Great Lakes Dock And Materials, L.L.C.

Great Lakes Dock And Materials, L.L.C., a Muskegon, Michigan-based HUBZone small business, is a prime contractor delivering breakwater and pier repair, maintenance dredging, and confined disposal facility construction to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across the Great Lakes region. The vendor competes predominantly under small-business set-asides, with 100% of its recent awards as prime contracts and no subcontract footprint.

Great Lakes Dock And Materials operates almost exclusively for the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers. The top three funding entities account for 93% of awards by count: the USACE Detroit District (34 awards, $234.3 million combined potential value), the USACE broadly (30 awards, $383.9 million), and the Department of the Army (9 awards, $234.1 million). The dollar concentration shifts toward the USACE general line (30 awards, $383.9 million potential), reflecting larger delivery orders issued outside district-specific designations. The USACE Buffalo District ($86 million across 5 awards) and Chicago District ($3.8 million across 3 awards) round out the active set. No other federal agency appears in the portfolio.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on heavy civil marine construction: stone revetment construction, breakwater and pier repair, armor stone placement, maintenance dredging, confined disposal facility offloading platform reconstruction, and harbor deepening. Recent representative work includes a $12.75 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded September 2025 for the Grand Haven North Pier Wave Attenuator in Spring Lake, Michigan (demolition and replacement of 224–324 feet of steel sheet pile and timber cribbing with stone revetment and H-pile concrete walkway, due August 28, 2028); a $10.7 million delivery order for Oswego West Breakwater Repair (operations and maintenance, due November 7, 2026); and a $10.9 million delivery order for armor stone and Dunkirk Breakwater Repair in Dunkirk, New York (June 2024, due July 31, 2026). The vendor also holds expertise in maintenance dredging across Milwaukee Harbor, Waukegan Harbor, Lake St. Clair, and St. Joseph Harbor, with individual dredging task orders ranging from $478 thousand to $2.9 million.

Great Lakes Dock And Materials holds positions on two active USACE parent vehicles. The Design Bid Build Marine Construction Lakes Districts IDIQ, a $260 million shared-capacity contract issued February 1, 2023 and extending through January 31, 2028, has issued 14 delivery orders to the vendor totaling $89.6 million in combined potential value for marine construction across Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit Districts. The vendor also participates in the newly awarded Great Lakes Dredging Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), a $180 million government-wide vehicle issued December 30, 2025 through December 29, 2030, which has generated 7 historical delivery orders valued at $8.8 million combined potential. Both vehicles address maintenance dredging, breakwater repair, armor stone placement, and confined disposal facility operations.

Activity has grown from 3 awards in 2022 to a peak of 11 in 2024, declining to 5 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 year-to-date. Seven awards with combined potential value of $43.1 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the vendor and recompete opportunity for competitors. The vendor's combined potential value across all 87 prime awards stands at $948.6 million, with $245.7 million (26%) obligated to date. Great Lakes Dock And Materials has maintained continuous federal registration since September 2006 and operates primarily under Total Small Business and HUBZone set-aside designations; mixed awards also appear under full-and-open competition when the vendor's HUBZone status qualifies it for price evaluation preference.
