Next Generation Logistics, LLC

Next Generation Logistics, LLC, a New Orleans-based minority-owned, 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business, delivers marine vessel leasing, dredging operations, construction services, and facilities maintenance as a prime contractor exclusively to the federal government, with 100% of recent awards issued at the prime level across set-aside and full-and-open procurements. The company is structured as a limited liability company and holds active SBA 8(a) certification through February 1, 2027.

The vendor's customer concentration sits heavily with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which accounts for 88% of award count across 75 awards valued at $94.8 million combined potential value. Within USACE, the Jacksonville District alone anchors two awards worth $400 million in combined potential value—a single-award indefinite-delivery contract for South Atlantic Division maintenance dredging (awarded June 11, 2025, running through July 16, 2030) and a $20 thousand delivery order. The Vicksburg District places the second-highest volume with 7 awards valued at $51.2 million, followed by the St. Louis District with a $50 million operations and maintenance dredging IDIQ (awarded September 8, 2025, through September 7, 2030). The Federal Emergency Management Agency places 18 awards valued at $28.5 million, concentrated in Hurricane Ida disaster-response work (temporary housing, wastewater treatment, and property management). The Department of the Army (non-USACE) places 9 awards valued at $189.2 million, spanning Navy Installations Command hangar floor repairs, Navy horizontal construction vehicles, and Army general construction work. The vendor holds seats on multiple active indefinite-delivery vehicles: a $45 million multiple-award BPA with the Vicksburg District for marine vessel and equipment leasing (awarded December 8, 2025, through December 7, 2030), a $180 million Great Lakes Dredging MATOC with the Detroit District (awarded December 30, 2025, through December 29, 2030), a $50 million St. Louis District operations and maintenance dredging IDIQ, the $400 million Jacksonville single-award dredging contract, a $5.5 million Navy Installations Command horizontal construction IDIQ (awarded July 9, 2026, through July 9, 2031), and a $4.5 million Vicksburg District single-award general construction vehicle. Past activity shows growth from 15 awards in 2023 to 23 in 2022 and 21 in 2024, followed by 20 awards in 2025 and 6 awards in 2026 year-to-date; five awards with combined potential value of $6.9 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore recompete exposure.

Recent representative work includes a $4 million definitive contract with Navy Installations Command for Phase 2 Hangar 439 floor slab repairs at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans (awarded July 16, 2026, through October 14, 2027, under 8(a) sole source), a $3.78 million definitive contract with the Department of the Army for maintenance dredging of USCG Station Sabine basins in the Sabine-Neches Waterway (awarded October 1, 2025, through January 7, 2026, under 8(a) sole source), a $2.07 million definitive contract with USACE for dredging of Bradford Bay Channel and Finney segment on the Coast of Virginia Federal Navigation Project (awarded April 22, 2024, through November 6, 2024, under total small business set-aside), a $1.87 million definitive contract with the Detroit District for maintenance dredging operations in the Manistique River and Harbor in Michigan (awarded June 26, 2025, through November 8, 2025, under total small business set-aside), and a $5.15 million FEMA definitive contract for temporary housing and wastewater plant services in Houma, Louisiana in support of Hurricane Ida recovery (awarded January 23, 2022, through April 30, 2022, under 8(a) sole source). The vendor's capability footprint centers on maintenance dredging and associated waterway operations, marine vessel leasing and operation (towboats, tugboats, crewboats with pilots), vessel rehabilitation and repair (engine systems, fire systems, heating and cooling systems), construction materials supply and delivery (crushed stone, limestone, riprap), portable toilet and dumpster services, building and infrastructure construction and renovation, and facilities maintenance—with geographic performance spanning the southeastern United States, Great Lakes region, and Atlantic coastal areas.

Next Generation Logistics competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides (sole source and competitive) and total small business set-asides; set-aside designations appear across approximately 75% of recent awards, with the remaining 25% issued under full-and-open or non-set-aside procurements. The vendor operates as a pure prime on its federal work—100% of awards are prime contracts or IDVs with no subcontractor engagement reported. SCI data (Service Contract Inventory reporting above the $150,000 threshold for federal services work) shows $3.7 million in invoiced revenue across 27.8 FTEs in FY2022 only; subsequent fiscal years show zero invoiced SCI activity, indicating the vendor's revenue footprint on this contract vehicle is minimal and likely concentrated in earlier-year work. Across SCI-reportable prime service contracts, the vendor reports zero subcontractor hours share, confirming in-house delivery. Federal government-paid hourly rates on SCI records span a median of $77.84/hr, with 10th percentile labor at $42.65/hr and 90th percentile senior labor through $113.04/hr, positioning the vendor in the mid-tier rate range for construction and marine services labor.

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.
