Geotechnical Services assigned to the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division W9123727GEO1
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 07, 2026Geotechnical engineering support is being sought on an Architect-Engineer IDIQ basis for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, with primary work through the Huntington District and potential involvement across several districts. Firms must demonstrate the capability to perform a wide range of geotechnical activities—from initial investigations (reconnaissance, feasibility, preconstruction engineering and design, and construction support) to regional/site reconnaissance, surface investigations (mapping, remote sensing, and surface geophysics), and subsurface drilling and testing (various borehole methods, sampling, and testing). Requirements also include geotechnical reporting, laboratory testing, instrumentation design and data collection, and specialized services such as seepage analysis, stability assessments for gravity dams and associated structures, seismic and rock-mechanics studies, geologic/geomorphological characterization, and use of software tools like OpenGround, cloud geotechnical databases, Autodesk Civil3D, and Geostudio. Work may support flood-control projects, power facilities at locks and dams, and related undertakings.
This is a sources-sought to determine capability and suitability for potential future solicitation. Submissions must be limited to 15 pages and should show the firm’s qualifications, personnel with registered professional capabilities, relevant project examples from the past five years, and SBA certifications, plus the ability to perform roughly $2.5 million of work in one year. Responses must be provided electronically to the designated points of contact by the stated deadline; no solicitation documents or technical scopes are available at this time. The information gathered will inform acquisition decisions and source selections.
