About this file
This solicitation requests proposals for a Radar Sensor System to be integrated into MH-65 and MH-60 aircraft. Offerors must provide a system meeting numerous technical requirements for detection range and resolution of vessels and weather conditions. Key requirements include detecting small non-metal and metal vessels from 5-20 nm, displaying weather returns up to 120 nm, and fitting within defined space constraints. Proposals are due by July 19th and award is anticipated by November 28th. This is an unrestricted solicitation from the U.S. Coast Guard seeking a firm-fixed price contract for an initial one-year base period and six one-year options.
