Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) Snows Cut Shoreline Erosion Bank Stabilization

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through the Wilmington Contracting Office in North Carolina, is soliciting bids for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) Snows Cut Shoreline Erosion Bank Stabilization project in New Hanover County. This is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5 with NAICS code 237990, requiring all offerors to self-certify as small businesses. The solicitation, numbered W912PM26BA001, was issued on May 29, 2026, with responses due by July 9, 2026. The scope of work includes mobilization, demobilization, and stabilization of four shoreline reaches along Snows Cut, with contract line items totaling base values of approximately $7.2 million and potential option extensions pushing the maximum value to nearly $19.8 million. Key deliverables include completion of shoreline protection work and submission of performance and payment bonds, with bid security set at 20% of the proposed amount. The project is located entirely within New Hanover County, North Carolina, and all performance, inspection, and acceptance activities are expected to occur at the site or be finalized by the contracting office in Wilmington. The contract structure includes multiple line items covering mobilization, each reach’s stabilization, environmental compliance and monitoring, and bonds, with optional bid items for additional work that could significantly increase the total value. Payment, administration, and oversight responsibilities are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with Jennifer M. Garland designated as the contracting officer. Although the solicitation references compliance with federal standards and includes representations from offerors such as unique entity IDs and acknowledgment of amendments, detailed technical specifications, inspection criteria, quality standards, packaging requirements, evaluation factors, and exact performance timelines are not provided in the available material. The absence of FAR clauses, DFARS provisions, COTR designation, invoicing system details, and accounting codes suggests the full contract document contains additional information not included in the published excerpts. The procurement remains open to small businesses only, and the award method—whether based on lowest price technically acceptable or best value—is not stated. All submissions must be directed to the Wilmington office, with no electronic submission portal specified, indicating a traditional paper or physical document submission process.
