Luhr Crosby, LLC

Luhr Crosby, LLC, a for-profit construction and engineering firm headquartered in Columbia, Illinois, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers waterway infrastructure projects, competing in the open market without set-aside protection. The company specializes in dredging, stone placement, dike and revetment construction and repair, and river structure maintenance across the Mississippi, Ohio, Illinois, Atchafalaya, and Cumberland Rivers in the Midwest and Gulf Coast regions.

Luhr Crosby's customer base is entirely concentrated within USACE; the four distinct customer agencies listed in the portfolio are all USACE organizational units. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (14 awards, $414.9 million combined potential value) anchors the portfolio by award count and dollar magnitude, with regional engineering districts in Louisville (4 awards, $141.7 million), New Orleans (9 awards, $64.8 million), and Vicksburg (4 awards, $56.3 million) rounding out the active set. The rankings by award count and potential value track closely—no divergence signals shifting demand patterns between order frequency and deal size.

Luhr Crosby holds five substantial single-award indefinite delivery contracts with USACE, generating most task-order activity. The company's primary vehicle is a $150 million Mississippi River stone placement IDC (awarded May 2024, running through May 2029) covering dikes, chevrons, bendway weirs, and bank paving along the Mississippi, Illinois, Ohio, and Atchafalaya Rivers. Three additional large-value IDCs anchor the portfolio: a $99.5 million single-award contract (awarded September 2023, through August 2028) for construction and maintenance of river structures on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers; a $75 million single-award regional dredging IDC (awarded January 2024, through December 2026) covering the Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Cumberland Rivers; and a $30 million single-award contract (awarded June 2025, through March 2027) for stone repairs to revetments and dikes on a 290-mile Mississippi River stretch. A fifth IDC valued at $44 million (awarded July 2022, completed June 2024) covered flood control and stone placement along the Mississippi, Atchafalaya, Red, and Old River control channels. Representative task orders include a $33.65 million definitive contract for the Togo Island Bendway Weirs channel improvement project on the Mississippi River at River Mile 414.5 (awarded September 2024, completion September 2028); a $21.1 million definitive contract for Calcasieu Stone Foreshore Confined Disposal Facilities 7, 10, and 11 in Louisiana (awarded September 2024, completion December 2025); a $12.5 million definitive contract for Cedar Point Dikes construction and maintenance in Tennessee involving approximately 320,000 tons of stone (awarded October 2023, completion July 2026); and a $10.2 million delivery order for Ohio River dredging under Louisville District's regional dredging contract (awarded March 2026, completion November 2026).

Activity peaked in 2023 with eleven awards, declined to eight in 2024 and six in 2025, and has slowed to two awards year-to-date in 2026. Six awards carrying $55.1 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. Luhr Crosby operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The portfolio concentrates entirely on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and PSC codes for construction of non-building facilities (20 awards), dredging facility lease/rental (4 awards), and canal construction (4 awards), reflecting the vendor's singular focus on federal waterway infrastructure for USACE.
