Circle, LLC

Circle, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, provides civil infrastructure construction services to the federal government as a prime contractor exclusively, specializing in levee construction, enlargement, berms, flood control, and seepage remediation along the Mississippi River region. The company operates across a portfolio of 162 prime awards under total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitions, holding two significant indefinite-delivery contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Circle's customer footprint is heavily concentrated in the Army Corps of Engineers. The top three funding entities account for approximately 93% of recent awards by count and 100% by combined potential value: USACE Vicksburg District (9 awards, $362.9 million combined potential value), USACE New Orleans District (18 awards, $286.5 million combined potential value), and the general Department of the Army Corps of Engineers pool (103 awards, $144.2 million combined potential value). The Vicksburg and New Orleans districts together anchor $649.4 million in potential value across 27 awards, representing the core of Circle's federal workload. Activity has remained modest in recent years—one or two awards annually from 2022 through 2026—though the company carries a deep historical relationship with USACE dating to 1984 and a total award footprint of $794.2 million in potential value across 162 contracts.

Circle holds two primary indefinite-delivery vehicles. The first, awarded October 31, 2024, is a $99.5 million multiple-award IDC extending to January 14, 2030, for Mississippi River and Tributaries levee enlargement and berms construction under the MRL Program MATOC. The second, awarded September 21, 2022, is a $98 million multiple-award MATOC extending to November 29, 2026, for the Mississippi Valley Division New Orleans District. Additional parent vehicles include indefinite-delivery contracts W912P815D0002 (14 task orders, $76.3 million) and DACW2985C0047 (11 task orders), demonstrating Circle's position across multiple USACE competitive vehicle families.

Representative recent task orders include a $19.8 million delivery order awarded September 30, 2024, for West Bank Mississippi River Item 525-R levee enlargement and berms in Chicot County, Arkansas (ultimate completion June 30, 2026), a $16.987 million delivery order awarded June 14, 2023, for weather modification work on MRL 460-L (ultimate completion December 31, 2027), a $15.952 million delivery order awarded January 16, 2026, for Tensas Parish levee enlargement in Louisiana (ultimate completion December 31, 2026), and a $10.082 million delivery order awarded September 20, 2023, for St. Rose Levee Enlargement in St. Charles Parish (ultimate completion January 20, 2027). The company also holds a $7.927 million delivery order awarded March 26, 2026, for MRL Item 465-L slide repair (ultimate completion June 30, 2028).

Circle competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on the Vicksburg and New Orleans district contracts, though recent awards show mixed set-aside posture across the portfolio. Five awards carrying $51 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. The company performs work at multiple locations including Vicksburg, Mississippi; Belle Chasse, Louisiana; Vacherie, Louisiana; and Plaquemines Parish, with administrative oversight rooted in the Vicksburg and New Orleans Districts. Obligated dollars to date total $270.3 million across the 162 awards, representing 34% of combined potential value.
