# Coast Guard Acquires Elizabeth City Facility

The U.S. Coast Guard acquired a **$2.1 million** facility in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, closing the purchase on July 30, 2026, to consolidate Minotaur command-and-control engineering and logistics work in a systems readiness lab. Renovations are planned before occupancy in summer 2027. The development may create future work in renovation, lab equipment, software and hardware integration, testing, and sustainment; separately, the Coast Guard has previously announced a recompete of Aviation Logistics Center IT services valued at more than $100 million, but no active solicitation is identified.

- Contractors with relevant facility renovation, laboratory outfitting, systems integration, testing, or sustainment capabilities can assess how their offerings align with the planned lab, while recognizing that the signal does not identify an active solicitation.
- The planned occupancy in summer 2027 provides a project-planning timeframe for potential facility and technical support needs; no specific solicitation or proposal deadline is stated.
- The Aviation Logistics Center IT services recompete is a separate potential opportunity valued at more than $100 million. Interested firms can use the announcement to assess their ability to support Coast Guard aviation IT services, but should not treat it as an open procurement.
