COAST GUARD

Request for Information (RFI)

Disclaimer: There is NO solicitation at this time. This RFI is NOT a request for proposals; submission of any information in response to this request is purely voluntary; the Government will not pay for any costs incurred nor is it obligated to respond. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future request for proposal (RFP), if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it may be synopsized on the SAM.gov website or issued through any number of existing Government contract vehicles determined by the Government to be the best procurement approach (e.g., GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), Government Wide Acquisition Vehicles

(GWACs), etc.). It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor any related solicitation sites used by the Government for additional information pertaining to this requirement.

Agency: United States Coast Guard (USCG)

Document Reference: PROPGLA_TECHSUP_SVC_RFI

Purpose: The Coast Guard is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research and identify qualified parties interested in providing technical support services for government and military shipbuilding projects.

Specifically, the USCG seeks to understand industry capabilities related to shipyard-specific software platforms, quality assurance practices, knowledge transfer and documentation management, and experience supporting federal shipbuilding efforts. The Coast Guard is also seeking information on the resources or information vendors would require from the government to successfully perform this work.

Description

The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement may be

541990.

After reviewing responses to this RFI, and if the USCG still plans to proceed with the acquisition, a solicitation announcement may be published on the government point of entry (SAM.gov) website or distributed to contract holders if a strategically sourced vehicle is deemed appropriate. It is the responsibility of the interested parties to monitor SAM.gov.

Failure to respond or submit sufficiently detailed information may result in a company not being considered a likely offeror when deciding on whether (or how) to set aside a solicitation for restricted competition. Regardless of the information submitted, the Government reserves the right to consider any arrangement as determined appropriate for this requirement.

Anticipated Period of Performance

The anticipated Period of Performance is five (5) years with an estimated start date of January 2027.

No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response to this

RFI. The Government reserves the right to use any information provided by respondents for any purpose determined necessary and legally appropriate, including using technical information provided by respondents in any resultant solicitation.
