CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS

1.1 General Description of Supplies/Services

The Coast Guard (CG) seeks to procure a scalable, International Maritime Organization (IMO) certified Shipborne Surveillance Radar (SSR) system to serve as the primary collision avoidance system, enhancing navigation and surveillance for cutters and shore units.
