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 t
