Virtual Industry Day for FY27 USACE National Dredging Procurement Strategies

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is hosting a virtual industry day to introduce three upcoming FY27 dredging procurement strategies and to gather early feedback from interested contractors. The briefing will cover consolidated “hopper” contracts, a firm‑fixed‑price “Scope Dredge‑to‑Budget” contract, and a small‑business multiple‑award task‑order contract (MATOC). Participants are encouraged to attend, submit questions by the RSVP deadline, and provide input on the proposed acquisition approaches. • Hopper Contracts – consolidated invitation‑for‑bids that group multiple maintenance‑dredge and beach‑renourishment projects into larger contracts; project pairings are outlined in an attachment. • Scope Dredge‑to‑Budget – a $190 million FY27‑28 firm‑fixed‑price contract where award is based on the longest duration of navigable channel maintenance; includes optional beneficial‑use placement. • Small‑Business MATOC – a 5‑year multiple‑award task‑order contract targeting small‑business firms with minimum dredge equipment requirements (≥10‑in. cutter‑head or ≥5‑cu‑yd bucket). Industry participants must RSVP by 10 AM ET on 8 Sept 2026 and can submit any pre‑meeting questions by the same deadline. No mandatory site visits are indicated. The source‑sought response deadline is 8 Sept 2026, after which formal solicitations are expected to be released later in FY27.
