This solicitation includes the construction of a new facility to support medical and dental personnel and functions as well as offices and counseling areas for Work-Life personnel.

The Facilities Design and Construction Center (FDCC) is a Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center (SILC) field command dedicated to executing new shore facilities construction and major recapitalization projects. The FDCC is responsible for all phases of project execution including planning, design, procurement contracts, construction and facility commissioning. Under the Coast Guard’s Force Design 2028 initiative, the FDCC and the SILC were incorporated into the new CG-SHORE domain, one of five program executive offices that were established under the Systems Integration Directorate to implement a fully integrated, systems-based approach to asset lifecycle management.
