Big River Salvage And Construction, Inc.

Big River Salvage And Construction, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Vicksburg, Mississippi, performs dry dock salvage and construction services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor, with no subcontract footprint. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation operating under NAICS 488390 (Ship Building and Repairing) and related PSC codes for marine equipment maintenance, repair, and rebuild work. All three recent awards carry full-and-open designations with no set-aside category.

Big River's customer base is concentrated entirely within a single federal agency. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers accounts for all awards; both the Vicksburg District and the broader Engineering District entity have placed work. The company holds a $20 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, awarded May 1, 2026, running through May 30, 2029, which established the terms for dry dock salvage and construction services supporting the Vicksburg District. Against this BPA, the Vicksburg District has issued two task orders totaling $228 thousand in combined potential value: a $76,800 BPA call (awarded July 13, 2026) for welding and crane support on a mat-sinking unit project to reinstall fingers into a matboat, and a $151,402 BPA call (awarded May 15, 2026) for winch rebuild and restoration to safe operating conditions and fabrication and assembly of two new spuds for barge hauling under variable river stages.

Activity remains nascent in the source data — three awards across 2026 alone, with two awards (combined potential value $228 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated total $228 thousand (1% of the $20.2 million combined potential value), reflecting the early stage of BPA deployment against the newly awarded multiple-award vehicle. Performance location is Vicksburg, Mississippi.
