Next Generation Logistics, LLC

Next Generation Logistics, LLC, a New Orleans-based 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business and minority-owned firm, operates as a prime contractor delivering dredging, marine vessel services, construction, equipment rental, transportation, and facilities maintenance to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal disaster-response agencies. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) sole-source and total small business set-asides, reflecting its SBA certification and posture as a small disadvantaged business across the federal portfolio.

Next Generation Logistics' capability footprint centers on maritime operations and waterway maintenance. The company supplies maintenance dredging across multiple geographic regions—including Great Lakes, Mississippi River system, Atlantic coastal waterways, and inland channels—with recent contract work including $1.87 million in hydraulic dredging for the Manistique River and Harbor in Michigan, $6.2 million for back-sound dredging in North Carolina, and $2.34 million for federal navigation project dredging in Virginia. Beyond dredging, the vendor operates and leases towboats, tugboats, and crewboats with pilot services—exemplified by a $3.69 million FY24 towboat service contract and a $1.27 million 180-day 1,000 HP towboat lease—and performs vessel rehabilitation including engine room overhauls, steering system upgrades, and fire suppression system installations. The portfolio also spans construction (building renovation, paving, restroom facilities), facilities maintenance (portable toilets, wash stations, dumpster services), and disaster-response infrastructure including wastewater treatment plant construction and maintenance for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hurricane Ida relief operations.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army Corps of Engineers programs. The top five funding entities account for 90% of awards by count: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (80 awards, $152.6 million combined potential value), Department of the Army (6 awards, $185.8 million), FEMA (18 awards, $28.5 million), and the Army Corps of Engineers' Jacksonville and Vicksburg districts. By potential value, concentration shifts dramatically—the Jacksonville District's single $400 million indefinite delivery contract for South Atlantic Division maintenance dredging anchors 48% of all combined potential value across the portfolio, while the Army Corps of Engineers broadly accounts for the majority of remaining dollars. The two customer rankings diverge sharply, indicating that Next Generation Logistics holds many small-to-mid-sized task orders across multiple USACE districts alongside a small number of mega-vehicle IDIQs.

Next Generation Logistics sits on multiple parent vehicles spanning dredging MATOCs and general-purpose BPAs with the Army Corps of Engineers. Recent vehicle wins include a $180 million Great Lakes Dredging MATOC (multiple award, 2025–2030) with the Detroit District covering three district boundaries; a $400 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with Jacksonville District for South Atlantic Division maintenance dredging (2025–2030); a $50 million multiple-award MATOC IDIQ with the St. Louis District for operations and maintenance dredging across Illinois and Missouri waterways (2025–2030); a $45 million multiple-award BPA with the Vicksburg District for marine vessel and equipment leasing (2025–2030); a $45 million multiple-award BPA (Aggregate BPA) covering construction, equipment rental, transportation, logistics, and facilities maintenance; a $350,000 single-award BPA for portable toilets, wash stations, and dumpsters (2024–2029); and a $4.5 million single-award IDC for general construction (2024–2029). A $10.73 million FEMA blanket purchase agreement for property management supporting Hurricane Ida disaster relief (expired January 2024) previously anchored disaster-response work.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years—averaging 16 awards annually from 2022 through 2025—with 2024 reaching 21 awards and 2025 recording 20. Three awards have closed in the first months of 2026. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $3.3 million in combined potential value and representing minimal recompete exposure relative to the portfolio's size. The $836.1 million combined potential value is heavily backloaded into the multi-year IDCs and MATOCs; obligated dollars to date stand at $80.9 million (10% of potential value), indicating that the majority of these vehicle ceilings remain available for task order execution through 2030.

Next Generation Logistics operates as a pure prime contractor on all recorded awards; the portfolio carries zero sub-awards. SCI reporting shows $3.7 million in invoiced federal service-contract revenue across FY2022–FY2024, with 27.8 FTEs reported in FY2022 and no subsequent FTE trajectory in SCI records. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable service contracts ranged from approximately $43/hr at the 10th percentile to $113/hr at the 90th percentile, with a median around $78/hr. The company does not report named subcontractors across SCI records, indicating a self-perform model on service contracts captured in that dataset. However, the broader award portfolio encompassing equipment rental, construction, and dredging is dominated by goods and definitive construction contracts outside the SCI reporting threshold, so the SCI footprint represents only a small window into the vendor's federal revenue engine.

Next Generation Logistics began by delivering a wide array of solutions and services in the maritime industry. The firm has expanded its focus in the areas of Heavy Civil Construction, Construction Management, Facility Support Services, Design Build, and Emergency Management. Next Gen is an 8(a) certified firm that operates as a fully insured and bonded, self-performing contractor owning contracts with multiple Federal, State, and Local agencies.
