If you're an MWBE or SDVOB-certified sub or supplier, Weeks Marine, Inc. wants to hear from you. Weeks Marine is the prime contractor on a job called "Construction of Marine Facilities" for the Albany Port District Commission, and it's reaching out to minority- and women-owned businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to price pieces of the work. Quotes are due to Weeks Marine by December 18.
The job carries solicitation number CR#2140603, which is a New York State Contract Reporter number — check the solicitation itself to confirm exactly what that number tracks and what paperwork goes with it. The work is in Albany, New York. The posting doesn't say which trades Weeks Marine is looking to fill, so don't assume your trade is or isn't included — ask.
This is an outreach ad, not the prime contract itself. That means the dollar value of the overall job and the specific scopes open to subs aren't listed in what's public here. What is clear: Weeks Marine is building marine facilities at the Albany Port, and the company is looking to fill its MWBE and SDVOB numbers before the December 18 deadline.
The Albany Port District Commission has been investing in SDVOB and MWBE participation — the Port put over $1,000,000 toward those businesses for services and goods in just 2025, so outreach like this isn't a one-off box to check. If you do marine construction work, rail work, or wharf and dock trades, this is worth a call even if the ad doesn't spell out every scope.
If you want in, don't wait on paperwork to sort itself out. Reach out to Weeks Marine now, confirm what certifications you need and what scopes are open, and get your qualifications and a number together well before December 18. The earlier you're in front of the prime, the better your shot at actually being included in their bid.
