Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Worth checking: Award depends on funding. The award and start of work depend on the Coast Guard having a funded award, so a quote may not lead to a contract.
- Worth checking: Shipping to Alaska must be in the price. All shipping costs go in the total, quotes must be FOB destination only, and other terms are called non-responsive, so freight to Ketchikan has to be priced in.
- Worth checking: Square footage not in the text read. The SOW points to an attached map for the square footage, and the two map images were not read, so the carpet quantity needed for pricing isn't confirmed here.
Show all 8Show fewer
- Worth checking: Site walk on October 28, 2026 is optional but needs ID details in advance. The site walk is for any contractor who wishes to attend, and attendees' name, date of birth and ID number are due before October 21, 2026; the notice also lists an added-information file that wasn't read.
- Worth checking: Contractor handles its own dumpster and storage. There is no dumpster on site and storage is extremely limited, so a roll-off rental and off-site storage may add cost for a small firm in Ketchikan.
- Minor: Wage rule not pinned down. The notice calls this a service contract and attaches the text of the Service Contract Act, but no wage determination (a list of minimum local pay rates) appears in the files read.
- Minor: Unit of the priced line written two ways. The notice gives CLIN 0001 as QTY 01 with unit PROJECT, while the SOW attachment shows 1 EACH, so confirm how the price is to be entered.
- Minor: One SOW file still says carpet cleaning. Its background calls the buy carpet cleaning, while the notice and the other SOW file say carpet removal and new installation; the notice scope is removal and installation.

Not in the notice text
- Attached but not read: UNITED STATES COAST GUARD KETCHIKAN CARPET REQUIRMENT ADDED INFORMATION AS OF 22 OCTOBER 2026.docx, SITE WALK INFO CARPET INSTALLATION.docx and QUESTONSANDANWERSFORM2-CARPET-RQMT.docx (couldn't be opened), plus the map images BASEKETCHIKANSCRUBBEDMAPCARPETRQMT.jpg and BASE-KETCHIKAN-SCRUBBED-MAP-CARPET-RQMT.png (image files aren't read yet). Check them on SAM.gov.
- The square footage of carpet to be removed and replaced is on the map images, which were not read.
- The text read doesn't say where or how to send the quote, or name a contact for it; questions and answers are posted on the SAM.gov notice.
- No wage determination (Service Contract Act or Davis-Bacon) is given in the text read, so the wage rule that applies is not stated.
- The documents don't say what makes a contractor "qualified" or a quote technically acceptable.
- When the color swatches (at least 6 choices per color family) and the storage space estimate are due isn't stated.
- The access pass form refers to the Command Bldg, while the SOW names the Administrative building 3rd floor; confirm the building with the contracting officer.
- The carpet color sample file shows only an email header, so the current color isn't visible in the text read.
Eligibility and how to respond
- No set-aside: any business, large or small, can bid unless the notice says otherwise.
- How and where to submit is in the notice text and its attachments on SAM.gov.
- Construction contracts over $2,000 pay at least the local Davis-Bacon wage rates, from the wage determination in the solicitation. Price your labor from it: How to price a government contract, and how Davis-Bacon differs from the Service Contract Act.
