Opportunity description

Stored from SAM.gov public data

The purpose of this Sources Sought is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities, and qualifications of firms that possess the expertise to successfully complete and perform the requirements described herein. Furthermore, this effort seeks to address any questions, recommendations, or concerns from Industry. The information gathered will assist the Government in ensuring there is adequate competition among a potential pool of responsible contractors. Prior Government contract work is not required for submitting a response under this announcement. Please refer to the attached Sources Sought documentation for the updated details of this action. The Capabilities Statement requested for this Sources Sought is not intended to be a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does it restrict the Government to an ultimate acquisition approach. It is intended to request statements that thoroughly demonstrate interested companies existing expertise and experience (or developed plans for such) in relation to the areas specified herein. Any commercial brochures or currently existing marketing material may be submitted alongside the Capabilities Statement. Submission of a Capabilities statement is not a prerequisite to any potential future offerings, but participation will assist the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in tailoring requirements to be consistent with industry capabilities. This announcement is for information and planning purposes only and is neither to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. All interested contractors should submit responses via email by 1000 hours Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on 22 Sep 2026. Submit responses and information to Elena.N.Shapovalova@usace.army.mil and Eric.L.Caruso@usace.army.mil. No hard copies will be accepted.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS

What deserves attention before you spend bid time

Decision support

These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.

Market-research stage

This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.

Very short response window

The stored deadline is within three days. Check earlier question, site-visit and attachment requirements immediately; the final response date may not be the first deadline that matters.

No socioeconomic restriction recorded

The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.

Classification signal

NAICS 333923 · PSC 3950 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.

Notice history exists

GovBidFit stores 2 notices tied to this solicitation. Review the notice chain and official SAM.gov history because later postings can change dates, scope or instructions.

Official description available

GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.

Public buyer contact available

The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

Questions to resolve next

Has SAM.gov posted an amendment or changed the response date, attachments or submission instructions since this GovBidFit snapshot was refreshed?Does the notice request a capability statement, technical response, questions, pricing input, or another specific market-research response?Are there question deadlines, site visits, registrations or internal approvals that occur before the final response date?Can the business perform in Virginia at a sustainable cost after travel, mobilization, staffing, licensing and subcontractor requirements are considered?Which related notice or amendment currently controls the response instructions?

What this opportunity record tells you

SAM.gov identifies this as a sources sought from DEPT OF DEFENSE. The record was posted on August 24, 2026 and currently lists September 22, 2026 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.

The listed product or service classification is NAICS 333923 · PSC 3950. The set-aside field is Unrestricted. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.

Before deciding to bid

Read the complete official description and scope. Verify the exact response date, time and time zone on SAM.gov. Confirm NAICS/PSC and every set-aside eligibility requirement. Review attachments, amendments, Q&A and submission instructions. Check place of performance, staffing, insurance, bonding and execution requirements.
Source and trust

GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
