AshBritt, a Deerfield Beach, Florida-based disaster recovery and emergency response contractor, has received a $500 million modification to an existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contract.
The modification extends the ordering period and increases the contract’s available capacity for emergency response requirements.
Announced November 6, 2026, the action was issued under contract W912EK-22-D-0002 and is being administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois.
The expanded agreement provides additional contracting capacity for emergency response work as needs arise.
Work locations and funding will be determined through subsequent orders, with an estimated completion date of February 17, 2027.
The contract modification reflects the Army Corps of Engineers’ need to maintain access to contractors capable of responding to emergency situations.
Such requirements can involve mobilizing personnel, equipment, logistical resources, and specialized services in response to disasters or other urgent events.
Emergency response contracting arrangements are designed to provide the government with flexibility to assign work quickly when unforeseen conditions require additional resources.
By increasing the contract ceiling, the Army Corps can authorize additional work under an established contracting vehicle without launching an entirely new procurement for each requirement.
The agreement is particularly relevant to the Corps’ responsibilities involving emergency management and support for disaster-related operations.
The government determines the location, scope, and funding of individual assignments as operational needs develop.
The original contract was awarded following a competitive solicitation that attracted nine bids.
The latest modification extends the period during which the Army Corps may issue additional orders and increases the potential value of work available under the arrangement.
The $500 million represents an increase in contract capacity and does not necessarily indicate that the full amount has been obligated or assigned to specific projects.
AshBritt will remain available to support applicable emergency response requirements under the expanded contract.
The modification strengthens the government’s available contracting resources as it prepares for future emergency operations requiring rapid deployment and coordinated contractor support.
