Small Business Set-Aside Participation (Subcontracting Opportunities)

Small businesses have a significant opportunity to participate in dredging, surveying, logistics, and environmental services through a federal subcontracting initiative tied to a Department of Defense contract. The prime contractor is required to perform at least 85 percent of the work either directly or by subcontracting to similarly situated small businesses, creating a robust pipeline of work for eligible firms. This set-aside requirement ensures that small businesses are meaningfully engaged in the project and not merely sidelined as subcontractors for minor tasks. The work is centered at Sabine Pass and falls under NAICS code 237990, which covers other heavy and civil engineering construction, indicating a broad scope of infrastructure-related activities. Interested small businesses must respond by the deadline of July 16, 2026, to secure a role in this high-value opportunity under the W076 Endist Galveston office.
