Charleston Regional Center USCG Court Room Construction

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking an 8(a) contractor to perform construction services for renovating and building out a US Coast Guard courtroom facility at the Charleston Regional Center. The project involves comprehensive interior renovation of an existing auditorium, dining hall, and kitchen to create a fully functional courtroom complex, including specialized spaces such as judge's chambers, jury rooms, prosecution and defense areas, personnel rooms, and technical equipment rooms. The construction will require extensive demolition and new construction of interior architectural elements, with specific focus on integrating complex systems including cabling, physical security, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety systems, and fire protection. The project will be located at Building C on Holland Street in North Charleston, South Carolina, with the precise solicitation number identified as 19AQMM25R0111. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the opportunity is structured as a competitive 8(a) procurement with a current posting date of February 18, 2025, and a response deadline of March 5, 2025.

The contract is specifically set aside for 8(a) program participants, indicating a focus on supporting small, disadvantaged businesses. The project falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of Y1AA for Office Building Construction. While the exact award value is not specified in the pre-solicitation notice, the comprehensive nature of the renovation suggests a significant investment in modernizing the facility's infrastructure and operational capabilities. The scope of work appears to be substantial, involving complete transformation of an existing space into a specialized judicial environment, which implies a complex and potentially time-intensive project.
