The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New York District, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) will host the Fall FY27 Industry Day from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 15, 2026. The hybrid event will bring industry, government, community organizations, and other interested attendees together with USMMA and USACE leadership for an updated view of the Campus Modernization Initiative, its strategic direction, and anticipated procurement activity. This event is open to the general public, and interested vendors.

The FY27-FY28 forecast will emphasize the substantial heavy construction opportunities central to the modernization program while also addressing utility upgrades and complementary supporting and non-construction requirements.
