About this award
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a delivery order to Serco Inc. on August 21, 2023, for Very High Frequency Data Exchange System (VDES) R-Mode research support, with a ceiling value of $365,781.84. This cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, which extends through January 29, 2027, operates under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) indefinite delivery vehicle and does not utilize any set-aside designation. Performance will be conducted at Serco's New London, Connecticut facility, positioning the work in proximity to Coast Guard operational headquarters. The VDES R-Mode initiative represents the Coast Guard's modernization efforts in maritime communication and positioning technology, with R-Mode serving as a backup to Global Positioning System signals for critical navigation and positioning applications.
As the parent contractor on this delivery order, Serco Inc. brings substantial technical and engineering capabilities to the engagement. The company, a Virginia-based subsidiary of British-headquartered Serco Group plc, has extensive experience supporting federal agencies across defense, civilian, and homeland security domains through its OASIS+ contract, which carries a potential ceiling value approaching $1 trillion. This no-cost extension request indicates continued collaboration on research initiatives that support the Coast Guard's modernization objectives in maritime communication systems and positioning technology resilience.
