About the company
Norfolk Dredging Company, a for-profit maritime dredging and coastal engineering contractor based in Chesapeake, Virginia, operates exclusively as a prime contractor to the Department of the Army and Navy on federal dredging and harbor maintenance projects across the East Coast and Gulf Coast, competing full-and-open with no set-asides across its entire portfolio. The vendor's sustained annual federal spending historically ranges between $100 million and $150 million, with a combined potential value of $2.7 billion and $2.08 billion obligated across 399 prime awards since 1980.
Norfolk Dredging's customer base concentrates heavily within Army Corps of Engineers district operations. The top five customer entities by combined potential value account for 80% of the portfolio, led by the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Jacksonville ($1.14 billion across 18 awards), Engineering District Philadelphia ($492.5 million across 53 awards), and Engineering District Norfolk ($184.8 million across 16 awards). The Department of the Navy represents a secondary customer with 31 awards. Work is classified almost entirely under NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with the top PSC codes tracking maintenance dredging, harbor deepening, and shore protection facility work.
Concrete representative work includes a $87.7 million firm-fixed-price contract awarded August 2022 by Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District for Norfolk Harbor 55-foot deepening of inner channels, dredging approximately 10 million cubic yards to placement at Craney Island Dredged Material Management Area; a $48.3 million contract awarded June 2024 by Army Corps of Engineers New York District for Fire Island Inlet maintenance dredging and Gilgo Beach nourishment of 700,000 to 1 million cubic yards within a 97-day completion window; and a $45.7 million firm-fixed-price award from Army Corps of Engineers Mobile for Mobile Harbor maintenance dredging with performance extending through April 2027. Recent 2026 activity includes a $15.76 million beach nourishment project at Townsends Inlet to Cape May, New Jersey, and a $26.9 million Craney Island Eastward Expansion Phase 1C dredging contract in Hampton Roads.
Norfolk Dredging subcontracts to no prime contractors — the entire portfolio reflects primary award relationships. The vendor operates under five active Army Corps of Engineers indefinite delivery contracts (DACW1782C0048, DACW6186C0014, DACW6185C0069, DACW1786C0024, DACW6186C0053), with 7, 7, 6, 5, and 4 task orders respectively. Activity has remained consistent at three to seven awards per year over the past five years. Three awards with combined potential value of $88.4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. The vendor maintains specialized equipment and capabilities in hydraulic and mechanical clamshell dredging, cutterhead pipeline dredging, ocean-certified scow operations, and offshore dredged material disposal site management, reflecting its focus on large-scale federal navigation channel and coastal storm risk management projects.
