What the agency is buying
The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking a contractor to renovate the galley at its station in Lake Tahoe, California. This is a construction opportunity.
This project is set aside exclusively for small businesses, which means only small businesses can submit offers. This can be a good opportunity for eligible firms to secure a government contract.
Key dates and deadlines
The solicitation was published on August 31, 2026. If you have questions about the project, they must be submitted by September 10, 2026. Questions received after this date may not be answered before the solicitation closes.
All offers are due by September 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. Offers must be submitted by email to both the contracting officer and the contract specialist.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for small businesses with experience in construction, particularly those familiar with renovation projects. The work involves renovating a galley, so experience with commercial kitchen or similar facility upgrades would be relevant.
Firms located in or able to easily serve the Tahoe City, CA area may find this particularly appealing due to the site-specific nature of the work.
