Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, Los Angeles District (USACE), is soliciting proposals for Oceanside Harbor Maintenance Dredging in San Diego County, California. This is an Unrestricted acquisition allowing for Full and Open Competition, with a HUBZone Price Evaluation Preference applied.

Proposals are due February 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
This project consists of annual maintenance dredging of Oceanside Harbor, which supports both commercial fishing and recreational vessels, as well as military operations at Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Pendleton. Construction services will focus on federal navigation channels, including the Entrance Channel, Del Mar Channel, and Oceanside Channel. Dredged quantities average approximately 250,000 cubic yards of material annually. Authorized channel depths range from 20 feet below MLLW to 25-30 feet below MLLW in the entrance channel for advanced maintenance.
