What the buyer is trying to do
Identify qualified sources capable of providing all services necessary to execute a turn-key maintenance dredging project at the USCG Sector Delaware Bay boat basin (Philadelphia, PA), so USACE Philadelphia District can determine an appropriate procurement strategy prior to a potential solicitation.
Who should pursue this
- Marine/heavy civil contractors with demonstrated maintenance dredging experience (turn-key delivery)
- Dredging firms that can self-perform key dredging operations and manage the full project (as a single accountable prime)
- Firms already registered/able to provide CAGE Code and NAICS 237990 business size status information in a compliant sources-sought package
Work breakdown
- Turn-key maintenance dredging services for a boat basin at USCG Sector Delaware Bay (Philadelphia, PA)
- Provide all services necessary to execute the maintenance dredging project (as stated in the notice)
- Electronic, unclassified coordination and submission requirements for market research response (not performance scope)
Response package checklist
- 5-page maximum response body (cover page excluded)
- Cover page including: company name, address, CAGE Code, business size status for NAICS 237990, and points of contact (names, email, telephone)
- Specific, project-relevant details demonstrating ability to provide the required products/services for turn-key maintenance dredging at the USCG Sector Delaware Bay boat basin
- Email submission (electronic, unclassified) to Brandon.R.Mormello@usace.army.mil
- Email subject line exactly: "Sources Sought: DREDGE BOAT BASIN AT USCG SECTOR DELAWARE BAY."
- Submit no later than 01:00 PM EST on 02/19/2026
More BidPulsar strategy notesCompliance, pricing, teaming, risks, questions, and coverage notes
Compliance notes
- Notice type is Sources Sought (market research only); do not treat as an RFP and do not submit a priced/unsolicited proposal
- Phone calls will NOT be accepted; submit only via electronic unclassified email
- Do not mark the submission with proprietary legends if you expect it to be protected—USACE states it will not release information marked with a proprietary legend outside the Government without written permission, but all submissions become Government property and will not be returned
- Stay within the five (5) page limit for the response body; cover page does not count
Pricing strategy
- No pricing is requested in the Sources Sought; focus on capability, capacity, and turn-key execution approach rather than rates or detailed cost build-ups
- If addressing cost at all, keep it high-level (e.g., typical contracting approach) and framed as inputs to procurement strategy—not an offer
Teaming and subs
- If you lack full turn-key breadth, consider teaming to cover end-to-end dredging execution while keeping a single accountable prime (e.g., prime dredging operator with specialized marine support subcontractors)
- Use the limited page count to clearly delineate prime vs. subcontractor roles and who performs the core dredging work
Risks and watchouts
- Very short response window (posted 2026-02-13; due 2026-02-19 at 01:00 PM EST) increases the risk of noncompliant or rushed submissions
- Scope specifics (volumes, disposal method/site, environmental constraints, access restrictions at a USCG facility) are not provided in the notice; overcommitting in the sources-sought narrative could create credibility risk later
- USACE will not accept phone calls; all clarification must be managed via the written response (or email if allowed later)
- Information control: submissions become Government property; be deliberate about what technical/process detail you disclose within a market research response
Smart questions to ask
- Will USACE provide anticipated dredge quantities, required dredge depth, and allowable tolerances for the boat basin?
- What is the intended dredged material management approach (beneficial use, upland placement, confined disposal, open-water disposal), and are there identified placement sites?
- Are there known access/security constraints specific to USCG Sector Delaware Bay that could affect marine operations and scheduling?
- Is USACE considering a small business set-aside (NAICS 237990) or full and open, and what factors will drive that decision?
- Are there anticipated environmental windows, permitting requirements, or sediment testing requirements associated with this maintenance dredging effort?
- What contract type is USACE leaning toward for this turn-key maintenance dredging requirement (e.g., fixed-price vs. other), and what acquisition timeline is envisioned after market research?
Source coverage notes
Some notices publish limited source detail. Confirm these points before final bid/no-bid decisions.
- Dredging quantities/estimated volume, target depths, and performance tolerances
- Sediment characterization/testing requirements and any contamination considerations
- Dredged material placement/disposal requirements and identified disposal site(s)
- Period of performance/schedule constraints and any environmental work windows
- Site conditions and access constraints at USCG Sector Delaware Bay (security, navigation, berthing)
- Any specific equipment requirements (dredge type, pipeline/cutterhead/clamshell) and operational constraints
- Permitting/NEPA/status of required environmental approvals
- Evaluation factors/what USACE wants beyond general capability (e.g., past performance format, bonding, EMR)
