How to bid on Fire Protection Services for the U.S. Coast Guard
What the Coast Guard is buying
The U.S. Coast Guard plans to award McClellan Business Park LLC a sole-source contract for fire protection services at USCG Air Station Sacramento in McClellan, California. The work covers maintenance and testing of installed automatic fire alarm systems, water-based fire protection systems and pumps, and fixed systems, with a contract period of up to five years.
This is a special notice, not a request for proposals, and no solicitation is available. The Coast Guard says McClellan Business Park is the only responsible source because of its agreement to operate and maintain the airfield facilities. A vendor that believes it can meet the requirement may submit information for the agency to consider.
Deadline and what happens next
Responses must be received by October 30, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which is 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Send the response by that deadline to Contracting Specialist Angela M. Barker at [email protected].
The Coast Guard will decide whether to compete the proposed acquisition at its discretion. It says it may not acknowledge receipt or provide feedback to respondents.
