USCG Lodging – Washington, DC & Manhattan, NY, May–June 2026

The U.S. Coast Guard’s Special Mission Training Center, under the Department of Homeland Security, is soliciting lodging services for its personnel in Washington, DC, and Manhattan, NY, during the period of 26 May 2026 to 4 June 2026, under solicitation number 70098PR260020208. This is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 721110, with the award to be made through a best-value trade-off process that considers both price and non-price factors including technical capability, cancellation flexibility, and location accessibility, rather than as a lowest price technically acceptable procurement. Offers must be submitted electronically by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on 1 May 2026, with proposals divided into two volumes: Volume 1 for pricing and Volume 2 for the technical approach and cancellation policy, the latter capped at 30 pages with a minimum 12-point font. The contract is expected to be Firm Fixed Price, with payment required through the Invoice Processing Platform and no use of WAWF authorized. Contractors must meet stringent compliance requirements, including annual DHS security awareness training for all employees, adherence to IT security protocols for unclassified resources, and compliance with labor standards under the Service Contract Act, including minimum wage provisions under Executive Order 14026 and paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706. Subcontracting obligations require annual reporting under the Small Business Subcontracting Plan and participation in the DHS Mentor-Protégé Program, while local hiring preferences may be enforced. Contractors must also certify their small business status via SAM, disclose UEIs, and comply with representations regarding tax delinquency, inversion, and anti-trafficking. Performance will be evaluated at the places of service in Washington, DC, and Manhattan, NY, with the Government retaining authority to inspect and accept services based on facility condition, cleanliness, safety, amenity availability, and occupancy limits of two persons per room. Risk and liability are governed by USCG-specific clauses covering insurance, delays, liens, title, and indemnity for intellectual property, with F.o.B. Origin and Destination terms applied as appropriate. No specific contract value is disclosed, and all submissions are to be emailed directly to the Contracting Officer, with no face-to-face, fax, or paper submissions permitted.
