Midwest Construction Co

Midwest Construction Co, operating through its Midwest Construction Company Division, is a women-owned small business (WOSB) based in Nebraska City, Nebraska, that provides river infrastructure construction, stone supply and delivery, bank stabilization, and navigation structure maintenance to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor. The company competes overwhelmingly in the prime space (100% of awards in the source) and holds WOSB designation recurrently across its portfolio, though it also wins full-and-open and total-small-business-set-aside delivery orders.

The customer concentration is decisive and narrow. The top three customer agencies—the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (117 awards, $534.1 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army (110 awards, $5.5 million), and the Army Corps Engineering District Memphis (31 awards, $65.3 million)—account for 85% of recent awards and 99% of combined potential value. USACE dominates the dollar picture; the Corps represents the overwhelming majority of Midwest Construction's federal revenue stream. The company executes task orders across the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Arkansas Rivers, with geographic performance spread from Memphis, Tennessee; Kansas City, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; and Chicago, Illinois to the Great Lakes harbors at Milwaukee and Calumet.

Midwest Construction holds five large indefinite delivery contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers that anchor its operational posture. The largest is a $99.5 million multiple-award contract for Missouri River bank stabilization and navigation program services (17 task orders issued, $28.9 million combined potential value). An $87.38 million single-award IDC for river repairs and upper bank paving along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers (awarded October 2024, ultimate completion October 2028) carries $3.62 million in awarded work. A $49 million multiple-award contract for Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project maintenance between Rulo, Nebraska and Lower Ponca Bend (awarded August 2025) was recently established. A $44.998 million single-award contract for FY22 river repairs and upper bank paving (13 task orders, $45 million combined potential value) runs through May 2026. A $17 million single-award stone supply contract for Lake Michigan harbors (awarded April 2024) through April 2027 supports delivery orders to Milwaukee and Calumet Harbors. These vehicles enable rapid task order issuance for civil works maintenance across the Corps' waterway system.

Recent concrete work includes a $7.338 million WOSB set-aside definitive contract for the NESP Starved Rock Breakwater project in Oglesby, Illinois (stone placement and surveying along the Illinois River); a $3.62 million WOSB set-aside delivery order for Sycamore Chute and Wickliffe river repairs in Memphis, Tennessee; a $3.216 million total-small-business-set-aside delivery order from ENDIST Chicago for stone supply to Calumet and Milwaukee Harbors (March 2025); a $2.782 million delivery order from DLA Chicago for stone supply to Milwaukee and Calumet Harbors (April 2026); and a $421,500 purchase order from USACE Chicago for armor stone delivery to Manistee, Michigan (March 2026).

Activity has been uneven in recent years—six awards in 2022, fifteen in 2023, eight in 2024, and nine in 2025—with two awards recorded to date in 2026. Eight awards (combined potential value $48.4 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. The company's portfolio spans 323 prime awards since 1980 with combined potential value of $678.7 million, of which $346.7 million has been obligated. Primary NAICS coding is 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with secondary categories including stone product manufacturing and mining. Midwest Construction operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, positioning itself as a direct service provider to USACE rather than a supplier to other federal prime contractors.
