The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District (MVK), plans to consolidate the procurement for constructing four grade control structures in Tate County, Mississippi, for the Mississippi Delta Headwaters Project. This consolidation, exceeding $2 million, is justified and necessary due to substantial benefits in cost savings, reduced acquisition time, and enhanced mission success. The project involves a Firm-Fixed-Price standalone contract, with an estimated value between $1 million and $5 million and a 105-calendar-day completion time. Market research supports this approach, which will be competed under FAR Part 14 as a Women-Owned Small Business Set-Aside, utilizing NAICS code 237990. Consolidation allows for efficient coordination, lower unit costs through economies of scale, and better scheduling, accommodating critical river stage and funding windows. The decision aligns with FAR 7.107-2 and Army acquisition regulations, ensuring small business participation while streamlining project administration and achieving the agency's mission of maintaining navigable Federal waterways.
