The Army Corps of Engineers' Marine Design Center wants one engineering firm for a single IDIQ contract (a contract with open-ended orders over time) covering vessel design and analysis for inland and coastal vessels. It is a small business set-aside with a total capacity of $20,000,000 over a five-year ordering period. Firms are picked on qualifications, and the solicitation is accessed through PIEE.
Watch out for
- Specialized marine engineering expertise. This is naval architecture work for the Army's national center of expertise, so you will likely need proven vessel design experience to be competitive.
The Marine Design Center (MDC) is the Army Corps of Engineers National Center of Expertise for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.
- Small guaranteed minimum. Only $10,000 is guaranteed; the rest of the $20,000,000 depends on task orders actually being issued.
The guaranteed minimum for the contract term is $10,000
