Roen Salvage CO.

Roen Salvage Co., headquartered in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, provides mechanical dredging and breakwater/pier repair services to the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under small business set-asides (HUBZone and total small business designations) on definitive contracts and delivery orders for Great Lakes navigation infrastructure. The vendor is a for-profit corporation with over two decades of registered System for Award Management status and a federal prime contract portfolio exceeding $100 million in recent value.

The vendor's concrete capability portfolio centers on maintenance dredging operations, breakwater stabilization and repairs, armor stone placement, sheet pile encapsulation, grouting and drilling work, and confined disposal facility management across the Great Lakes region. Representative recent work includes a $12.93 million total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded October 10, 2025, by the Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District for Algoma North Breakwater Repairs (partial demolition, steel sheet pile encapsulation, reinforced concrete top slab construction); a $5.127 million total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded March 20, 2026, by the Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District (ENDIST Chicago) for Indiana Harbor dredging at the Indiana Harbor Canal; and a $3.99 million definitive contract awarded March 25, 2026, by the Department of the Army for FY26 Duluth-Superior harbor maintenance dredging under full and open competition (no set-aside). Work is performed at named locations across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Indiana, including Duluth-Superior Federal Navigation Channel, Chicago Harbor, Sturgeon Bay, Port Washington, Green Bay Harbor, Algoma, Manitowoc, and Michigan City.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Army and its subordinate Army Corps of Engineers entities account for 89% of awards by count and 100% of combined potential value. Within that umbrella, the Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District and Chicago District (ENDIST Chicago) drive the largest share of recent task orders and definitive contracts. Roen Salvage Co. has executed over 240 federal prime awards since 1979, with combined potential value of $840.9 million and combined dollars obligated of $238.9 million (28% of potential). Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years (seven awards in 2022, declining to three in 2026 year-to-date), with six awards (combined potential value $44.3 million) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and exposed to recompete.

The vendor holds two primary indefinite delivery vehicles: the Great Lakes Dredging Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), a $180 million small business set-aside IDV awarded December 30, 2025, through December 29, 2030, for maintenance dredging, dredged material placement, and associated construction across the Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit Districts (with individual task order caps at $6 million); and a $260 million unrestricted Multiple Award Task Order Contract for Design-Bid-Build Marine Construction within the same three districts, running through January 2028. The vendor also places task orders under several district-level indefinite delivery contracts (DACW3585C0041, DACW3586C0026, DACW3586C0059, DACW3588C0005), each carrying six to eight task orders. Roen Salvage Co. operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data; the vendor subcontracts to third parties rather than receiving sub awards. Work is classified predominantly under NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, $37 million small business size standard) and PSC Y1KF (Construction of Dredging Facilities) and related construction codes.
