Beneficial Use of Dredged Material – Beach Placement

The contract is for the beneficial use of dredged material specifically for beach nourishment and coastal restoration efforts centered in Galveston, with funding partially supported by non-federal sponsors to cover costs exceeding standard disposal practices. This subcontract, classified under NAICS code 238990, emphasizes the placement of dredged sediments in a manner that restores and enhances coastal environments rather than disposing of material in conventional offshore or confined disposal sites. The work is part of a broader effort by the Department of Defense through the W076 Endist Galveston office to leverage dredging activities for environmental benefit, ensuring that material removed from navigation channels contributes directly to shoreline resilience and habitat preservation. Performance is exclusively tied to the Galveston area, and the solicitation, posted on July 7, 2026, requires proposals to be submitted by July 28, 2026. The contract structure requires bidders to demonstrate technical capability in executing beach placement projects while accounting for the financial contribution from non-federal partners who bear incremental expenses beyond federally funded standard disposal. The absence of set-aside information and detailed point of contact suggests the process is intended for established contractors familiar with federal dredging and environmental restoration protocols, with an emphasis on logistical precision, environmental compliance, and cost transparency for the shared-funding model.
