How to bid on the Pacific Coast Highway Area Lease and Development Opportunity, Navy
What the Navy is buying and why it matters
The United States Department of the Navy is looking for qualifications and proposals for a long-term lease and private development of approximately 28 acres at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach in Seal Beach, California. This is an opportunity for private developers to lease government property.
The Navy's preferred approach is for the selected developer to provide in-kind consideration, such as mission sustainment projects, instead of cash payments. The value of these in-kind projects must be at least equal to the fair market value of the leasehold interest.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The solicitation was posted on July 15, 2026. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for August 25, 2026, at the Navy Golf Course in Cypress, CA. The last day to submit clarifying questions is September 16, 2026.
Statements of Qualifications are due by September 30, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time. After this deadline, the Navy will review submissions. Shortlisted entities will be notified on January 18, 2027, and will receive the "Step 2 RFP" data pack.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for private development firms with experience in large-scale projects and an interest in long-term lease agreements. Firms that can offer mission sustainment projects as in-kind payment, rather than cash, may find this particularly appealing.
The relevant category for this opportunity is facilities development and leasing, specifically for real property assets.
