Delivery parties
Delivery contractor to be selected through the proposed procurement.
Contract route
Presolicitation W912PM27RA006, published 3 November 2026 at 11:40 EST, plans an unrestricted firm-fixed-price contract. The earlier special notice described proposed two-phase selection; the issued solicitation will establish the controlling competition and response instructions.
Execution window
Solicitation expected on or about 19 November 2026. The notice metadata lists a 19 November 14:00 EST response field; the body states that the bid-opening date will be specified in the solicitation.
Works package
Planned maintenance dredging for Houston Ship Channel, Galveston Harbor and Channel, Texas City Ship Channel, Freeport Harbor Channel, Corpus Christi Ship Channel, Brazos Island Harbor Channel and Matagorda Ship Channel. Placement categories include DMPAs, ODMDS, beneficial-use locations and ocean disposal within Galveston District.
Marine interfaces
Channel selection, survey starting conditions, shoaling, placement availability and plant moves connect the fixed budget to the achievable maintenance programme. The new notice names seven channels; the detailed reach and disposal requirements belong to the solicitation.
Commercial evidence boundary
The presolicitation plans firm fixed price. Its USD 37 million figure is the NAICS size standard. The target contract budget, priced work items, measurement, payment triggers, changes and acceptance requirements require the original procurement documents.
