The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, is seeking businesses capable of disposing of seven generator stators. These stators are currently located at Fort Randall Dam in Pickstown, South Dakota. This is a Request for Information (RFI) or Sources Sought notice, which means the agency is conducting market research to identify potential vendors. It is not a solicitation for a contract award at this time.
For vendors, this is an opportunity to inform the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about your capabilities in logistical support and disposal services for large industrial components. Responding can help shape future solicitations and position your business for upcoming contract opportunities related to this type of work.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on August 03, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 14, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. All submissions must be received by this time.
Since this is a Sources Sought notice, the agency will review the submitted information to understand the market's capacity and capabilities. There will not be a contract award directly from this RFI. The information gathered will help the agency determine its strategy for a potential future solicitation.

Firms with experience in environmental compliance for disposal and logistical support for government agencies would be well-suited.
