Coastal Hotels Corporation

Coastal Hotels Corporation The Paragon Division, doing business as The Paragon, is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business headquartered in Brunswick, Georgia that provides hotel lodging services to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center exclusively as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates a specialized, single-customer business model — 221 of 226 awards (98% of potential value) flow from FLETC's recurring need to house law enforcement training students when on-center dormitories reach capacity.

The Paragon competes entirely under small business set-asides and has not subcontracted work. FLETC's purchase orders, all firm fixed-price, are structured on a per-class basis with payment contingent on actual student occupancy. Room specifications are standardized across awards: televisions, microwaves, refrigerators, safes, wireless internet, individual climate control, inside room entry doors, 24-hour front desk service seven days per week, and daily housekeeping. Hotels must be located within 40 to 60 driving miles of FLETC's Glynco, Georgia facility and comply with Service Contract Act wage determinations and applicable per diem ceilings. Representative awards include a $81,168 purchase order (August 24, 2026) for a class arriving in August 2026, a $76,896 order (August 3, 2026) for a class arriving in August 2026, and a $73,336 order (June 8, 2026) for a class arriving in June 2026 — all closed-out or completed orders reflecting the vendor's tight cycle times of two to four weeks per class.

Customer concentration is extreme: FLETC accounts for 221 awards and $5.6 million in combined potential value (87.5% of the vendor's total portfolio). Four awards from the Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service total $727 thousand, and one Air Force award adds $29 thousand. The Air Force awards, issued under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (W912JM18A6011) with four task orders, represent anomalies in an otherwise FLETC-exclusive footprint.

Activity has been volatile. The vendor received 59 awards in 2019, then collapsed to six in 2020 and four in 2021 — likely reflecting FLETC's pandemic-driven training pause. Recent recovery shows 28 awards in 2025 and 25 through August 2026. The vendor's entire commercial exposure is residential lodging (NAICS 721110 — Hotels except Casino Hotels and Motels; PSC Lodging Hotel/Motel), and all 226 awards are categorized as such. Combined potential value across the portfolio stands at $6.4 million, with $5.5 million obligated (86% of potential). Because The Paragon's awards are small, high-velocity purchase orders issued on a per-class basis with rapid close-out cycles, the recompete risk is structural rather than cliff-driven; orders complete within weeks of award, and FLETC's September 26, 2025 solicitation and March 6, 2025 solicitation are both sources of ongoing per-class placements. The vendor operates with no identified subcontractors and no parent-vehicle leverage outside the FLETC relationship.
