The United States Coast Guard is inviting local and regional industry partners to explore contract opportunities for its new training center, TRACEN Birmingham-Southern, located at the former Birmingham-Southern College campus.
The Coast Guard has released a Request for Information (RFI) to identify capable parties to provide comprehensive Base Operations Support Services (BOSS) for the 192-acre, 60-building facility. Services required include, but are not limited to:
- Facilities and housing maintenance (HVAC, electrical, plumbing)
- Custodial services
- Grounds maintenance and landscaping
- Pest control and refuse collection
- Campus security
To provide interested parties with an opportunity to learn more about the requirements and tour the campus, the Coast Guard will host an industry open house at TRACEN Birmingham-Southern on June 24 and 25, 2026. This event will offer a valuable forum for potential contractors to understand the scope of the project and ask questions. Both days will cover identical material, so attendees may choose either date.
The RFI is now open, and responses will be accepted until June 29th, 2026. Interested parties are encouraged to review the opportunity and submit their responses through the official System for Award Management (SAM) website.
