USCG Station Lake Worth Inlet HVAC Diagnostic and Repairs
HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF.US COAST GUARD.BASE MIAMI BEACH · Response deadline: Thu, 12 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a contract for HVAC diagnostic and repair services at Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet. The scope of work involves mechanical systems typically associated with NAICS code 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors. This classification covers installation, servicing, and repair of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC), and refrigeration systems for buildings and industrial processes.
For Coast Guard facilities, HVAC maintenance is mission-critical. Station Lake Worth Inlet operates in a corrosive salt-air environment in South Florida, where equipment degradation accelerates and reliable climate control supports both operational readiness and personnel health. Contractors should expect work that may include troubleshooting system failures, component replacement, refrigerant handling, ductwork assessment, and preventive maintenance on commercial-grade or industrial equipment. Specific equipment lists, service frequency requirements, and performance standards—see the solicitation.

Who can bid
This opportunity is restricted to small businesses under NAICS 238220. To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for this code—currently $25.5 million in average annual receipts over three years. Additionally, you must be registered in SAM.gov and have an active status at the time of award.
You do not need to be a veteran-owned, woman-owned, or other socioeconomically certified business to compete; the set-aside is a general small business preference. However, if you hold 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB certification, ensure your SAM profile reflects current certifications as they may strengthen your competitive position on future related opportunities.
How to put together a competitive bid
Verify technical qualifications. NAICS 238220 work typically requires licensed HVAC technicians. Confirm Florida state licensure requirements, EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling, and any Coast Guard-specific safety clearances. The solicitation may require bonding or proof of insurance—see the solicitation for minimum coverage amounts.
Account for coastal corrosion factors. Bidders experienced with marine or salt-air environments should highlight this capability. Propose materials and preventive measures suited to accelerated corrosion conditions. Specify response time commitments for emergency repairs, as operational downtime carries mission risk.
Price strategically. Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices often proceed rapidly to award. Structure pricing for both routine diagnostics and potential repair scenarios. Clarify whether your quote is firm fixed-price, time-and-materials, or includes escalation clauses—see the solicitation for the required pricing structure.
Demonstrate small business compliance. Affirm your size status narrative, especially if revenue approaches the threshold. Ensure DSBS (Dynamic Small Business Search) profile alignment with your proposal claims.
