- INDUSTRY DAY NOTIFICATION (Virtual Presentation 1000 - 1100 CDT � Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026 � MSTEAMS) Industry Day Web meeting for Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composite Structures at Black Warrior-Tombigbee River Holt Lock Filling and Emptying Valve Bulkhead and Okatibbee Dam Culvert Intake Bulkhead FRP Fabrication Notice NAICS Code: 326199 - All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing Description The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Mobile District, will be conducting a virtual Industry Day to inform prospective fabricators and manufacturers of two upcoming procurement projects under development: the Holt Lock Filling and Emptying Valve Bulkhead and the Okatibbee Dam Culvert Intake Bulkhead. The primary objective of these projects is for the fabricator to provide all labor, materials, shop facilities, and equipment necessary for the complete fabrication, shop-testing, and delivery of these structures to USACE for Government acceptance and use. The Government is particularly interested in fabricator consultation regarding manufacturing feasibility, quality control (QA/QC) parameters, and transport logistics. Key topics for feedback include: Fabrication & Tolerance Feasibility: Review of Draft Drawings and Technical Specifications. Material & Component Procurement: Availability, long-lead items, and specialty steel sourcing. Shop Testing & Quality Assurance: Feedback on proposed validation testing and inspections. Delivery & Transportation Logistics: Delivery requirements and shipping constraints. The Industry Day event will be held via Microsoft TEAMS at 1000 CDT on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The virtual meeting will consist of a briefing for each project conducted by the USACE engineering team. After the general session, individual 45-minute breakout sessions will be held for interested firms, beginning at 1130 PM CST. This is a critical opportunity for fabricators to provide direct feedback and discuss potential approaches and challenges one-on-one with the project team. We strongly encourage fabricators to share their suggestions, particularly regarding the draft specifications and drawings. A short questionnaire will be emailed following the briefing. Draft drawings and technical specifications will be provided as enclosures for review prior to the meeting. Funding has been authorized and allocated for these fabrication requirements. The government intends to utilize the feedback gathered during this Industry Day to finalize the acquisition package and schedule the formal advertisement of the work early 2027. Please email the Project Managers, Ashley Kleinschrodt at ashley.n.kleinschrodt@usace.army.mil (Holt Bulkhead) and Jonas White at jonas.white@usace.army.mil (Okatibbee Bulkhead) no later than 1600 CDT on September 18, 2026, if you plan to attend this event and if you are interested in participating in the individual breakout sessions. Provide your name, contact information, the company you represent. If no contractors respond, Industry Day will be canceled. Disclaimer: This is a pre-solicitation notice for planning purposes only and does not constitute a request for proposal. A formal solicitation is not available at this time.
