Purchase Order HSCG2810P7AAAN7

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $44,426 Time and Materials Purchase Order to Hecol, LLC for building renovation work at its Miami, Florida facility. The contract, awarded on August 27, 2010, with an ultimate completion date of September 26, 2010, was designated as a Competitive 8(a) set-aside, making it available exclusively to qualified small disadvantaged businesses certified under the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program. The scope of work involved building renovation activities to be executed in accordance with a statement of work provided by the contracting engineering officer.

As a relatively short-duration, fixed-budget engagement, this purchase order represents routine facility maintenance and improvement work within the Coast Guard's real property portfolio. The Time and Materials pricing structure allowed for flexibility in resource allocation while protecting the government's interests through the established ceiling value. The 8(a) set-aside designation supported the program's objectives of fostering business development opportunities for economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs while meeting the agency's facility infrastructure needs.
