Rudee Inlet Maintenance Dredging

The Department of the Army, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Norfolk District, has issued solicitation W9123626BA017 for maintenance dredging services at the Rudee Inlet Federal Navigation Channel in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This project involves the removal of approximately 220,000 cubic yards of sandy material from various project areas, including the Rudee Entrance Channel, Sand Trap, Entrance Channel Transition Area, North Jetty Area, South Jetty Area, and Outer Deposition Basin. The dredged material will be hydraulically pumped and placed on approved beach areas at Resort Beach and, potentially, Croatan Beach. The selected contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and supervision required for dredging, beach placement, grading, and environmental protection measures in an open-ocean environment characterized by high recreational vessel traffic.

The opportunity is classified under NAICS 237990 for Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and PSC Z1KF for Maintenance of Dredging Facilities. Responses to this solicitation are due by July 6, 2026. Performance requirements include managing site-specific constraints, such as the unavailability of Lake Wesley for staging or safe harbor. The official notice was published on June 4, 2026, and includes one PDF attachment containing further project details. George Jackson serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement.
