Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract based on W912P825C0024 awarded to Muddy Water Dredging Lp for CR&P dredging from Mile 17–36, with a value of $23,439,111 (10/31/25–08/10/27). The prior scope closely matches the current solicitation’s maintenance dredging in the Calcasieu River Ship Channel with disposal in adjacent confined disposal facilities, including retention dike construction, surveys, and optional work such as Devil’s Elbow removal and ditching/draining of disposal areas. The current effort covers Mile 5.0 to Mile 17.0, which suggests it may be a continuation of the same dredging program along the channel.
