Contractors must be United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) certified and provide trained lifeguards who meet specific qualifications, including minimum age requirements, ocean rescue training, and CPR and first aid certification.

Key dates include a vendor question cutoff on May 15, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of June 2, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST.
The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 713990, with a small business size standard of $9 million. The base contract period will run from October 2025 to September 2026, with four potential option periods extending through September 2030.
