USACE Sets Callao Naval Base Industry Days for A/E and Design-Build Firms

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Latin America and Caribbean District is organizing two industry days in Lima to support market research for the planned modernization of the Peruvian Navy’s Callao Naval Base. The sessions address separate requirements: multidisciplinary architecture and engineering services on December 1, 2026, and construction using a Design-Build approach on December 2. The split agenda gives firms a chance to engage on the professional-services and infrastructure-construction components independently, while helping USACE assess industry capabilities and potential approaches before any procurement is announced.

The events are explicitly informational market-research activities, not solicitations. Participation will not directly result in a contract award, and firms should not treat attendance as a substitute for monitoring any subsequent formal notice or solicitation. For industry, the primary value is the opportunity to understand the planned work, communicate relevant experience, and provide capability information while USACE is shaping its understanding of the market. Firms should keep statements about the effort grounded in the available event information: the source describes a planned modernization and distinct A/E and Design-Build efforts, but does not establish final scope, procurement terms, or award timing.

Interested companies must request registration by email no later than November 18, 2026. Each company may send up to three representatives and may request a 15-minute capability briefing. The sessions are scheduled at Centro Naval Sede San Borja in Lima. Companies considering attendance should coordinate internally across capture, engineering, estimating, and international business development teams so that the delegation can address both relevant technical capabilities and the firm’s experience delivering comparable facilities. A briefing request should clearly identify the company’s interest and the effort it relates to; the provided information does not specify a guaranteed briefing slot.

The extracted opportunity data associates NAICS 541330, Engineering Services, with contract number W51DQV27Z1CV8, and NAICS 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with contract number W51DQV27Z1CV9. These identifiers help firms distinguish the two market-research tracks, but they do not convert the industry days into active competitions. Contractors should use the event to assess whether the planned work aligns with their capabilities and teaming strategies, while tracking official USACE and SAM notices for any later acquisition details. Because the project is located in Peru and involves a naval installation, interested firms may also wish to evaluate international delivery considerations, partner capacity, and relevant experience with secure military infrastructure—without assuming requirements that have not been published.
