The United States Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a forecast contract for the rebuild of two historic navigational aids: Southwest Pass Light 8 (LLNR 12795) and Point Pleasant Lower Light 30 (LLNR 13225). The work is scheduled to take place at the Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans, specifically at the Belle Chase facility in New Orleans, Louisiana. The contract is designated as a HUBZone set-aside, meaning it is reserved for businesses located in historically underutilized business zones that meet specific small business criteria, with the NAICS code 236220 identifying it as a construction project in commercial and institutional building construction. Karina Gudiel serves as both the point of contact and the Small Business Specialist for this opportunity, with direct contact information provided for inquiries. While there is no posted solicitation number or formal date for release, the contract is currently in forecasting stage, indicating planned future solicitation. The project involves substantial reconstruction efforts for both structures, critical to maritime safety in the Gulf Coast region, and aims to support infrastructure resilience and operational readiness. Interested small businesses in HUBZone areas are encouraged to engage early with the designated point of contact to understand requirements and prepare responsive proposals ahead of the anticipated formal solicitation.
