About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source contract to GC Control Services for pest management services at Base & Sector Los Angeles Long Beach and Point Vicente Lighthouse under Purchase Request 31100PR260000037 on a limited-sources basis.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-2 (urgency). The Coast Guard determined that opening the requirement to full competition would introduce unacceptable operational risk and health-and-safety exposure. The scope covers synchronized pest management across over 300,000 square feet of non-contiguous property encompassing more than 30 buildings, including living quarters, historic structures, and the main galley. The galley's food-storage and meal-service functions require strict regulatory hygiene compliance; disruption of pest control services presents an immediate food-safety and sanitary risk to all units on Terminal Island. Standard FAR solicitation periods (10–30 days) would result in lapses in service during critical onboarding across dispersed facilities. Additionally, fiscal-year end spend-down timelines and historical delays in funding distribution constrain scheduling. Market research and prior experience with alternative regional providers documented unacceptable past performance, including chronic billing issues, hidden fees, and unreliable communication. GC Control Services possesses proven reliability and familiarity with the facility portfolio and base-access requirements. Place of performance is Base & Sector Los Angeles Long Beach and Point Vicente Lighthouse. NAICS code 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services); PSC S207 (Housekeeping—Insect/Rodent Control).

Justification for Other Than Full & Open Competition Notification
USCG Purchase Request (PR): 31100PR260000037
1. Description of Services / Scope
The scope of this requirement includes all facilities attached to Base & Sector Los Angeles Long Beach and the Point Vicente Lighthouse, requiring synchronized pest management across over 300,000 square feet of non-contiguous property. Managing this portfolio demands precise coordination, secure base access management, and familiarization with various specialized facilities, ranging from living quarters and historic structures to the main galley.
2. Rationale for Other Than Full & Open Competition
A disruption in these critical services presents an immediate health and safety risk, particularly to the galley, which stores food and serves all units on Terminal Island. Because the galley requires strict regulatory hygiene compliance, the Coast Guard would assume an unacceptable level of risk to food safety and sanitary conditions if forced into an agreement with vendors lacking proven reliability.
Market research and acquisition history indicate that opening this requirement to full competition under current time constraints—due to historic shutdowns, delays in distributing funds, and mandated spend-down timelines at the end of the Fiscal Year—introduces severe operational risk. Previous experience with alternative regional providers has demonstrated unacceptable past performance, including chronic billing issues, the assessment of hidden fees, and unreliable communication.
Furthermore, standard reasonable solicitation periods (10-30 days) required under FAR Parts 5.2, 6, 12.603, and 13 would result in unnecessary lapses in service. Onboarding new vendors would require extensive site visits and coordination across over 30 buildings and multiple properties. This timeline extends directly into the LOG9 mandated spend-down period for Bases. This J&A's basis is on Urgency under FAR 6.302-2
3. Unique Qualifications of the Selected Source
GC Control Services is uniquely positioned as the only responsible source with existing, active security clearances for base access and site-specific operational knowledge. Awarding to this vendor guarantees immediate, uninterrupted continuity of critical pest management services without risking the health and safety of base personnel during a compressed administrative window. Additionally, an award to GC Control Services Inc. supports Coast Guard small business and minority-owned utilization initiatives.
Awarded contract 70Z03726PLALB0019 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-06-12.
