USCG Academy North Atrium Landscaping Project

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is seeking landscaping services to replace the landscaping in the North Atrium of McAllister Hall at their New London, Connecticut facility. The Department of Homeland Security's Coast Guard requires a contractor to remove existing plantings and materials, replace the failing brick patio, repair concrete surfaces, and install native, drought-tolerant plant species with minimal irrigation needs to create a sustainable, low-maintenance landscape design. The contractor must complete all work within 30 days of receiving the notice to proceed and coordinate closely with the Facilities Engineering Division to minimize disruption to academic operations. The government will award a firm-fixed price contract using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology. Proposals are due by 10:30 AM EST on September 3, 2025, and must include a detailed technical proposal not exceeding 5 pages, key personnel information, and a comprehensive cost breakdown.

This procurement is designated as a 100% Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 561730 (Landscaping Services) with a size standard of $9.5 million. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are mentioned in the solicitation documents. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the procurement falls under the landscaping services category with a substantial size standard threshold. The solicitation requires 35,000 units of landscaping services to be delivered by September 5, 2025, representing a one-time service project rather than an ongoing contract. The work will be performed at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy located at 31 Mohegan Ave Parkway, New London, Connecticut, with offerors required to complete a mandatory site visit and possess a "real" ID with a star for facility access. All personnel working on the project must comply with Service Contract Act Wage Determination No. WD 2015-4111.
