The Department of Defense, through the Army Corps of Engineers, is seeking contractors for the provision of a fully crewed and equipped cutterhead dredge for the Atchafalaya Basin and Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) project. The procurement involves furnishing a dredge with a discharge size of 30 inches or greater, along with all necessary equipment and crew, to perform dredging work primarily in the Mississippi River and potentially other areas within the New Orleans District. This project is significant for maintaining navigability and managing sediment in critical waterways, with an estimated construction value between $10 million and $25 million. Interested vendors should prepare for the solicitation, expected to be issued around July 25, 2025, and must register with the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for contract awards.
