, ditching-diking-dredging operations, Facilities Information Systems (FIS) contracting, and roofing services. The notice was posted on October 9, 2025, with the event date serving as the primary deadline for participation.

The primary objective of this Industry Day is to enhance competition, build relationships, and facilitate better understanding between the government agencies and their contractor community regarding mission requirements and contractor capabilities. Contractors interested in participating must register through the provided Zeffy ticketing platform, with the event designed to accommodate both prime contractors seeking small business partners and small businesses looking to network with other firms. The agenda includes leadership briefings from both Charleston District and USCG Base Charleston to discuss upcoming business opportunities, panel discussions on procurement processes and best practices including Design Build to Budget approaches, and mini-matchmaking sessions between contractors and government program managers. The event represents a comprehensive outreach effort focused on the Charleston Area of Responsibility, offering participants insights into projected work opportunities and fostering improved government-contractor collaboration in the region.
