Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Worth checking: Few small business slots expected. The Coast Guard expects a mix like the current contract, with five unrestricted awards and four small business awards, so small firms compete for a small share.
- Worth checking: Must show field or satellite offices. The capability statement must name any field or satellite offices that would support the various locations, so firms without offices near coastal sites may look weaker.
- Minor: Market research only, no award from this notice. This notice does not buy anything; a separate solicitation would follow, and the number of contracts is not set.

- Minor: Work possible outside the United States. Services may be needed at locations outside the US where the Coast Guard has a mission interest; the notice does not say what that would require of a firm.
