Rigid Constructors LLC

Rigid Constructors LLC, a Hispanic American-owned small disadvantaged business based in Maurice, Louisiana, delivers heavy civil and coastal engineering construction services to the Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside vehicle posture. The company operates as a for-profit limited liability company and has captured $207 million in combined potential value across fourteen prime definitive contracts since 2019, obligating $201.1 million (97% of potential value) to date.

Rigid Constructors specializes in navigation channel dredging, jetty repairs, confined disposal facility construction, flood control infrastructure, and levee enlargement work along the Gulf Coast and inland waterways. Representative recent work includes a $24.6 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Department of the Army on January 15, 2026, for Phase 3.2 construction of the Bayou Meto Canal 1000 irrigation system in Scott, Arkansas—comprising 14,665 linear feet of irrigation canal, eight farm offtakes, five siphon structures, and associated grading and drainage, with ultimate completion March 16, 2028. A $27.6 million contract from the Army Corps of Engineers New Orleans District (May 8, 2025) covers the Comite River Diversion Project in East Baton Rouge Parish, encompassing clearing, a new diversion channel, a pump station, bridge demolition and replacement, pile installation, asphalt paving, riprap protection, and utility relocations. A $33.7 million Cedar Bayou Navigation Channel pipeline dredging contract from the Army Corps of Engineers (July 19, 2021) involved fill placement, dike raising, berm and ditch construction, and articulating concrete block installation across sections 1–5 in Anahuac, Texas.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Army Corps of Engineers and its subordinate district offices—the Engineering District New Orleans in particular—account for 100% of the fourteen awards in the source portfolio. The top two customer entities (Corps of Engineers at $107.7 million and Engineering District New Orleans at $73.4 million) together represent $181.1 million of the $207 million combined potential value; the Department of the Army proper and the Department of Agriculture NRCS Southeast Region round out the customer set with $24.6 million and $1.4 million respectively. Rigid Constructors has no parent vehicle position, operating under direct contract awards from district and command-level Corps procurements rather than standing on GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide blanket purchase agreements. Two awards (combined potential value $52.2 million) face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete opportunity for competitors. The company maintains no subcontract footprint in the source data, competing and performing entirely as a prime contractor. Activity peaked in 2021 with six awards; since then the award cadence has declined sharply to one or two awards per year.
