USCG Base Charleston Lock Repair

The U.S. Coast Guard Base Charleston has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract for lock repair services at two Coast Guard facilities in South Carolina. The Department of Homeland Security's Coast Guard intends to award this procurement to Seven Oaks Doors & Hardware without competition, utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation procedures for sole-source acquisitions. The work involves repairing door components and lock systems at both USCG Base Charleston in North Charleston and USCG Sector Charleston in Charleston. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals but rather a formal notification of the government's intent to proceed with a non-competitive award. The procurement falls under the Locksmiths NAICS category and involves maintenance of miscellaneous buildings.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency about the government's sole-source procurement decision while offering other potential contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities. Any parties who believe they can perform the required lock repair services may submit capability statements by July 20, 2025, to SKC Adam Hitchcox at the provided email address. The actual work scope includes replacing 27 locks and 12 interchangeable cores at one facility and 34 locks at another facility, using Allegion-distributed Schlage products, with completion expected within 10 days. Contractors must provide qualified personnel, comply with government regulations, and deliver training on the new locking mechanisms. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on any responses received, and will not be responsible for costs incurred by parties responding to this notice.
