Submission & Evaluation
This solicitation (W9127N26BA012) was issued as an Invitation for Bids (IFB). Sealed bids were due by May 28, 2026, at 01:00 PM local time, with electronic submission required. Bids were opened on the same day. Award was to be based on price and price-related factors. A bid guarantee, performance, and payment bonds were required.
Eligibility / Set-Aside
This was a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Market research indicated that consolidation of the two dredging projects was justified and that there was a reasonable expectation of receiving at least two bids from capable small businesses.
Additional Notes
The consolidation of the Garibaldi and Depoe Bay dredging requirements was justified due to significant estimated cost savings (55.21% of total contract value) and improved project execution. The acquisition did not meet the definition of "bundling" as it was suitable for award to a small business. The project also required adherence to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 (Self) for information systems processing Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
