About this file

This is an amendment (A00003) to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the United States Coast Guard Office of Rapid Response and Prototyping (CG-RAPTOR) for the Coastal Sentinel program. The amendment cancels the planned Industry Day demonstrations scheduled for 29 September 2026 in San Diego, California, due to an overwhelming response of over 160 submissions to the RFI. Rather than proceeding with the original plan to down-select and invite up to ten companies for in-person demonstrations, CG-RAPTOR and the Coastal Sentinel Program Office will pursue an alternative market research approach involving multiple engagement methods including technical exchanges, one-on-one meetings, demonstrations, and future industry days to better understand submitted technologies and refine Coastal Sentinel requirements.

The RFI seeks mature, operationally relevant technologies across four Technical Areas of Interest that can strengthen the Coastal Sentinel capability portfolio and be rapidly evaluated, integrated with existing maritime data and command-and-control workflows, and transitioned to address urgent operational needs. This is a pre-solicitation market research effort and does not constitute a binding commitment to award a contract. Inquiries regarding the amendment should be directed to Contract Specialist Ken Boyer (Kenneth.S.Boyer@uscg.mil) or Contracting Officer Ted Araya (Ted.Araya@uscg.mil).

Text version

The United States Coast Guard is issuing this amendment A00003 to the Coastal Sentinel RFI to announce a change in the Office of Rapid Response and Prototyping (CG-RAPTOR) approach to the Industry Day demonstrations planned for 29 September 2026. Due to the overwhelming number of responses to the RFI, it is not feasible to effectively review and identify ten responses to invite for demonstrations on 29 September. As a result, the demonstrations planned for the afternoon of 29 September are cancelled.

CG-RAPTOR and the Coastal Sentinel Program Office will continue to review the responses and develop a market research approach that will allow the Coast Guard to better engage companies that submitted solutions in the four Technical Areas of Interest and engage respondents in a manner that will foster better Coast Guard understanding of the technologies. This continued market research will be conducted in multiple ways (e.g. technical exchanges, one-on-one meetings, demonstrations, industry days) to help the Coast Guard define and refine the Coastal Sentinel requirements.

CG-RAPTOR and the Coastal Sentinel Program Office sincerely thank the over 160 respondents for investing their time to respond to the RFI, the high-quality of the submissions, and the continued industry interest in supporting Coast Guard’s Coastal Sentinel program. Questions concerning this RFI amendment can be directed to the Contract Specialist Mr. Ken Boyer, Kenneth.S.Boyer@uscg.mil and Contracting Officer Mr. Ted Araya, Ted.Araya@uscg.mil.
