Dredgit Corporation

Dredgit Corporation, doing business as Dredgit, is a Houston-based for-profit dredging and marine infrastructure contractor that operates exclusively as a prime contractor on federal dredging, earthwork, and waterway maintenance projects under total small business set-aside and unrestricted vehicles. The company specializes in maintenance dredging of federal navigation channels, Craney Island earthwork operations, shoreline placement, and critical infrastructure maintenance across the Army Corps of Engineers' Atlantic, Gulf, and Great Lakes districts and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Dredgit's customer base concentrates heavily on the Army Corps of Engineers and its subordinate districts. The top five funding entities account for 91% of recent awards and 98% of combined potential value: the Department of the Army ($180 million, anchored by the Great Lakes Dredging MATOC), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Norfolk ($28.9 million across six awards), the Army Corps of Engineers broadly ($22.4 million across seven awards), the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Philadelphia ($13.8 million across two awards), and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard ($3.3 million across three awards). Norfolk District dominates by award count and represents Dredgit's deepest customer relationship through a $17 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for Craney Island earthwork services. The divergence between award-count rankings and potential-value rankings is extreme: the Department of the Army's two awards represent only 9% of award count but 71% of combined potential value, driven entirely by the $180 million Great Lakes Dredging MATOC awarded December 30, 2025.

Dredgit's capability portfolio centers on hydraulic cutterhead dredging, maintenance dredging of navigation channels and basins, shoreline placement (beach nourishment and confined disposal facilities), and heavy earthwork. Recent representative contracts include a $2.3 million unrestricted definitive contract awarded October 5, 2024, for Cedar Bayou Navigation Channel maintenance dredging (Sections 4–7) in Houston; a $1.9 million Total Small Business definitive contract awarded March 13, 2026, for Little River outlet management dredging in Charleston involving placement of 65,000 cubic yards of unclassified material; and multiple delivery orders under the Norfolk District's $17 million Craney Island Earthwork IDC, including a $5.6 million delivery order (TO4) for earthwork placement in Portsmouth, Virginia, and a $4.4 million delivery order (TO3) for dike fill material placement. The $12 million Philadelphia District contract for removal and disposal of materials (completed November 1, 2023) and the $4.3 million mobilization and demobilization contract for the Shrewsbury River Federal Navigation Project in New Jersey reflect Dredgit's execution depth on complex dredging operations.

Dredgit holds two active parent vehicles: a $17 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District for Craney Island earthwork (generating four task orders worth $14.8 million in combined potential value) and the $180 million Great Lakes Dredging MATOC awarded to multiple contractors through December 29, 2030, under which Dredgit holds a position and has issued one $5,000 delivery order minimum-guarantee call in January 2026. The MATOC is a Total Small Business set-aside procuring maintenance dredging and associated construction across the Great Lakes region within three USACE districts (Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit) with individual task orders capped at $6 million on a firm-fixed-price basis.

Activity has slowed in recent years, declining from four awards in 2022 to one in 2024, with two awards in 2026 year-to-date. Eleven awards have reached ultimate completion; the combined potential value of uncompleted awards is $252.6 million, with significant future exposure concentrated in the Great Lakes MATOC. Dredgit operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontractor footprint in the source data. Across the small subset of work captured in the Service Contract Inventory, Dredgit reported $1.1 million in FY2022 and $1.6 million in FY2023 on service-reportable labor, with minimal FTE engagement (0.8 FTEs in FY2022, 3.9 FTEs in FY2023), and no SCI reportable revenue in FY2024. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime work ranged from a tenth percentile of $235/hr to a median of $411/hr and a ninetieth percentile of $587/hr, reflecting a mix of labor classifications on what are primarily equipment-and-materials-intensive dredging projects. The company competes in both total small business set-asides and unrestricted procurements, with set-aside work concentrated in definitive contracts for maintenance dredging and small-value orders under the Great Lakes MATOC, while larger unrestricted awards (Cedar Bayou, Philadelphia removal and disposal) demonstrate capability to compete in full-and-open dredging procurements.
