Inland Dredging Company, L.L.C.

Inland Dredging Company, L.L.C., doing business as Inland Dredging Co LLC, is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Dyersburg, Tennessee, that operates as a 100% prime contractor providing cutterhead hydraulic pipeline dredging and equipment rental services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across the Gulf Coast and southeastern United States. The vendor competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations and is a subsidiary of parent company Encore Dredging Partners LLC.

Inland Dredging's capability footprint is singular and deep: cutterhead pipeline dredging ranging from 18 to 29 inches in diameter, with full equipment mobilization, pipeline management, and dredging operations. The company furnishes crewed and equipped dredges with attendant plant, materials, supplies, and workforce to perform maintenance dredging, shoal removal, harbor dredging, and navigation channel preservation. Representative work includes a $24.5 million definitive contract with the Army Corps of Engineers for Houston Ship Channel pipeline dredging (awarded September 2021), a $20.6 million definitive contract for Calcasieu River and Pass maintenance dredging in Louisiana (October 2024), a $14.9 million definitive contract for Gulf Intracoastal Waterway pipeline dredging in Texas (May 2024), and a $11.1 million definitive contract for GIWW Freeport to Matagorda Bay dredging in Texas (December 2025). Recent work spans definitive contracts and delivery orders ranging from under $1 million to over $24 million across Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow: the Army Corps of Engineers (across all districts and the parent agency) accounts for 91% of awards by count and 90% of combined potential value at $649.3 million across 94 awards. The Engineering District Mobile alone represents 82 awards and $367.8 million; Engineering District Jacksonville—likely a placeholder or consolidated reporting label—shows 2 awards at $500 million combined potential value; Engineering District Vicksburg accounts for 16 awards at $109.4 million; and Engineering District New Orleans covers 12 awards at $66.3 million. The Department of the Army (excluding Corps of Engineers) contributes 8 awards at $71.8 million. No other federal agency appears materially in the award footprint.

Inland Dredging holds a substantial portfolio of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Corps, which anchor the vendor's federal position. Named IDVs include a $40 million IDIQ for 24-inch cutterhead dredge rental in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida (awarded May 2025, completion July 2026); a $32 million single-award contract for FY24 Harbor Dredging on the Mississippi River and Memphis District harbors (February 2024, January 2027); a $30 million single-award contract for 24-inch cutterhead dredge rental in Mobile District (June 2024, August 2025); a $49.5 million multiple-award "FY 22 Dredge MATOC" (September 2022, September 2027); and a $30 million single-award contract for 24-inch dredge rental in Mobile District (April 2023, June 2024). The top five parent vehicles generated approximately 42 task orders with combined potential value in the hundreds of millions. Task orders under these IDVs range from minimum guarantee awards ($0 ceiling value) to delivery orders exceeding $12 million.

Activity has remained steady: 15 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 1 award year-to-date in 2026. Seven awards with combined potential value of $47.8 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a moderate recompete cliff. The vendor holds 234 total prime awards spanning nearly three decades (first award July 1998) with a combined potential value of $1.88 billion and $767.9 million in obligated dollars (41% realization).

Inland Dredging operates exclusively under NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) across 217 of 234 awards, with PSC concentration in Construction of Dredging Facilities (57 awards), Construction of Dredging (24 awards), and Construction of Canals (20 awards). The vendor is registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and maintains no subcontract footprint—all work is performed as prime contractor. Geographic performance spans the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway system from Texas through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, plus inland river systems including the Houston Ship Channel, Calcasieu River, Mississippi River, Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Black Warrior River, and Alabama River systems. The company's sustained position on large, long-term Army Corps of Engineers IDVs and consistent annual award volume reflect deep operational embeddedness in federal dredging procurement across the southeastern United States.
