Coastal Hotels Corporation

Coastal Hotels Corporation, The Paragon Division, operating as The Paragon, provides hotel and motel lodging exclusively to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), a Department of Homeland Security component, as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The Paragon is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business headquartered in Brunswick, Georgia, competing entirely within the total small business set-aside category across its 221 recent federal awards.

The Paragon's capability footprint is singular and specialized: furnishing student housing in Brunswick, Georgia, within 40 to 60 driving miles of FLETC's Glynco facility, when on-center dormitories reach capacity. All work consists of firm fixed-price purchase orders for hotel rooms meeting federal specifications—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—with payment contingent on actual student occupancy. Representative recent awards include a $81,168 purchase order in June 2026, a $76,896 order in May 2026, a $72,357 order in January 2026, and a $194,554 order in October 2025, each covering a single training class arriving on specified dates with completion within weeks of award. The underlying solicitation, posted September 26, 2025 (for the October 2025–March 2026 window) and March 6, 2025 (for the April–September 2025 window), anticipated approximately 2,754 total room nights across multiple small business awardees, with class sizes typically ranging from 24 to 48 students.

Customer concentration is absolute: FLETC accounts for 216 awards (100% coverage) and $5.5 million of the $6.2 million combined potential value. The Paragon has also received four awards from the Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service ($727 thousand) and one from the Department of the Air Force ($29 thousand), but these represent historical outliers; the 2025–2026 activity is entirely FLETC-driven. Recent annual awards show activity at 28 purchase orders in 2025 and 20 in the first half of 2026, compared to much lower volumes (4 to 6 per year) in 2019–2021, reflecting either increased FLETC training enrollment or expanded use of supplemental lodging.

The Paragon operates as a direct prime contractor with no subcontractors across its entire portfolio. One blanket purchase agreement (W912JM18A6011, Department of the Army) carries four task orders worth $57 thousand, but represents negligible exposure relative to the FLETC purchase-order stream. Five awards (combined potential value $150 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The vendor's business model is entirely dependent on FLETC's recurring, per-class procurement cycle; absent FLETC demand, the vendor has no alternate customer base or revenue stream. Service Contract Act wage determinations and applicable per diem ceilings govern room pricing on all awards.
