The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Marine Design Center (MDC) will be releasing a sources- sought notice for the construction of the Mat Boat, a 188- x 74- x 100-foot deck barge for the Mat Sinking Unit at Vicksburg on the Mississippi River. The barge is to be built to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Rules for Service on Rivers and Intracoastal Waterways. The sources-sought notice is only for the construction of the barge, and not for the final product. The sources-sought notice will be released on the FedBizOpps.gov website.
