How to bid on USCG Air Station San Diego Crew Berthing ROOMS Renovations
What the Coast Guard is buying
The U.S. Coast Guard needs a small business to renovate the Aircrew Duty Berthing Room in Building D at Sector San Diego. This project involves modernizing six sleeping rooms, a central hallway, and one bathroom. The work includes replacing lighting with new dimmable LED fixtures, renovating the bathroom with new commercial-grade fixtures and flooring, installing new Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring and baseboards, and painting all interior walls and trim.
This is a total small business set-aside opportunity. Vendors should review the Statement of Work (SOW) for full technical requirements, safety standards, and applicable codes. The contractor will be responsible for demolition of existing materials and installation of new commercial-grade items.

Tips for a competitive response
Carefully review the Statement of Work (SOW) and the Asbestos and Lead Survey Report. Although lead levels are low, compliance with Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction Standard (8 CCR § 1532.1) is mandatory. Your safety plans, including the Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) and Accident Prevention Plan (APP), must clearly detail how you will meet these requirements for lead-containing materials and general construction safety.
Ensure your proposal includes all required documents: product data sheets and warranties for major items, paint color and flooring finish samples or spec sheets, detailed safety plans, a comprehensive technical plan outlining the project schedule, relevant past performance examples, proof of valid professional and trade licenses (plumbing, electrical, tile-setting), and a transparent pricing sheet breaking down costs for labor, materials, and waste disposal. Remember that government dumpsters cannot be used for waste disposal.
