The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors capable of providing concrete testing services under a potential Blanket Purchase Agreement. The scope encompasses field and laboratory testing for navigation locks, dams, and flood-damage reduction reservoirs located across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, with services including temperature, air, slump, washout, cylinder casting, and compression strength testing, as well as mix design certification. The district is evaluating whether to establish one regional BPA or two separate agreements covering northern and southern areas, and respondents must indicate their ability to serve the entire district or one of the proposed subregions. Contractors are expected to furnish all necessary labor, equipment, and materials and comply with federal, state, and local regulations and commercial standards, implicitly including ASTM and ACI specifications. The notice is not a solicitation, and no contracts or reimbursements will result from responses; it is solely for acquisition planning. Interested firms must submit a detailed capability statement and valid, dated certification for any applicable small business socioeconomic categories—such as SB, 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, EDWOSB, or SDVOSB—via email to the designated contracting officials by 10:00 AM ET on May 7, 2026. Failure to provide full documentation will result in disqualification. Periods of performance for individual task orders, known as Calls, will be negotiated separately after the BPA is established, and no pricing, contract value, or specific contract clauses are included at this pre-solicitation stage.
