USCGC Polar Star Crew Temporary Lodging and Dining FY'26

Bluewater Management Group, LLC has been awarded a firm fixed-price contract valued at $687,000 under GSA Contract GS-33F-053AA to provide temporary lodging and dining services for the crew of the USCGC Polar Star during its drydock maintenance period in Seattle, Washington. The performance period spans from May 10, 2026, to September 7, 2026, covering a 120-day window during which the contractor is responsible for ensuring full accommodation and meal services for the crew. The contract was issued as a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 561599, indicating the awardee self-certified as a WOSB with annual receipts below the $26.5 million size standard. The procuring agency is the Department of Homeland Security through its SFLC Procurement Branch 2 located in Alameda, California, with the primary point of contact being Robin B. Kloeppel. Although the Statement of Work, Pricing, and Proposal are referenced as attachments, their specific details on service quality, room counts, meal schedules, or operational standards are not available in the provided documentation. The contract includes no option periods, modifications, or extended performance terms beyond the base period. Payment is to be made under a single CLIN with no delineated unit pricing beyond the total amount, and invoicing may be submitted using the contract order accompanied by a signed certification of deliverables. While the contracting office is in Alameda, the services are to be performed exclusively in Seattle, where government representatives will conduct inspection and acceptance upon delivery of services. No special requirements for security clearances, key personnel, organizational conflict of interest, packaging, marking, or military standards are specified, reflecting the commercial nature of the lodging services. The contract includes no populated FAR clauses or supplemental terms beyond administrative data, and formal representations from the contractor such as UEI or CAGE code are not included in the award notice, suggesting these may be verified externally through SAM.gov. The absence of a detailed Section I, K, or H indicates a streamlined administrative award based on prior GSA schedule compliance and the contractor’s validated WOSB status.
