AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) aimed at gathering input from industry to improve the format and content of sources sought notices used in procurement, particularly focusing on construction and related services such as dredging, architecture and engineering, environmental services, remediation, and manufacturing. This RFI is purely informational and does not constitute a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. It seeks feedback to help create a standardized, clear, and comprehensive sources sought notice template to be used consistently across USACE districts and centers, enhancing communication and decision-making efficiency for both the government and industry partners. Responses to this RFI will help USACE refine the details included in future sources sought notices, ensuring companies receive the necessary information to respond appropriately. The RFI includes two separate surveys: one capturing a general summary overview of sources sought notices and another focusing on specific project narratives, with attached reference documents to guide respondents. The information collected will enable USACE to streamline its procurement notices, fostering better engagement with industry while not incurring any obligation to reimburse costs for the responses submitted. The RFI was posted on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of May 21, 2026, and is identified under solicitation number USACE-2026-SN-3.

Full Description
1. Introduction
This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. Responses will not be considered proposals, and no award will be made because of this request. The Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding are solely at the interested party's expense, and all submissions become Government property and will not be returned.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is seeking information from industry to help generate a standardized sources sought notice for construction projects. Although our primary focus is currently the construction sector, we are seeking from all service areas, to include dredging, architect and engineering, environmental services, remediation services and manufacturing.
2. Background
USACE, working with our strategic partners, are continuing to seek better ways we can communicate the requirement need when issuing sources sought notices with industry.
3. Purpose
The purpose of this RFI is to gather market research from our industry partners. The feedback received will help USACE ensure future sources sought notices contain the necessary details for companies to make an informed response decision. Ultimately, our goal is to use this input to develop a consistent, well-written, and effectively formatted template for use across all districts and centers, thereby improving efficiency for both government and industry.

There are 2 different surveys:
