The Product and Service Code (PSC) AS33 encompasses Transportation Research and Development Services, specifically focusing on water transportation and experimental development. This category involves innovative maritime safety and rescue technologies, with a particular emphasis on developing advanced life-saving equipment for water-based emergency scenarios. The research and development efforts target cutting-edge solutions for mass rescue operations, marine safety, and emergency response technologies.

The federal contract awards in this PSC category demonstrate a focused investment by the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate in developing Mass Rescue Operations (MRO) devices. Three contracts were awarded in September 2022, ranging from $89,720 to $431,060, with performance periods extending to September 2025. The awards were made to small businesses including Viking Life-Saving Equipment (America), Inc., Crown Hydrodynamics LLC, and Moonprint Solutions LLC. These contracts are firm-fixed-price definitive contracts with no specific set-aside designations, targeting the development of ultra-lightweight, large-capacity floating devices capable of supporting 100-150 people in emergency maritime rescue scenarios.

The provided materials do not include information about current Federal Contract Opportunities beyond the awards. The existing contract awards suggest ongoing interest in developing innovative maritime rescue technologies, particularly devices that can provide short-term lifesaving assistance during maritime disasters. The research appears focused on creating lightweight, high-capacity rescue equipment that can operate effectively in challenging environmental conditions for extended periods.
