About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) Data Services, awarding a contract to Pole Star Space Applications Inc. valued at approximately $35.9 million over three years beginning September 1, 2025. The services involve operating as the U.S.-recognized Application Service Provider and National Data Center for maritime vessel tracking, maintaining over 90 data-sharing and billing agreements with foreign data centers, and providing 24/7 watch support for maritime security operations. The Coast Guard justified the sole-source procurement based on Pole Star being the only IMO-certified provider for the United States, with switching providers potentially resulting in substantial costs, mission disruption, and violations of international treaty obligations. The contract is structured as a Single Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement that supports critical maritime security programs including vessel tracking for ships approaching U.S. waters, AMVER, and Search and Rescue operations. The procurement falls under the Navigational Services to Shipping NAICS category and will be funded through Operations and Support Funds in Fiscal Year 2025.
