USMC Stair Runner Replacement for Home of the Commandant

The Department of Defense, through the Marine Corps, has issued a sources sought announcement under solicitation M0026427RFI002 to conduct market research for the replacement of the stair runner at the Home of the Commandant in Washington D.C. This project requires a custom, like-for-like replacement for three flights of stairs and associated landings, designed to replicate the existing runner's appearance, color, pattern, and texture to maintain the residence's historic architectural character. The scope of work includes field measurements, the provision of material samples for government approval, fabrication of a professional-quality runner with finished edges, and full installation. The project must be completed by April 16, 2027, with work typically performed Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238330. Interested vendors must demonstrate experience in custom carpet fabrication and professional installation. Key requirements include the use of protective coverings to safeguard historic woodwork and architectural features, the removal of all contractor-generated debris, and compliance with security and access-control protocols at Marine Barracks Washington. Responses must be submitted to Sergeant Jacob Espinosa by 10:00 AM EST on October 22, 2026, and should include the company name, address, phone number, point of contact, CAGE code, company size status, and ownership nationality.
