James River Dredging Industry Day-Post Event DocsThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Norfolk District, is preparing to award a Total Small Business Set-Aside Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for maintenance dredging work along the James River, with a seed project scheduled for the Richmond Deepwater Terminal. The solicitation, numbered W9123626Z1AUOc and posted on November 20, 2025, invites small business contractors under NAICS code 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) to compete for this opportunity. A Virtual Industry Day was held on November 18, 2025, to present the scope and answer contractor questions, with 16 participants attending. The scope involves preparatory earthwork, including excavation of spillboxes, site preparation for dredged material placement, and the actual dredging and plugging of outfalls, supporting navigation channel maintenance and infrastructure readiness. Key contract administration will be handled by USACE Norfolk District in Virginia, with Contract Specialist Susan Ellis and Contracting Officer Tiffany Kirtsey identified as primary points of contact. While detailed contract clauses, pricing, evaluation factors, and formal submission instructions are not included in the shared documentation, the general structure confirms the IDIQ format allowing multiple task orders, starting with a seed project focused on earthwork and dredging. No specific packaging, inspection locations, or acceptance criteria were delineated, but the place of performance is within Virginia along the James River. The solicitation deadline for proposal submission is November 24, 2026. The procurement is conducted under FAR 19.5, reinforcing the small business set-aside, but no advanced socioeconomic certifications or key personnel clauses are detailed. The materials provided largely reflect preliminary outreach and engagement rather than a finalized contract package, and interested bidders are encouraged to communicate directly with the USACE contacts for further detailed solicitation documents and clarifications.
