Coastwide Beach and Dune Ecosystem Restoration, Hancock County, MS

The contract involves a total small business set-aside project for shoreline ecosystem restoration along approximately five miles of the mainland coast in Hancock County, Mississippi. The work consists of constructing a 150-foot-wide beach berm intended to enhance habitat, increase coastal resilience, and reduce storm-related impacts. This berm will connect either to the elevation of the adjacent sidewalk along the existing seawall or the surrounding ground, whichever is lower, and will extend about 150 feet seaward. Approximately 300,000 cubic yards of sand will be sourced from an upland location, transported by truck, and placed within the project area. The project is expected to fall under NAICS code 237990 with an estimated cost ranging from $25 million to $100 million. Solicitation documents will be available around February 23, 2026, exclusively through the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) website, with mandatory registration on SAM.gov for all contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format, and critical path method scheduling is not required. The project does not require subcontracting plans, and the definition of small business here is for those with average annual receipts under $45 million over the past three or five years. Site visit information and the request for information (RFI) process will be managed through specified online platforms. The contract specialist and other key contacts are available for communication, and no hard copy solicitation materials or telephonic requests will be accepted.
