About this award
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $77,480 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Research Planning, Inc. (RPI), a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, for the development of mobile applications supporting aerial observations and Shoreline Cleanup and Assessment Technique (SCAT) operations for oil spill response in freshwater and ice environments. The contract, awarded on January 13, 2026, with a completion date of January 12, 2027, carries no small business set-aside designation. RPI's involvement in this effort leverages the company's established expertise in environmental sensitivity mapping, emergency response support, and technical consulting services that it has provided to federal agencies including the Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through multiple award schedule and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicles.
RPI is well-positioned to execute this work given its background in oil spill response support and specialized expertise in ecological assessments and spatial analytics. The mobile application development will enhance the Coast Guard's operational capability to conduct rapid assessments and remediation planning in challenging environments where traditional oil spill response methods may be constrained by geographic or climatic conditions. This contract represents targeted technology development that supports the Coast Guard's environmental emergency response mission, particularly in scenarios involving inland waterways and iced-over regions where conventional SCAT methodologies require adaptation.
